CBS ^ | Oct 17, 2021 | Tre'Vaughn Howard

A woman was allegedly raped on a suburban Philadelphia train last week while police said there were "a lot of people" around who "should have done something."

Police said they had arrested a man connected to the rape that allegedly happened on a SEPTA El train on Wednesday. Fishton Ngoy, 35, has been charged with rape and several other counts.

According to authorities, the incident was caught on surveillance video that showed bystanders on the train when it happened who "did nothing."

Witnesses who do not even get involved are threatened and sometimes killed.

The transit & Upper Darby police said the perp was 'known to them'. Which is police-speak for he's been arrested before. If this guy was 'known' to police then consider that he was probably also 'known' by the local riders.

Philadelphia is a Democrat, majority black city. And last time I checked you are not allowed to be armed on the train (which never stopped me).

I probably would not intervene to help a stranger getting raped, at likely cost of my freedom and most of my assets.

Tim Larkin's Six Day Rule:

Six days from now if I am sitting in jail or the morgue, was it worth it to intervene?

The Police officer that said or wrote this tripe should be FIRED and NEVER be allowed to own a Firearm again.

If a regular citizen were to intervene and beat the Crap out of this thug, the Thug would be made a Hero and the Citizen would be Facing Multiple Felony charges.

I’d arrest everyone on that train that was a witness and charge them as accessories.

It's the best existence by far. I'm of the Few Lives Matter crowd and have been for a while. Myself, my immediate family and friends and/or other warriors who I know will fight with me to the death are the only ones I really care about.

If people don't fall into one of the above categories, then I really have no use for them.

Best to get just a day job in Philadelphia.....and that’s even risky.

Remember the lady who called the police to report a suspected rape and the police officer shot HER because he claimed she "startled" him?

Remember the guy who came to a police officer's aid and got shot?

Remember the kid who tried to defend himself from three armed career criminals and is now on trial?

Yeah.

If you take public transportation, you have just agreed to
become a duck in a shooting gallery.

One day it may cost you or someone you love your/their life.

Perhaps America could use a million Kyle Rittenhouses riding shotgun on urban public transportation to keep their riders safe. He was quite efficient at handling his situation when attacked by a mob of leftist lowlife murdering scum. We need law abiding toxic masculinity that fights against thugs.

I intervened once many years ago with a pipe upside their head. Then I left. Did not ask for or seek publicity.

The woman was helped up and I left.

If everyone is known to be carrying, there will be a lot
more respect.

There will also be a few speed bumps along the way.

The overall benefit would probably be better, but you
take one look at the BLM ANTIFA thugs, and you wonder
how that works out.

"...I'm of the Few Lives Matter crowd and have been for a while.

Concur with this pragmatic approach 100%.

I have thankfully done well in life. I am truly blessed and grateful for my success.
A nasty and vile Soros-appointed DA will view me as a "windfall" and rob me of my family, my freedom, and each last dime.
Other people who are not in my FLM local chapter are on their own. Sorry, not sorry.
