If there are any Congressional people reading this will you please talk to your comrades about creating a law that makes people who video rapes and other criminal acts instead of calling 911 or intervening, culpable of a criminal act in some way?
I just read about this tonight and I am PO'd!
What in hell has happened to people? I am old, arthritic but I can guarantee you, I would have jumped on the POS who attacked the woman and pounded him with my purse! (And it is heavy!)
"The rape of a woman aboard a Philadelphia subway witnessed by as many as 10 passengers, some of whom appeared to film the attack, could have been stopped quickly if one had called 911, US police say.
The woman was raped shortly after 9 pm on 13 October on a train run by Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), which provides public transportation in Philadelphia, SEPTA Transit Police Chief Thomas Nestel III said." You can read the rest of the article here:
Reminds me of the final episode of Seinfeld where they were all charged with violating the good Samaritan law after standing by videoing a robbery and poking fun at the victim.
Also reminds me of The Accused with Jodie Foster. I think they ended up also charging bystanders but they were egging it on.
It's possible the incident happened in a tunnel, I know when I used to ride DC subway pretty much anything underground was zero signal.
