[Serious] Woman raped while onlookers did nothing

[The Architect Of Fate]

I would push more towards negligence

You cant do that. Millions of people watched two towers go down. And just on the planes alone, those four planes, only one set of passengers realized it was a suicide mission. So by this logic, the other 3 planes were aiding and abetting because they didn't confront the people that murdered them. 

I wasn't witness to this story of the OP of course. But if I am basing it on human psychology, the rape happened and nobody stopped it initially, physically, because they didn't want to get hurt themselves, or some thought it was a kinky couple. It isn't excusing the rape one bit. I think it is still lost on some readers of the thread that the rape was still ultimately reported. My guess is someone with a cell phone reported it and 911 arrested the fucker at the next stop. Is it lost on some here that the guy was arrested? 

Not getting involved the nanosecond something happens, does not make the bystanders criminals on par with the criminals.

Bystanders should all be charged with aiding and abetting.

Completely agree.

Will I think most of us agree they should be charged with something.
