How can this even happen...

In America... Where a woman is sexually assaulted and ra*ped on a Philadelphia commuter train.

The suspect harassed her for 40 minutes while people not only watched, but held up their phones 2 record the assault. No one intervened.

The suspect continues his harassment, which leads 2 groping and the eventual ra*e of her... Again, no one attempts 2 help her, their only concerns recording the assault.

The victim is fortunate a transit employee reported "something" wasn't right. As he called 911. Police arrived within 3 minutes. Where the suspect was detained and the woman was rescued.

Is this really where our vanilla society is at? A practical "mob" mentality, with no one willing 2 stop this assault. How do they look at themselves in the mirror? This is something pac expects to hear about in a third world country.

The transit system said there are 28,000 cameras on it's system. So... these watchers, who chose not 2 help, were likely being watched.

The victim is working with police. She did not know the suspect. He is still in jail on charges of ra*e, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, and more. Hopefully he will be there a long, long, time!

Wow I cannot fathom watching this unfold. Our society is so focused on capturing moments that we cannot stand up for someone who needs help. Even if your truly scared call 911 or transit authorities.


pac369 replies on 10/19/2021 7:33 am:
Absolutely Grey...
What a great point.. Capturing moments..

And yeah.. no one even willing to call for help.

So sad is what it is...

Well said pac.

In a country with more guns than people, with rampant knife crime and with someone obviously totally out of his head I can understand reluctance to get involved. What I cannot understand is videoing the whole experience. Most Western societies seem to be going downhill Over here you would probably get arrested for assault if you fought with the guy. Sad times.

Not quite sure it is Biden's fault. What an idiotic thing to say.


pac369 replies on 10/19/2021 8:20 am:
I hear everything you are saying rope..

It is sad times indeed... Where videotaping a crime is more important than helping a victim...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts..

Yeah, people nowadays are more interested in recording a criminal event, rather than trying to intervene. Of course, one's own safety should be paramount, but for so many people not to try and help, it's just sickening. A few years ago, a guy on the Metro system got stabbed to death, and even though people were around who could have done something about, no one stepped forward to help.

Makes me wonder if the passengers on flight 93 had decided to just record the hijacking of their plane, rather than to try and take control of the plane.

It’s all fun and games until.. it happens to you or someone you love! Then they would be screaming to the press how no one helped there loved one…

Empathy has died, unfortunately, and the basic human instinct to help each other has faded away. It happens everywhere, Pac. The world we are living in is turning into a scary place where we are each other's biggest enemies. Not to mention that "capturing moments" lifestyle, as Greybrow well noticed. Sad reality.


pac369 replies on 10/19/2021 8:48 am:
It really has Ex..
I imagine that woman being scared and looking and asking for help.. and nothing from her fellow passengers...

To just record this.. is also hard to comprehend..

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ex..

This is a direct result from the castration of males in this society. Men are afraid to be men and also have no idea what a man is required to do in regard to protecting women and those who cannot protect themselves. Not getting involved is not an option. This is woke at its most dangerous and having lived in Philadelphia years ago, this never would have happened back then. Now we are castrating our military too with feel good shit. So pathetic. No veteran would have put up with this for 30 seconds.


pac369 replies on 10/19/2021 12:20 pm:
Your right Paul.
Not getting involved should have not been a option. It should have just happened. When a male harasses a woman for 40 minutes he’s testing the waters. Trying to see what’s going to happen. He saw opportunity and took advantage of it.

Just bullshit every step of the way…

Thanks for your thoughts!

That is truely terrible pac.
Even if you are too scared to intervene yourself you should at least call
the police. The only reason to continue filming should be to provide
evidence at his trial, but call the police first & foremost. Although you'd
hope someone would make a more active intervention.


pac369 replies on 10/19/2021 4:32 pm:
It really is terrible Dave..
And no one did a damn thing… Talk about a lack of empathy! I hope everyone is identified by camera and charged. Real live pieces of shit!

It is bad in society nowadays that people do not always intervene - the perp could be weaponised in some way, and you just don't know what you could be getting in to.

As for filming it , that is just a new low in humanity when recording for FB is more important than trying to dissuade the dirty bastard ....... sure it is good evidence for the police, but the CCTV is installed for that very reason.

pac369 replies on 10/20/2021 7:57 am:
Could not agree more davina...
I get people could be scared.. But backing away, and calling 911 is anonymous...

Still hard to wrap my head around no one doing anything though..

Thanks for your comments..
