Isn't it disgusting how the first thing people do when a crime is in progress is grab their phones to record it
In the early hours of March 13, 1964, 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was stabbed outside the apartment building across the street from where she lived, in an apartment above a row of shops on Austin Street, in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens in New York City.[2][3][4] Two weeks after the murder, The New York Times published an article claiming that 38 witnesses saw or heard the attack, and that none of them called the police or came to her aid.[5]

In the modern age, 38 people would all be recording the crime so they could go viral and get likes on social media and not one would care enough to actually stop the crime in progress. How can someone stand by and watch a car jacking in progress, to be so calm about it that he actually explains to people on the street how it's just entertainment and they can keep watching in safety cause he already called the police. We have a big van pass by which could have been used to block the vehicle and stop the assault in progress... but no one really cares.
We see the videographer's true stripes after he runs after the crashed vehicle and ignores the dying man laying face down on the street so he could harass the guards and say how important he is since he has a video. Give me attention, I'm needy, I recorded the incident and did nothing to stop it he says.
38 eye witnesses watched from their own apartments as Kitty Genovese was murdered and did nothing. Now we have 38 people just walking on by and ignoring a dying man laying face down on the sidewalk and 38 people just walking on by and ignoring a car jacking.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
