Adam's disease

From here on, I'm dubbing this kind of stuff Adam's disease:
A security video from an apartment hallway shows at least 10 witnesses ignored a woman's cries for help for more than an hour as a man beat and sexually assaulted her, prosecutors in Minnesota said.

The surveillance video clearly showed men and women looking out their apartment doors or starting to walk down the hallway before retreating as the woman was assaulted for nearly 90 minutes, police spokesman Tom Walsh said.

Police said they responded to a call of drunken behavior and found Somali immigrant Rage Ibrahim, 25, and a woman lying unconscious in the hallway early Tuesday. The woman's clothing had been pulled up and she had fresh scratches on her face and blood on her thigh, according to the criminal complaint.
If you haven't figured out which Adam I'm talking about:
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Genesis 3:6

I've heard the phrase "too many chiefs, not enough indians" used many times. My question now is, where are all the chiefs? One person is all it would have most likely taken to put an immediate end to this.

We've been conditioned, as a society, to do nothing. To sit back and let somebody else (usually government) handle the mess. How sad...
