Not a commuter train.
It is the philadelphia subway.
If you ride it regularly, you will eventually die a violent death.

Isn’t the U.S. Justice Department even now intimidating and threatening people out of “doing something” about the wickedness rising up in our society?

Had anyone done anything, criminal democrat taliban cops and DAs would have arrested that person and destroyed that person’s life.

Everyone knows that fact.

“What, and get sued and/or arrested?”

What I was thinking. Of course I would have done it anyway just for fun.

It’s still worth intervening. However...

Don’t use enough force, and the perp breaks free and knifes you.
Use too much force, and you’ve got a cell next to the peep in the county jail.

Good luck picking just the right amount.

“There was a lot of people, in my opinion, that should have intervened; somebody should have done something,” Bernhardt said.
***Police kinda have their heads up their rear end. When someone steps forward and citizen-arrests people who are committing crimes, they much more often say “don’t do our jobs, that’s bein’ a vigilante”.

*** Philly Metro Ping ***
>>The rape was called in to 911 at 56th St. and your cops were stationed at 69th St. waiting for the train to arrive cause there are no cops between there and 15th. That is 13 city Blocks and 5 more stops being RAPED. What would you have done if it was your daughter? DISGRACEFUL!<<
There over 27,000 cameras on the SEPTA rail system.

“he may have been homeless” like that excuses his behavior.

_________________________________

I know your comment is sarcasm, but unfortunately there are far too many idiots on the left that believe exactly that. However, homeless and impoverished people should be held accountable for their actions. If they are mentally ill and unable to control themselves or recognize the difference between right and wrong, they need to be institutionalized.

I have a friend that spent 2 years being homeless due to circumstances beyond his control. During that time and despite sleeping on the streets, he was clean, well groomed, well mannered, law abiding and maintained his respect for himself and others. He finally got on his feet due to that mentality.

My favorite quote from him is: “Homelessness is no excuse for anyone to become human-less (less human).”

New York City is very active in the attempted raping/raping on subway trains by young black men too.

... who would allow something like that to take place?

I can think of a couple of demographics.

PA is a "shall issue" state.

This wouldn't have happened on my end of the state.

I stay as far from Filthadelphia as possible.

somebody should have done something,

Other ferals weren’t going to do anything (the victim can be thankful that others didn’t join in), and non-ferals weren’t going to do anything, because they’d probably be charged with a “hate crime” for “oppressing” the feral.

The usual suspect:

https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2021/10/16/woman-raped-on-el-train-in-upper-darby-while-others-stood-around-and-did-nothing-police-say/

Odds are the usual victim was a white woman.

Odds are the bystanders who refused to help her were black.

We live in interesting times.

Good to know.
I was under the impression that Philly was as bad as Chicago for carry.
