I never witnessed a robbery or violence where innocent people where getting hurt (likely due to my someone scary look?), but it's not because of phones. It's because people are in their routines, if you would walk the same road for 10 years and suddenly someone put a hole in the middle, you'd fall in.

Plus people are sheep, if not a single person is crazy enough to start and help someone else, then most of the time nobody will.

And after one person steps in, others will follow. One can see it (sometimes to comedic effect) in videos of robbers having the tables turned on them.

It's just getting that first person.
