The entire debate here is irrelevant if we are going by canon. I began this entire post by saying that Danny's actions, or lack of, do not bother me at all. It is just my opinion based on what we know. When questioned I gave several possible reasons for him not getting involved. Are these reasons correct? Idk, we don't have enough information from the show to answer this. They are certainly valid possibilities. Is Danny a jerk for not saying something? Idk because I don't know when he became aware of supernatural beings. The key word there is when. I admit that him being a jerk is a valid possibility as well it just isn't my personal feeling about it. I am also not trying to convince anyone that I'm correct or that you are wrong.

The facts are that according to canon we don't know anything more than the idea that he is aware of werewolves. Your opinion that he is a jerk for not warning people is based on your assumptions about what he knows, when he knew it, etc., but we haven't been given any more information about Danny other than as I've said, he is aware that werewolves exist. We simply do not know when he learned things and what exactly he does know.

It all reminds me of a question that Paul was asked about whether or not Derek is dead or dying and his answer fits here as well. The answer was that until S4 begins and we learn more, the characters are in limbo and so the answer cannot be given truthfully since there is nothing to support or deny it.


 * side note: You ignored the bystander effect but it is a possible reason based on what we know. The bystander effect usually coincides with a diffusion of responsibility. The bystander effect is not negated at all in the things Danny has witnessed, in fact it is more likely to occur since there were more than three people around at the time.You don't need a "large" group for this to be seen but diffusion increases with groups of three or more. Most everything Danny has witnessed has been in groups greater than that number and therefore this is more likely to occur.
