The only thing Evil needs to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
Stand by and watch someone get beaten.... nope
Stand by and watch a bully.... nope
Stand by and watch a crime without taking a stand against it.... nope
I can not, I will not, stand by and watch as something goes down. Whether I call the cops, or intervene if I think there isn't time to wait. I'll get out and yell the cops are on their way, take pictures or video with my phone, or even stand in front of the weaker victim. I stood by and watched along with dozens of others once in college as a guy was beaten by three men. His offence was that while they were harassing a girl, he spoke up "just leave her alone". He spent a few days in the hospital because none of us had the courage to stop it. I've felt guilty about not standing with him, and I'll never stand by again.
