I grew up knowing about this story, but have seem some recent coverage of it. I am NOT trying to minimize this poor woman’s death. It is a tragedy and may she rest in peace. Rather, there is some evidence that the NYT’s coverage may not have been the complete story. We live in an age where the MSM outlets have become “push” propagandists, so I am on somewhat of a hair trigger on stories that come from the NYT, for example. Again, I am NOT trying to minimize Kitty Genovese’s death. Just saying that the whole “bystanders stood by and didn’t do anything” meme that has been DRILLED into us for decades may not be the entire story.
