Why or where were the 1000s of people who knew Jesus, why didn't they help
score:2
The Roman rule was very harsh, they had very little regard for the lives of the Jews, as is indicated by their crucifying two thieves along with Jesus.
Luke 23:33 NKJV And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
Even the Apostles were afraid as indicated by Peter's denial.
Mark 14:72 NKJV A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And when he thought about it, he wept.
Then just as today standing up for Jesus can make you a Martyr under a repressive Regime. To fear death is a basic human fear, and it is a characteristic of Christianity to lose that fear. However they did not know Jesus had power over death until he arose.
Matthew 10:28 NKJV And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Luke 24:1 through 7 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.' "
That is one of the great things about salvation in that it is victory over death. And with it comes eternal life.
John 10:28 NKJV And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
John 17:1 through 3 NKJV Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
