bystand 

Short for bystander, but not as bad.

They stand by, but not by choice, it's cuz they would get pummeled if they tried to help.
They want to help but they can't.
They look out for themselves before others, though...

A: Baldrick, you're such a bystander!
B: No, He's actually only a bystand. You should see him in a fight.

bystander effect 

When witnessing a situation of an victim and 'incriminator', the degree of responsibility the witness has in helping the victim or stopping the 'crime' in progress. The degree of responsibility usually depends on three criteria; 1. Whether the victim is deserving of help, 2. The competence of the bystander, 3. The relationship between the bystander and the 'victim'. The bystander can intervene in usually two different ways; direct intervention, or, calling authorities.

I saw an old lady getting her purse taken by some thug, i just stood by and watched... later i felt confused and guilty. The feeling i felt could be described as the bystander effect
