The fact dude didn't assume there would be cameras and stuck around to watch tells me he's dumb as fuck, mentally challenged, or just didn't give a fuck and wanted to get caught.

I don't know WHY no one did anything but watch her burn. No sense of compassion. And the guy taking a towel or t-shirt and fanning the flames. What did he think that would accomplish. No one helped the poor woman. Encouraged her to exit the train and then try and smother the flames. NO ONE. As for the perp, he is obviously suffering from schizophrenia. He was waving at someone only he could see and then made little sense talking to the camera. I see these type of dissociative states from reality all the time as a counselor. The entire situation was horrible.

Why does no one pull her out and try to smother the flames?

From what I understand the guy fanning the flaps was the perpetrator.

FWIW: There's a social psychology phenomenon called the "Bystander Effect" and it's prevalent in NY and high density populations, as well as certain cultures. Research stems from the witnessed rape and murder of Kitty Genovese in Queens, NY in 1964.

I have no explanation why the cops just strolled by apparently unfazed, other than they just didn't give a shit...

I’m confused, are we demonizing immigrants or shitting on the victim?

They generally don’t give a shit unless it’s one of their own dying.

Why the fuck was no one trying to help, shes standing there burning and people are ignoring her and or just recording it. Yea you probably cant save her but at least try, are we that shitty now?
