Woman Raped In US Park As Hundreds Watched Nobody Intervened

Hours ago (Saturday, May 23) a woman in her 20’s was raped in a Washington park in front of hundreds of witnesses, and nobody stepped forward to try and stop it from happening.

Michael van Poppel, founder and editor of BreakingNews on Twitter and BNONews.com reported the incident on his Twitter page as details came in:

Wow….. a woman was raped at a Washington park and hundreds saw it but did nothing?!?

@glownz I can’t imagine someone not trying anything, out of hundreds even.. I could never just watch something like that happen

@maggieglazer Well, I could never just stand there and watch if someone like that happened…

Tried to see if anyone tweeted about the rape, since there were hundreds of people.. but I can’t find anything.

RT @nilicule: @mpoppel it’s called the Bystander Effect, http://bit.ly/JFcxh - and it’s absolutely horrible

“the greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is that any one of them will help.”

For more info on the ‘Bystander Effect’ read the info at the link highlighted above. You think you’re safer with a crowd of people around? Think again.

yes.....its sad...just for the record...i tried to help a woman being raped in a hotel room...i called the police...when they arrived she denied any thing was wrong..the police left, leaving me to deal with the two very threatening guys in the next room.i would do it again however.Zetgelzegtel......do you think all americans carry guns?......also our laws forbid carrying them in most public places.....i belive washington has a total ban on firearms. there must be more to this story than we know.....what was the event?...what were the demographics of the crowd?....where were the police?....i will tell you this much...the media can be very misleading due to the politicaly correct stance they take.....btw...we are not sheeple....good luck trying to keep your culture french bub...

Yes, and speaking of misleading..

what that simple headline will NOT tell you..

Is that three people entered that park..this lady and two guy friends..
They were observed drinkiing most of the afternoon at that location..
One of the guys left, leaving the actor and the woman.
According to witnesses, it just appeared that three homeless people were taking advantage of the park location to knock back some alcohol, and it did not appear at any time that she was being physically attacked..

(although i TOTALLY realize that doenst condone non consensual sex- Survival Fear can cuase a non resistance policy) But it WILL be brought up in court that several witnesses reported them drinking for a LONG time as appearing friends, and that no cues were present, since She and the attacker knew there were witnesses CLOSE by, and they will question her lack of a call for help....(rightly or wrongly)

But to witnesses, they had no physical or loud verbal cues
to suggest that this woman was in danger, or being raped.

So once again, we have the media planting blame on the Horrifically Insensitive public, to cast aspersion on the other park goers, when in fact, they had nothing to suggest that they SHOULD intervene.

This is called "Pandering to the Hysterical advertising Dollar" and had i not looked deeper into it, I would have bought it too.

Regardless of how it went down, that guy will likely walk...
