Back on topic, some of these people recorded the crime on their phones.
....didn't call police but decided, "This will be great for my Instagram story"? I can't even imagine being that depraved or what these people were thinking. Fear I can understand, but I cannot even comprehend the urge to record a crime on my phone.

And I'm just under 5'6, am not particularly well built, but I've tackled a few people much larger than me in my time.
(bold mine)
I have photographic evidence to the contrary.

In my moral (as opposed to legal) view, that makes these people accessories to the crime.

You must be scary when enraged. My wife has gotten me into a couple of brawls, talking smack at dodos causing trouble. Not as bad as BSB4, but in those days I could deadlift 300+ pounds, and bench press 180+ pounds. I don't take her out to bars, anymore...
Then you’re probably familiar with my husband’s saying on the matter; perhaps you’ve said it to your wife a few times:
“You start things and then I have to finish them.”

In the context of the original post, it is still armchair quarterbacking. It is easy to say what you would want to do, vs what you actually do in the real life face to face situation.
Even in the case of the D-Day invasion, you had guys that would hide behind cliffs and rocks and do nothing, and you had others whom would shoot unarmed Germans in the back trying to flee and retreat.
It is impossible to say what an individual will do in an event of stress. You can only blame the perpetrator who started the event.

You ignore the fact that I HAVE been in that situation in real life (not rapes, but people behaving badly), so I know exactly what I would do.
I blame the rapist for raping that poor woman. I blame the bystanders for not calling for help. If you’ve got time to get out your phone and video A FUCKING RAPE, you’ve got time to punch three digits and alert the authorities. Anyone who viddied this and didn’t call the cops is scum. Scummy McScumface, each and every one of them.

I guarantee this sort of thing would never happen here......
No public transit...
I have often wondered why they don' t have some sort of law enforcement presence on transit.....

Lots of places do. They’re called ‘transit police’.

We have transit police here that ride the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) trains and patrol the waiting areas. I don't know if they also patrol buses and bus stops though.
