Do you mean I'm apologizing for the inaction of the 8 youth who were watching? No. I don't consider them bystanders, I consider them accomplices.
Am I apologizing for the adults who did not come charging in with baseball bats to save the day? No. I shouldn't have to. They did what they were comfortable with and the end result is that the police were involved and the perpetrator(s) will be dealt with.

... and a little girl was violently assaulted. That's my problem.
It's honestly nihilistic that a bunch of kids would stand around and let something like this happen. What's worse is that they took pictures of it, probably for their own self-amusement.
This is a serious and horrifying incident. One cannot help but reflect on the conditions that led to it.
