• today, in my introduction to anthropology, psychology, and sociology class, we learned about david cash. in 1998, he stood by as his best friend raped and killed a seven-year-old girl. he was not charged since he didn't actually participate in any of those acts. his friend is going to be in jail for the rest of his life, as he should be. we were discussing the bystander effect. it was a pretty boring discussion though. the teacher kept calling on the ditzes that think very highly of themselves and it was just them stating the obvious peppered with "oh my god, like, you know! seriously, oh my god!" i know i'm not a genius, but i'm definitely not that idiotic. i think that the friendship between them was what kept Cash from doing anything. especially since it was extremely out of character for his friend. i'm definitely not saying that what he did was right. it's horrifying to think that a person could just stand by and let that happen. even worse, afterward he went on a radio show and said the most horrible things. he said that he believed he'd done the right thing. i think there's only one friend that could push me to that. i know it's horrible, but that's humanity for you.
