A woman was raped on a Pennsylvania Septa train for six minutes while other passengers did nothing. Well, some pointed their phones at the scene, evidently recording it.
The attack did not stop till an off-duty Septa worker saw what was happening and immediately called 911, and police arrived 3 minutes later.
The man sat next to her and tried to put the moves on her, and grope her, and all those things women love on a subway, while she pushed him away. The rapist says it was totes consensual.
Is it time for laws requiring intervention when witnessing a violent crime? We are talking about a simple 911 dial, which might have saved this woman.

ETA: just to get this out of the way, don't bother noting that I totally missed the opportunity to title this Raping While Black.i hope to keep this on the subject of social responsibility in the age of effortless assistance, if only to call 911, and possibly the Bystander Effect in the wild.
