Val, you know what it is and just did not say it;
Do not get involved.

I watched a shop-lifter in a grocery store one day and watched people look at this guy as he went around the bakery department eating food from packages with his girlfriend then he would put the packages back. I finally cought his attention and pointed to the the manager, he just gave me a blank look, until I walked over to the manager and pointed to the thief and his girlfriend. The thief then ran over two people running out of the store. No one did anything, they saw, walked by and just turned their eyes away to keep from being or getting involved.

A sorry comentary on us as a society. People are willing to or let others eat crap rather than get involved.
Best,
Ed
