bystander effect

When witnessing a situation of an victim and 'incriminator', the degree of responsibility the witness has in helping the victim or stopping the 'crime' in progress. The degree of responsibility usually depends on three criteria; 1. Whether the victim is deserving of help, 2. The competence of the bystander, 3. The relationship between the bystander and the 'victim'. The bystander can intervene in usually two different ways; direct intervention, or, calling authorities.

innocent bystander

The act of sitting on one's hand for 20 minutes to make it go numb, and proceeding to jerk off someone else with that hand. Very similar to the "stranger".
