That's true. There's no legal mandate to be a Good Samaritan and help and protect your neighbors. But morally if you let a criminal escape and he rapes a girl next week, you're a little bit responsible because you could have stopped it.

I think your judgment is too harsh. What if the girl is a stranger? As a third party he can say he has no vested interest in her life, and suffers no personal loss if she is hurt or killed. He can say he has no mandate so why should he get involved?

Right?
