Woman raped on a train, bystanders did nothing

I've been to Trenton too at night. Had friends there that I worked with at ft Monmouth.

You asked me if I had been there.

 

I realize that, but am I the only one that is having a hard time believing that he ripped off her clothes and raped her violently and NO ONE did anything???

 

I suppose that partially explains it, but I still simply cannot believe it. NO ONE did ANYTHING!

 

Believe it.

Maybe people didn't want to get involved. They could get hurt. Maybe they thought the man might have had a gun or a knife. Maybe they didn't want to do anything that could later get them involved with the police.

Maybe a lot of those people on that train were stoned out of their minds or under the influence.
(There's a reason they weren't driving a car. For those who may not know, trains and buses are a very unpopular mode of commuting in the US. Typically people won't do it unless they have no other options)

 

Philadelphia is Democrat [period. some of this due tp BLM / ANTIFA and poor liberal policies, the stupid Judge is to blame , why are there not any consequences for this.

 

I do think you may be right. The BLM mentality of hating police and not wanting to report or try to stop a black man whom you suspect might be committing a crime may have played a factor in why they didn't want to get involved.

 

I lived in NYC. You didn't want to be caught in a subway after most everyone left for home after work.

Crime rates are much higher in big cities than in either small cities or rural areas, and this situation has been relatively pervasive for several centuries.

 

In my town he would have been beaten senseless. In many major metropolitan areas this wouldnt surprise me at all.

 

That's almost been like a trope in several movies from the 80s and 90s.

I'm thinking of one scene in Mimic where a man finds himself on the subway platform after hours and realizes there is no one else around. It's obviously implied that the situation is not safe for him.

you're being sarcastic right? ...

 

I wouldn't be able to live with myself had I done nothing ...

 

Where this happened is 100% Democratic Party controlled. The people are getting what they voted for.

 

Do the democrats control these people like puppets now? If a republican lives there, do the democrats control his mind too? What does political affiliation have to do with the act of helping a stranger? That is nonsensical.

I'm not a fan of the way cities are run, or their strict gun control laws, but I fail to see how that would stop an entire train from helping someone. That was THEIR choice. And I think it was the wrong one.

 

Democratic Party policies rule that land. They have everything to do with the crime and specifically THAT CRIME.

The guy was a criminal illegal alien. The Democratic Party policies on the illegal aliens and Sanctuary Cities is why this rapist ******* was able to attack an innocent woman.

You're welcome.

 

What does that have to do with the lack of response of the bystanders?

 

Or you could do something and end up like George Zimmerman, Gregory McMichael, Kyle Rittenhouse, Derek Chauvin...


In many of these cases the police and initial prosecutor didn't even want to press charges, but they were pressured from higher up. Politics and the media stirring up public opinion and all of that.

I totally agree with Steve N (in page 2 of this thread) that only another black man could have safely intervened.

 

It's a culture, mentality, and entire social and legal environment where it may not be legally safe to get involved.

Where you are just as likely to get blamed as you are to be hailed a hero.

 

I would never let that get in the way of helping a human being, especially one about to get raped.

 

wow, BLM and Antifa made it's way into the thread. Good job.

Don't see how that means no one would call the police or a few gang up on the perp and stop him cold.

 

Torture is ok if the circumstances are just right. But I agree with everything else here.

 

They may have influence on people actions , I for one carry when I can,

 

More people more crime, but I have been late night in NYC plenty of times riding the subway. Of course where one is, most certainly the Bronx and alone is another.

That said, out in the rural areas, one doesn't want to walk into a meth lab area, or a still, dog fighting, etc.

 

glad there was video as it sounds like she was too intoxicated to id anyone

my guess he was on drugs too

sad

 

So you would risk going to prison to save a woman from being raped?

 

My guess is she and her rapist weren't the only ones in that train on drugs.
