| Parable of the Good Samaritan (by Balthasar van Cortbemde) |
In the Good Samaritan parable, sins of omission were committed by all those walked on by rather than helping. A version of this unfortunately occurred on a train bound for anything but glory.
While several passengers were recently riding on the Septa (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) line, a woman was being raped before their eyes. Rather than band together to help, they simply ignored her pressing need. “The assault, recorded on the train’s surveillance cameras, went on for eight minutes.”
At the very least, one of these passengers could have called 911. By doing so, help would have arrived in time to “apprehend the suspect in the act.”
