Bernhard Goetz did something. Look what happened to him.

Plenty of people have tried to do something and received injury or death for their trouble.

In another time, people and police would have done something enough times to make riding the subways safe. But that was a good 75 years or so ago.

Rule is never intervene unless you’re ready to pay an attorney lots of money!

Not my problem.

Philadelphia area voters are getting what they voted for — good and hard.

No mean tweets though.

Riding a train at 11:00 at night in Philadelphia wasn’t exactly a bright idea.

“a lot of people” around who “should have done something.”

But in “The Year of Our Lord, 2021”, should not we determine the Race, Religion, Ethnicity, Political Affiliation and Income of the victimm before “Doing Something”?

Yeah, and Patriots should be doing a lot more. Why are those Commie SOB’s who allowed that 13 year old girl to be raped still alive? If I were the father, I know precisely what I’d do. No more f***ing defendants.

He was protected class. If they intervened they would have been called out and cancelled. That and the psycho would have done who k owe what to them?
Just excuses, I know. There is no way I could have watched that and done nothing. No flipping way.

If you work late nights, you have to ride late at night, unless you have a car. I don't know whether she was working at night, but many Philadelphians do not drive.

Once I witnessed what appeared to be a gang rape (or at least an attempted one) in broad daylight in Philly. I had no cell phone back then. I ran into the subway, banged on the ticket window, and told the SEPTA ticket-taker, who picked up the phone and called police immediately.

I wonder what the demographics of the witnesses are?

And you think anyone is gonna stop a black guy doing anything?

Blacks are precious and above the law. They can do whatever they want. Any white bystanders would have been the ones in trouble. That's today's world.

“People should’ve done something.”

I thought certain attributes were indicative of white proviledge. Such as hard work and showing up on time. Does defending the weak also indicative? It is hard to tell without a power point presentation.
