In Jewish law, one is absolutely forbidden to stand aside while someone is in peril. A failure to rescue or treat that person is tantamount to shedding their blood. One then becomes in the eyes of God as if one has murdered that person with their own hands. This is based on the biblical injunction, "You are your brother's keeper." From this, the Sages deduced that standing by while evil is being done is NOT allowed. Your blood is not redder than your fellow man's and one must not in any circumstances, abandon someone in distress.
The bystanders should be rounded up and put in jail.
