John Rote, TALE OF THE SUBWAY 'SAVIOR'

Donation protected
John Rote, age 43 – kind hearted son, nephew, cousin, friend, coworker, and gainfully employed with the same company for the last 17 years came to the aid of a woman in distress in the NY Subway Tuesday night. She was apparently being attacked by a mugger who has had a history of arrests. John was arrested after trying to come to the aid of the young woman.

He was unnecessarily detained/jailed from Wednesday, November 8th until Friday morning the 10th for being a good Samaritan. John has no criminal history and no mental health issues. John was being an upstanding citizen trying to do the “right thing.”



Any donation toward his legal fees would be greatly appreciated. Prayers and words of encouragement will be valued and are needed as well.
