If someone was randomly attacked by a mugger or the like and you were nearby, what would you do:
1) Try to help the person fend off the attacker
2) Scream for help and/or call 911
3) Run away, or at least find a safer place nearby
4) Whip out your cell phone and start recording, so you can get some YouTube hits
I think 1) through 3) are all perfectly reasonable and defensible choices. Not everyone is equipped to help someone in such a situation, so not immediately jumping in shouldn't be seen as a negative. Plus, such a situation could easily escalate to gunplay or the like, thus another reason to not jump in and even a reason to run away. One can still call 911 after moving to a safe place.
But what kind of ass simple starts filming, with no concern for the victim or--really--oneself?

A man who fought back against a stranger who randomly attacked and then robbed him inside a Brooklyn subway station said he was stunned by fellow staphangers — who stood by and began recording cell phone videos instead of helping.
