As a woman was raped on a public transit train in Philadelphia last week, riders held up their cellphones and pointed them in the direction of the sexual assault instead of calling 911, authorities say.

last week, riders held up their cellphones and pointed them in the direction of the sexual assault instead of calling 911, authorities said.

"I can tell you that people were holding their phone up in the direction of this woman being attacked," SEPTA Police Chief Thomas J. Nestel III said at a news conference Monday. Nestel said that other riders were on the train at the time but that"there were very few notifications to the police." The attack wasn't reported until a SEPTA employee saw what was happening. Officials said at the news conference that officers responded within three minutes of the employee's report.

The bystanders who vidiod the rape and were cowards not to intervene should hope there wives or daughters don't go through what happened to the woman being raped and the bystanders videoing there loved ones being raped and no one helping them.

Sociopathy in the age of Trumpism.

Reaffirming conclusions made based on people from Philly

Disgraceful. Meanwhile Americans will hunt you down in the supermarket for not complying with a mask mandate. But when it comes to sexual assault people will just record and watch. Our society is deteriorating.

Life imitates a Black Mirror episode. What despair.

😡😡😡

jennifergould My goodness🙄! No one assisted😑😶🤨😔

I keep telling you

Was the alleged rapist brandishing a huge weapon or something? Make it make sense, MAN.

News: *lady got raped and people just held up their cell phones* Boomers nobody asked: “tha Libruhls!!!!!”

should be punished for not helping a person in need and for filming a rape in progress

WE are really sick are we not.

JonLemire Omg. Wtf is wrong with people.

Do better, Philly septa riders!

JonLemire Jonathan forgot to mention this. bidensamerica

No words. How do you watch that?

JonLemire People won’t wear masks to save the life of another person. Why does it surprise you that nobody helped this rape victim?

Videotaping a rape is a crime. You all are accomplishes to the rape. Someone should have done something! 911, pulled the emergency stop, or as a group stopped the crime. What the hell is wrong with you people. What? You go home and show the video ?

JonLemire If this is true, and those with cellphone videos are identified, I do hope they could be charged with something. This not human behavior to watch such an attack and not do something to help. What's wrong with us today.

JonLemire Tucker Carlson is absolutely loving this.

This real?

We carry guns in Texas, just for people like this.

They should come after any they can find and arrest them as being accessories to the crime, especially if they shared the images they took.

This is what happens when you tell black people to not call the cops.

I have no words strong enough to describe my rage.

Too bad the victim didn't have a CPL. How great would it have been to read about a dead attempted rapist

Horrible

He harassed her for 40 minutes. How many stops did they go through where he could have been stopped?

Disgusting

MbuyiseniNdlozi What the shit is this

'June 11, 2000... Many of the attacks were caught on video, and received worldwide attention. The New York City Police Department was greatly criticized for its handling of the attacks. Eventually, over fifty women reported being harassed or assaulted.'

Well go figure. Surprised we haven’t seen the video yet. Yards

People are horrible

If this would have happened in the Midwest a half dozen guys would've beat the crap out of him then took pictures.

Welcome to the Biden administration, where we're seeing a spike in crime, drug trafficking, and illegal border crossings.

Objectivism

Philly is a major 'woke' & blm city, so this behaviour is absolutely normal for them.

They should be charged

What’s wrong with people?

They ought to be arrested as accomplices

Of course...

They’d be accused of racism and blackballed from society if they intervened. Plus people are generally awful in big cities

These days folks are more concerned about their likes in tiktok than actually being decent people

Charge the riders with the rape, too. This is seriously fucked. Disturbing. Unfortunately a classic case of bystander effect where in a group of ppl everywhere assumes that someone else will call for help and so no one does. Has been around since the beginning of time.
