“To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee and “Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech” by Elie Wiesel are examples on why bystanders are guilty. People are obligated to stand up for others in need no matter the cost because it is the right thing to do.

I asked if she saw the killer and she gave me one of those no-you-imbecilic-bagel looks. I asked if she suspected anyone of being the killer.
