He was an innocent bystander.
He was an Innocent Bystander.
He was an "Innocent Bystander."
HE was an innocent bystander.
He WAS an innocent bystander.
He was an "innocent" bystander.
He was an innocent "Bystander."

Look also at the work of Leonard Cohen. ee cummings. The conventions of

rather than "Man." 
The Bicycle is a more godly thing than the bicycle. He is a more godly 
person than he.
Names are capitalized...why? 
Personally I feel everything should be capitalized and signatures should 
be lowercase. I should be lowercase and Fish should be capitalized. 
We knock the grammar deity on its head (Its Head) and keep Him pinned for 
good. 
Of course, "Grammar Police" is supposed to be capitalized, as all names 
are, but creative writing is not.
