bystander
onlooker , also: stander-by

All but 2 of the 10 people killed were bystanders.

I stood with a group of officials and other bystanders.

Bystanders can help them - I've got the whole road to think of.

A bystander might have thought they were talking as friends do.

In the first half of 1990, 101 bystanders were killed, the police said.

Many of the people who died were office workers or bystanders outside the government building.

Even bystanders seemed to get caught up in the party.

One critical question for the police was who shot the two bystanders.

He was one of very few bystanders who had stopped to take in the action.

Within a few days we had become bystanders, watching things happen beyond our control.

I turned to a bystander, and asked what was the charge.

Its present role of bystander was more than it could stand.

Still, as a concerned bystander, I would like to ask some questions.

At least one was a bystander, shot for no reason, officials said.

Police and bystanders, he saw, were already coming to their aid.

It seemed almost as though he was a bystander in his own mind.

The army was called in the next day and two bystanders were shot dead.

Several bystanders started to take an interest in their exchange.

"I've never been a bystander in a matter of national politics."

He turned away from the man and addressed the bystanders.

So I end up running over a whole bunch of bystanders.

Much better to remain a bystander and simply let them happen.

She'd never had to explain herself to a bystander before.

The men then turned on a bystander before getting into their car and driving away.

They knew a lot about the case just from being innocent bystanders.

One of the onlookers gave us a car number, but it was no good.

For one thing, I had onlookers, which is no help.

One figure in particular caught the attention of the onlookers.

There was a light about him that all onlookers could see.

Onlookers reported that the police stood by and did nothing.

And there was a good turn out of onlookers on the river bank.

The only real problem might come from onlookers who for now were still held back behind police lines.

Now he had nothing to do but watch the onlookers outside as they watched him.

After a minute he looked behind, and one of the onlookers came forward.

"They always fire from over there," one of the onlookers said.

Most of the onlookers move quietly to form a line.

His shot went wide, just over the head of an onlooker.

Most of the few onlookers said their primary interest was not politics.

It was like having a third person, an onlooker, in the room.

Having her home, means we're no longer just onlookers unable to do anything.

The onlooker sees most of the game, he told himself.

I see these women raped before a court of onlookers.

Also see that no onlookers are left in the immediate area outside.

But other onlookers said they had no problem with the parade.

As it came away the figure within became revealed to the onlookers.

With nothing more to entertain them, most of the onlookers went home.

Presently the press of onlookers could not be held back by police.

He said all the fights involved a couple of students each, with several onlookers.

Sometimes, he said, they go to remote areas where there are few onlookers.

And even then, they were several rows of onlookers away from the action.
