Rapist takes advantage of passengers' apathy (JP)

last SG · 2007-05-23T21:35:15+00:00

I can criticise them with a clear conscience because I have given up my seat to those who needed it more, and prompted other people to do so if I was standin...

Slipshade SG

Which guy? The rapist? The real problem isn't the rapist, but the passengers who saw, heard, knew what's going on but yet did nothing.

da-cheese-freakk SG

I agree. Tsktsk. But in reality, would you have behaved differently? Those passengers were probably just as terrified as the women ..

WiNtEr'SkiLL SG

the man was indeed bold! Singaporeans wont have the guts to do anything liddat..

Slipshade SG

I think I might ignore... but I might also call the cops. Very hard to tell what you will actually do until it really happens, you know. Sad

He shall die.

yeah. we shouldnt judge the passengers at this point in time. after all, we werent there, were we? maybe they misunderstood the situation? maybe they were terrified? what if they have families? I know this sounds harsh, but that women was a stranger to them. would you risk your life for a stranger? especially if you have kids at home waiting for you?
I'm not saying that they werent wrong in ignoring the rapist and the victim. it was cruel of them. Perhaps even cowardly or selfish. but what authority do we have to judge them and say that all Japanese people are horrible and only care about themselves?

would you call the cops if the man was glaring at you? especially if you're a woman -- would you? wouldnt you be worried that he'd ignore the first lady and come after you instead?
perhaps, when he dragged the victim off to the bathroom, someone could have called the cops...
but what if they didnt have their cellphone with them?
what if they were petrified with fear?

rawr. there are millions of reasons why the passengers could have chosen not to do anything about it. I'm not exactly proud of them for not doing anything, but ... never judge a man before you walk two moons in his moccassins. [dunno if I spelt that correctly..]

eeks. what's done is done. okay, I know, I wouldnt be saying that if I was the victim. but the thing is, I'm NOT the victim. right now, we shouldnt be focusing on other's faults. we should be focusing on how to prevent such matters from occuring in singapore... and from re-occuring again in the world... =\

Only one reason. Cowards. Seriously, how can 40 people be scared of a 160cm skinny kid?

MichelleTan SG

It is depressing to know such news. Like just now the 7pm drama, the guy raped the girl , yet the guy can pretend nothing happened, still smiling away trying to touch the company's secretary some more.

Sometimes, I feel angry when I read about those rapists or molester's self defense words saying it is just an urge or being seduced by the girl or something.

How I wish I can cut off the rod of those perverts and feed the dogs outside my block.

Kenashi SG

ya rite Laughing
i always wonder what ppl will say when they r the victim
as long as they r not the victim, they can say until the cow fly over the moon
there r three kinds of ppl in this world, those who talk the talk, those who walk the walk n those who sit on the fence waiting for the show!

mr_sotong SG

n assumption of responsibility..

o0Nite0o SG

agreed. I would break every single bone in his body.

Slipshade SG

1) The man was seen by everyone to be groping the woman's private parts. His intention was CLEAR.
2) The woman was dragged into a bathroom (?) for a full thirty minutes.
3) During the 30 minutes, the woman was SCREAMING.
4) The man wasn't there to threaten them anymore.

All the above four points just blow your post all apart. The cellphone reason is quite ridiculous btw.

You are wrong on the judgement part too. You are basically comparing a BEFORE and AFTER scenario in this case. Let me explain.

A hypothesis scenario such as this case was put to me, and I replied: No, I won't help.

To judge me at that point, is a true pre-judgement.

However, if I really did nothing when something like that happens, then it is not a pre-judgement at all. Because what I did, or rather, what I did not do, was really really, really bad. Take note that no matter what reasonings you have, to do nothing in such cases, is BAD. There is no excuse.

Fine if you are intimidated by the man's glare and threat. But there's point number 2 to 4! The guy can't see you, can't threaten you... what's there to be scared of anymore? If you are the only one who dared to call the cops while the others are keeping quiet, most likely those others will not give your identity away to the rapist. They did not stop him or go forward as witnesses afterall, so why would they stop you or tell the rapist you are the one who reported him?

Your post sounds very much like you are sticking up to those people who ignored what happened and that is very hard for me to accept.

Power MAN! this rapist. He's the man!

Bet Singgies guys dun even hv half his guts! Laughing

Kuali Baba SG

You get arseholes who play the spectator to fights (as reported in the papers) and some more who proudly claim they would (as seen in these forums). Let's not forget the sickos here who strip the women they see inside their heads. Rolling Eyes

This is really a sad case. I would definitely do something about it if it happens. I swear that if one steps up first, the rest would follow suit.
