Train riders held up phones as woman was raped, police say

I know filming helps in court, it got Chauvin convicted for murdering George Floyd.
I’ve filmed police stopping POC. Because, see above, and the police note they are being recorded.

What responsibility do random people have in public violence?
What is a good direction when you see someone assaulting another?

Bystanders recorded Floyd without intervention cuz cops kill people. Understandable.

To sit in a subway car filming a woman being harassed, escalating to a rape and doing fuck all? Fuck them. Absolute fucking trash without redemption. *does not rage babble about rape culture #!@#?!!*

Modern world: Kitty Genovese goes viral. #protect women #gimmeclout.

Guarantee if I was there I'd have stopped it. Likely violently. I've done it before. More than once. I know myself well enough to know, I'd do it again.

People tell me I'm stupid for that. I think they're stupid for not being willing to potentially get hurt to stop someone else from being hurt when it's literally already happening. Well, not stupid. I get it. But don't tell me not to do something. If I get hurt, I'm ok with it. What I'm not ok with? Sitting there watching someone get assaulted.

I'm sorry I know I'm not a woman and I shouldn't be replying in here but this is absolutely disgusting

It's because of incidents like this no woman feels safe anymore, it's horrible as to think all it would have taken is one person to stop this but nobody did

I hope they catch the scum who raped that poor innocent woman but I also hope they catch and charge everyone else who did nothing to help her

They're all just as guilty as that monster

I have never allowed a defenseless person or animall to be abused. Your Damn right I would have done something. And I probably would have made sure that the assailent would never ever be able to hurt any one again in the process. How could anyone standing by let this happen. Next time it could happen to someone they know.

I have always been the type to intervene, especially when a lady or a child was in trouble.
I believe that everyone who used their phone to film the assault instead of calling the authorities should be charged as accomplices.

I agree that this incident is disgusting. But I think the problem here is people aren't necessarily afraid of getting hurt...they're afraid of being sued financially for getting involved. Serious..I've seen it happen. Someone tries to do the right thing and the good Samaritan gets hemmed up along with the perp. It is indeed a screwed up situation.

Fucking disgusting! Put down the phone and go beat the fucking piss out of the attacker! If your a 90lb old lady then yeah maybe stand back but any men there who did not react should be fucking ashamed!

Sue me, hurt me, I'm cool with it.. not cool with allowing someone to be sexually assaulted in my presence. I'd rather put a campfire out with my face than not do something if someone was being raped right in front of me.

Not necessarily a popular sentiment, but I conceal carry and would have absolutely no problem using arms against such an animal.
Hi

Sorry to ask but you reply made me curious

I'm not American and have no idea of American gun laws but would you be able to shoot him ( to get him to stop raping her) and not be charged with any criminal offence yourself?

Self preservation takes over.

it’s a sad world
Sorry but this is bullocks

When you're walking by yourself in a dark alley way and you see someone being robbed by multiple people who are armed and dangerous

I could see the whole save yourself self preservation shit but when you're on a train with lots of people around who are witnessing this awful disgusting act happen then no it's not about self preservation they're just as disgusting as he is

Instead of getting out their phones and recording it so they can get off of on it later why couldn't someone grow some balls, stand up and help that poor innocent woman

There was a whole train full of people FFS

They did. He’s awaiting bail, maybe out by now.
Let’s hope the video gets him max time in jail.

Why men? Aren’t all people able to at least speak up?

I am American and the differences in law baffle me. Each state and even some cities can have different laws.
There is a stand your ground law, which is self defense.
There’s the Castle doctrine, which allows defense of your home.
Flip side, we have Good Samaritan laws that protect those who render aid from lawsuits. Limited law, and that’s the flaw in them.
I am unaware of laws that allow a private person, not police/security, to kill in a public situation.

The way I see it, if someone like me who is generally physically smaller than a potential attacker is willing to risk my own safety to intervene those who are much bigger and more capable of actually physically stopping a grown man from harming another person should do more than record the shit.
