Why are there so many people trying to take our means of self defense? NO ONE stepped in to help this lady! This maggot would look like a piece of swiss cheese if I or someone like me who had the b*lls to step in. Everyone on that train who sat there and watched should be horse whipped!

I stay away from cities and I avoid mass transit at all costs.

It may be controversial⊠but I tell you why⊠Because of the system. People are afraid not of the current âeventâ but of aftermaths. Nobody wants to be involved in anything that doesnât apply to him/herself.
In Poland this assailant will end up on the other side of the nearest window or his âraping weaponâ will be crushedâŠ
On the other hand, in USA you are not allowed to help somebody (even saving the life) without being sued if you are not qualified for this. 
fe. can Corpsman save a life of car accident victim⊠or is he/she allowed to do basic first aid? 
So, as @Frank73 advisedâŠ
stay away from cities and I avoid mass transit at all costs

Unfortunately, no use getting involved anymore! Just be a good, sheeple witness. Hug the wife and kids, say a prayer at dinner!
Brave, strike that, new world!
Be aware, itâs only going to get worse and reach closer to home!

Not wanting to get involved for whatever reason is why gangs do what they do, criminals do what they do and bad cops do what they do.
I have a daughter and as soon as I hear of things such as this, I think ( God forbid ), but what if this was my daughter? I would want someone to stop it if they was near and able.
It is beginning to seem like only those which have do time in prison gets upset about rape.

I think this comes under the posts heading.
What do I do if Iâm having a heart attack and my hospital refuses to treat me based on vaccine status? I am stressing about this. It could be the reasons for my symptoms! What do I do after my hospital kills me? Not exactly a rhetorical question!
How to treat a possible heart attack at home?

âWTH is happening to our country?â
We were just discussing this at the clinic on Wednesday.
We concluded that the most influential change in our world is the death of objective truth. Objective truth, for millennia, has served as the landmarks, the waypoints for our lives, providing direction and certainty. âIt is bad to watch someone rape another personâ is based on the presupposition that humans have certain inalienable rights (I think Iâve heard that somewhere), and that bad guys donât.
When truth dies, all definitions of good and evil no longer make any sense because the truth that defined good and evil is no longer considered authoritative. We have become a nation of relative moralists. Whatâs good for me is OK, you just need to accept it - something along those lines.
The only path BACK is to re-embrace objective truth so we can once again be governed by laws, ethics, morality. Sadly, living in the heavily indoctrinated postmodern era, this is a very, very difficult battle.

Itâs embarrassing to live in a society where people wonât step up â not even to the point of dropping a dime. There is quite a lot of ânot my people, not my problemâ these days â but folks are plenty aware of the consequences which can arise from any level of involvement. My father commuted daily on SEPTA Main Line in 1980s.
What level of action might be sufficient to draw violence in oneâs own direction is not always clear.

First off, I couldnât just stand by and watch. Iâd at least kick the guy in the face or something.
Iâve watched people around here, when the homeless guys get in fights most of the people either freeze or run. Itâs like they are terrified. Or the all important âVideo of the dayâ. âStop the rape or video the crime on my cell phone?â, man thatâs a tough choice. Like my dad said after 911, âIâve been bucked off horses, kicked by bulls and thrown out of bars by many men, one guy with a box cutter just isnât that scary to meâ. One guy attacking a woman or anyone for that matter just doesnât intimidate me.

Most folks here carry to protect themselves & others. Youâd want someone to intervene if it was your loved one. Fear a lawsuit, really? You want something to fear⊠Fear God & be done with it. Things are only going to get worse, stand up or hide itâs called free will. Take careâŠjust me.

Never mind intervening, verbally or with force, the least one could do in this situation was to call 911.
Utter failure

I was a young, internal medicine physician, that saw a horrific accident and stopped years ago. I gave aide until EMS arrived. The police asked for witnesses. I was later deposed and informed that the Good Samaritan law does not apply to me because I have âskillâ. I had to pay for an attorney for my good deed. It went on a credit card. Relatedly, The âHeimlichâ maneuver is no longer called this any more. Professor Heimlich, who gave this to the world at no financial gain to himself, was sued thousands of times because anytime it was used he was deposed to go to court and it cost so much that there was a voluntary fund to defend him. He asked that his name no longer be associated and thus it is now called the abdominal-thrust maneuver for choking in CPR. The pendulum of morality is being pushed the wrong direction in America. We all feel it.

You can within the scope of your training and at great personal risk to yourself.
I was a submarine independent duty Corpsman: I could diagnose, treat, prescribe medications up to and including antibiotics and narcotics. There is no equivalent to me and my brothers and sisters on the outside. When I retired I would have had to gone back to school for 6 years to earn a PA degree (or 8 for MD + Specialty) to do what I had been doing for 14 years. I applied at a local EMS/Fire station and because I didnât have EMT A,B, EIOU1 I wasnât qualified to run a rig. The station chief told me flat out âYou know too much and are used to getting the job done. Therefore you are too much of a liability to hire as an EMT even if you had the initials.â
As to the original bent of this thread. It is a sad state of affairs that sooooo many people are willing to âGo along to get alongâ that we lave lost our individual rights as humans to stand up for one another. If it continues we may find ourselves unable to âstand upâ for ourselves.
Cheers,

I live in Philly. What was so bad about this was not only people did nothing, some filmed it on their cellphones. This woman is going to have trauma for the sexual assault and the trauma that no one helped her as well. The lack of humanity. People are already blaming SEPTA Police. Their response time was within 3 to 5 minutes. Police had to track the train, direction etc.

Itâs a real disaster out there being a law-abiding citizen myself if I was on the train I would definitely help her I feel like we just live in a society not willing to help each other out
