yeah, there's literally so many barriers to getting involved at any time. My father in law is a retired firefighter and he has always helped in situations that call for it. He's cited good samaritan laws as a reason he hasn't been worried in the past. He's had two friends (while off the job) face lawsuits for intervening when a person was in peril and he now says it's not worth the risk.
It's a real shame that we are becoming a country who either doesn't care about others (in their own social media bubble) or are afraid to care (ie, lawsuits). I'm not sure what can be done to change this at this point, but I don't think it's good for us long term.
