Autistic Woman Raped By Teen In Broad Daylight – No One Helps
http://www.dreamindemon.com/2010/01/22/autistic-woman-raped-by-teen-in-broad-daylight-no-one-helps

TOLEDO, Ohio – People frequently claim that we are losing our humanity, and generally I would disagree, but stories like this one make me throw up my hands in defeat. An unnamed 26 year old woman was walking down the street in broad daylight when she was attacked by 15 year old Anferney Fontenet. Anferney pulled a pair of scissors on the woman and threatened to cut her if she screamed- then proceeded to rape her in public. Cars (Cars reviews) drove by, beeping their horns, and apparently a few motorists called 911 – but not a single driver nor citizen walking on that street even stopped as the woman was sexually assaulted. Anferney stole the woman’s cell phone as he fled the scene of the crime. Police have said that perhaps people didn’t realize they were witnessing a rape, that perhaps they thought it was consensual- but perhaps at least ONE person could have stopped to make sure! “I’m ticked off because people were doing nothing. Just driving by. What kind of humans are we becoming?”, the victim said to a local newspaper.

What kind of humans indeed- as the victim dragged herself from the ground, she even asked a passing pedestrian to use his cell phone to call for help, who kept on walking. To top this horrific story off, the victim is a resident of an Ohio group home, as she is diagnosed with bipolar disorder and Asperger’s syndrome. The police were able to catch Anferney at his house, were he confessed to and was arrested for rape and robbery. Anferney may be the perpetrator of this crime, but every single person who drove or walked by and did nothing as a woman was raped right in front of them is guilty as well!


There are no words... :cry: What the fuck is wrong with people? :grr:

2. I can't take this shit anymore...
We talked about a 30 year old disabled woman who was tortured and killed in Western Pennsylvania last week.
Now I got this to comprehend...

A 15 year old and with a pair of fucking scissors.
I'm backing off, because I'm too confused to formulate a response to this.
This is over my fucking head and I'm at a loss for an explanation.
That doesn't happen often, usually I have an answer for everything.

I got nothing.

6. in answer to your question......
let's make a list, and it will be a long one...I am really sick of the "me first" mentality exhibited constantly by the motoring public. Look out, it's everyone for themselves, and if you are a pedestrian, forget it...the idea that you have the right-of-way is a thing of the past.

7. When I am on a bike or walking, I always give right of way to the car.
A) the're much bigger than I am.
B) I can stop and pause much easier than they can.
C) It's polite and I'm often in no hurry.

8. Thankfully, he
stole PROPERTY! Now he'll go to jail. Raping a woman...only 6% see a jail cell. Crimes against property....that's a different story.

The longer I live the more I love animals and distrust people. I don't know if Anferney qualifies as a person....maybe a 'creature' of some sort.

I wish I hadn't seen this post.

9. Because sex and violence are linked........
And women of all kinds, especially disabled women, are considered expendable.

10. 45.000 Americans DIE every year from lack access to of Health Care...
...while Democrats & Republicans dither endlessly in Kabuki Theater over Health "Insurance" reform.

Centrist Democrats and Republicans both AGREE that Health Insurance Corporations have a RIGHT to PROFITS. The only question separating them is HOW much PROFIT will be MANDATED to the For Profit Health Insurance Corporations.

When One Person is raped or killed, it is an outrage.
When 45,000 die every year....

11. "did nothing" = a bit of selective reporting....
Edited on Sun Feb-28-10 04:06 PM by Hannah Bell
"None of those who witnessed the sexual assault on Royalton Road stopped as they drove past,

but their 911 calls and descriptions of the assailant ultimately led police to the Start High School freshman, Sergeant Harris said."



In whose interest is it when the media reports this "did nothing"?

12. I would call 911 but I would be afraid to get involved
if the person has a weapon I would be too afraid to really do anything but callt he police.

16. Most...
Most people tend to stand on by whilst stuff like this happens because they don't want to get hurt themselves or get involved. Shame really...many crimes could be prevented by people getting some guts.
