In some cases this may be true. In others, it is simply a cowardly act of titillation, collecting content to be posted on one's favorite social network or other self-aggrandizement. We had a case a couple of weeks ago where a couple of teenage thugs attacked a geek working on his laptop on a metrolink (think subway without the tunnels) car. three against one in a car full of people, and not one person stood up to help the victim as he was sucker punched and repeatedly struck before the thugs left the train at the next stop. Great video made it on the evening news, however.
