Unfortunately, it's a result of a pack mentality. You get a small bunch of people, a fight kicks off, none of them have the balls to break it up...people start gathering around going 'oooh isn't this exciting...violence!!!' like bloodthirsty freaks, people see this crowd and wander over to see what's going on, people start getting their phones out thinking 'yay I can upload this to Facebook and get a thousand likes from people laughing at this fantastic violence!!!!1'. It's sad and pathetic. But most of us (including myself) are guilty of being one of those in the crowd just stood watching. All it'd take is for the entire crowd to just, you know, have a bit of common sense and decency and break the fight up and ask what the ****ing point of it is, but that's rarely the case.

There's something quite...morbid...about filming it though. It's like you get off on it and want other people to too. It just perpetuates it really.
