Yep. Americans have been legislated into inaction.

I did intervene 3 times in my life so far. 2 times, I got in trouble with cops, but eventually no charges. You pay the price.

And there it is, another feral animal who was probably released out of the prison system or just ignored because of the pigment of his skin. We are on our own.

We're on are own until we divide the county. White liberal 'elites' (totalitarians) and their pet violent blacks & illegals (who prop up their power) in one country...

And conservative traditional Americans (of all races) in the other country.

Woman is lucky the bystanders didn’t join in or rob her while it was going on.

Correct procedure is to wait for a social worker

RE: consequences of getting involved....

Well done post.
Tragic that it is true.

Witnesses, even if not even trying to intervene, are often beaten or killed.

Since our America does not actually enforce the laws equally there is no incentive for risking anything. You could be sued as you say, or much worse. A privileged minority will have justice system advantages you lack.

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.

Really well said.

“ Not allowed to carry a gun or use force, what were they supposed to do?”

Kick him in the nuts as hard as you can from behind, maybe

The rapist was lucky that there were no undercover social workers there.

They were waiting for the community to act, like they will when the police forces are disbanded... wait...

This comment. They want the police banned but expect their fellow citizens to step in? Guess they're OK with an armed society now?

if they had intervened they would be denounced as “racists” because rape, among all sorts of other crimes, is just part of reparations.

I don’t know, I’m not there. Our modern society won’t allow such acts, so many laws, and I AM a law abiding citizen. I know I can’t do what I described, but I sure as hell WOULD pull the dirty SOB off of the victim and hold him for the police.

If the rapist is black I could be called a racist...

Or just you know how to spot the obvious

If the rapist was harmed during apprehension the Philadelphia women’s movement will March to have a statue erected in his honor
