A woman was raped by a stranger on a commuter train in suburban Philadelphia in the presence of other riders who a police official said “should have done something." Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt of the Upper Darby Police Department said officers were called to the 69th Street terminal around 10 p.m. Wednesday after the assault on the westbound train on the Market-Frankford Line. An employee of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority who was in the vicinity as the train went past called police to report that “something wasn't right" with a woman aboard the train, Bernhardt said. SEPTA police waiting at the next stop found the woman and arrested a man. The woman was taken to a hospital. The entire episode was captured on surveillance video that showed other people on the train at the time, Bernhardt said. “There was a lot of people, in my opinion, that should have intervened; somebody should have done something," Bernhardt said. “It speaks to where we are in society; I mean, who would allow something like that to take place? So it’s troubling." Fiston Ngoy, 35, has been charged with rape, aggravated indecent assault and related counts, according to Delaware County court records. Bernhardt said he is known to both SEPTA and Upper Darby police. Court documents don't list a defense attorney, and a listed number for him couldn't be found Saturday. SEPTA issued a statement calling it a “horrendous criminal act" and urging anyone witnessing such a thing to report it to authorities. “There were other people on the train who witnessed this horrific act, and it may have been stopped sooner if a rider called 911," the authority said. https://www.aol.com/news/woman-raped-train-bystanders-did-152752303-170735009.html |

I just don't blame people anymore especially in blue counties... I know that sounds bad.

Our society is infected with cowardice and corruption. We are a very, very sick people.

Well we can say the police won't find this guy on a traffic stop in the near future.

Philly and Chicago have very different ways of handling this.

I think in Texas if somebody has "penetrated" another person forcefully, then deady force is authorized by another or even the person who is being assaulted. Good shoot.
Or at least that's the way it used to be but I think that law is still in force in Texas currently. Edit: seems reasonable to me. |

Everyone in that car except for the victim needs to be shot in the face.

First we institutionalized cowardice, now we have culturalized cowardice. A natural progression I suppose.
On the other hand wasn't there a similar story where bystanders stomped the guy after he took her shit off? Or is this the real story of the same event? |

Do Good Samaritan laws
apply to stopping a crime? In Commifornia doing the right thing will get you in trouble with the law. "The person and vehicle involved in the shooting of Rodriguez fled the scene southbound on Harbor Boulevard before police arrived. Detectives are looking for information that would lead to the identification of the person and vehicle — a silver Honda Accord — involved in the shooting of Rodriguez." https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/05/30/robbery-suspect-shot-by-drive-thru-customer-while-holding-up-restaurant-identified/ As for me. I would not be a by standard |

She was raped and murdered on her doorstep in Brooklyn, screaming her head off and the neighbors yelled out the window to keep it down. |

Yeah someone on the train should have killed the guy so they could be dragged through the legal system, lose their job at a minimum and sit in jail while the Mob outside decides if it was a good thing or not.

I’ll bet this train had mainly people of a certain demographic and the victim wasn’t one of them.

If the guy was beating her or threating her with a knife or gun, maybe I cap his ass. But the bad guy was black in a libtard city, I do not want to get involved unless I absolutely have too. |

The rapist is a illegal from the Congo and he overstayed his visa. I know what a shocker that is.
There is also supposedly a video floating around on social media showing him raping the woman, that's the most that the bystanders did was film it and share it. |

Quoted: Cowards including in GD. View Quote Scenario 1- Two black "teens" start assaulting a woman. You say something, and one pulls a knife on you. You ventilate them both. Everyone calls you a hero, and they give you a key to the city. Scenario 2- Two black "teens" start assaulting a woman. You say something, and one pulls a knife on you. You ventilate them both. You get arrested, have to get a lawyer and post bail. The city erupts in riots, and there are protests in front of your home. Your wife and kids are terrified. You pay out the ass for a lawyer, and are found not guilty at your trial. The city erupts in riots, so the feds decide to go after you for violating their civil rights... Which scenario is more realistic these days? |

A. I don't recognize this society anymore
B. For some reason I'm oddly understanding considering these places have armed the criminals and disarmed all of the good guys |

Everything's a hate crime. That man was just forcibly acquiring pussy reparations.

Until its your loved one getting railed, then its "someone should have done something" Im should sue!

In NYC they arrested and charged a man who had the gall to disarm the man attacking him and his wife on a subway with a knife. To really stick it to him without lube they charged him with illegal possession of the knife for daring to resist one of their super citizens. |
