They Stood by and Watched him Die!

While reading the morning newspaper about a 56-year-old man who was murdered while working on his job delivering pizza; the question pops up again, can anything be done, by everyone, to hold back ruthless people as they attempt to ruin more and more lives, including theirs?  Could it be that, the onslaught of homicides in Memphis has caused citizens to become de-sensitized about these deaths and they would like to put some distance between there lives and the crimes?  Or, do many of the citizens of Memphis accept the fact that nothing is possible to be done about this problem and simply give up? Think for a moment, are Memphians the most inactive people in the world as they standby and watch their families and friends murdered by ruthless killers?
