As far as 'snitching' goes, no. If I'm questioned by police about a crime about which I have first hand knowledge, if I'm not incriminating myself, I'm compelled to answer their questions or I'm obstructing justice.

Okay but can we be empathetic for a second and not spew the legalities all the time? You know darn well and so does everyone else, that if it were your mother, sister, aunt, daughter, etc. being abused, you would hope to God that someone would certainly not exercise their "rights" and stand there and do absolutely nothing.
