Visit Pennsylvaia

A woman was raped on the train
But no passenger would complain!
They enjoyed the assault
And could not be at fault
For girls are born to entertain!

I wasn't aware of this situation until you wrote about it and found it horrifying. Not only did they not help but some took pictures of this poor woman's rape..very disturbing story..

Another reminder of how splintered and broken the American 'community' is becoming... Here in Chicago, three schoolgirls were beaten in broad daylight two weeks ago near me in a very good neighborhood on the North Side. No one came out of their homes to help them; no one called the police, who came 30 minutes late -- and then a number of neighbors came forth as 'witnesses.' ~ You can't make this stuff up

Although the "Aloha" state, that happens in Hawai'i. At a surf meet, I photographed a young girl being suffocated face down in the sand with one girl sitting on her head and 4 other girls sitting her limbs whilst a policeman walked on by . . . . .

It was disturbing like a Roman Coliseum kind of disturbing…nearly as disturbing as a gang rape. There is a dark place in hell for those participants. I thought the same thing..they enjoyed the assault.

With several generations raised to embrace violence on TV, there is little respect for other people in American society. Aloha!

Absolutely disgusting that this woman was violently raped and despite her screams, not one passenger moved from their seat to help her. Certainly NOT a state of "brotherly love" anymore!
