And as I said, we don't know who the people on the bus. Not everyone is able to physically fight off attackers.
Do you not understand plain English? I don't know if there were other people on the bus. I merely wondered that IF there were, and IF they had been able to come to her rescue, did they simply choose not to.
I was wondering, not assuming, and not condemning - wondering. Got it???

Public sector employees have little incentive to perform their jobs well, and face no consequences fo doing their job poorly. They get paid either way.
You hear some claim the death penalty is not a deterrent, but we all know that is a lie because most murders plead out to avoid being executed. Even mass murders are willing to tell where all the bodies are buried, to get life instead of facing death.
[If nothing else it is a means of getting convictions and valuable information]
However one of the deterrents is that if on death row, such inmates are in a more secure part of the prison, and once executed, they can never escape or be let out to harm someone else.

I think it would be a greater deterrent if the DP was carried out more swiftly. DR prisoners spend decades appealing, sometimes dying of natural causes before the sentence is carried out. I've noticed that in repressive and/or totalitarian regimes, crime rates, especially for certain types of crimes, are much lower, because the state doesn't take its time with the process.
My comment should not be onstrued to mean I'm in favor of living in such a state;. Just stating some unfortunate truths.
