If you're just passing by on the streets and see someone getting raped, just walk by.
This is the law we follow regarding assaults
If you're just passing by on the streets and see someone pass out, just walk by.
If you help them get up, you'll be charged with assault.
If you're just passing by on the streets and see someone getting hit, just walk by.
You'll turn out to be a criminal if you try to help.

This is Korea's law

No♬~ So the coin taxi driver murderer gets his warrant dismissed, but you have this fellow get charged? (t/n: very very brief summary, a passenger in his 30s killed his taxi driver in a quarrel
after the taxi driver threw a coin at him)
Dog-Korea has seriously lost its consciousness?
This is a country huh???

Her family who wasn't able to take care of the health of that elderly woman is more at fault than this man!!!!

By helping, you accidentally end up killing someone, the cause-effect relationship of human interactions is drawn.
By murdering someone who throws a coin at you, the cause-effect relationship of human interactions cannot be drawn.
So this is the law?
What's the use of a law that's out of rationality?
