A Long Island teen was fatally stabbed at a strip mall near his high school as dozens of other students pulled out their cellphones to record the melee rather than to help him, police said.
Khaseen Morris, a 16-year-old senior at Oceanside High School, was stabbed once in the chest Monday afternoon during an apparent dispute over a girl. He later died at a hospital after many of the 50 to 70 teens who gathered nearby recorded the bloody attack and made no attempt to stop it, Nassau County police said at a news conference Tuesday.
Kids stood there and didnt help Khaseen, Detective Lt. Stephen Fitzpatrick told reporters, according to Newsday. Theyd rather video. They videoed his death instead of helping him.
Police are now looking for six to seven teens thought to have been involved in the attack after interviewing witnesses and reviewing footage posted on social media, including on Snapchat, as well as surveillance video from the nearby strip mall, Fitzpatrick said.

HE was stabbed ONCE in the chest. Not sure how they could have helped.
I was in the maternity ward after having #3 and thats all that was on the TV.......an absolute media frenzy. Now we see that type of thing all over the internet but it was rare then.
Kinda like watching a scary movie or tv show, huh?
Did these fools think these kids, after 10-12 years of conditioning, would fight against it? Would they possibly step in and help? Hell no, because they aren't getting hurt by helping. They've learned that any action will result in getting into trouble, hurt, or worse for it.
I was an athlete, and a brawler in high school. We had minorities, but no Amish.
And in four years, no deaths, no suicides, etc.

I went to Oceanside Middle School in the 1960s. I lived about 2 miles from the high school.

That doesn't make sense. Kids in High School today are required to be totally non-violent and disarmed. If a law abiding student brought a defensive weapon to school they would be immediately prosecuted. A kid who tries to stop a fight is likely to be arrested for assault since they probably could retreat from the fight safely.
It would be unreasonable to expect an unarmed, untrained student to attempt to stop an attack by multiple individuals using one or more knives. You need serious martial arts training to successfully defeat multiple adversaries with at least one having and using a knife if you are unarmed.
So in many cases students record what is happening since that at least provides evidence, and they have grown up in a world where taking pictures and posting them on social media are the actions they have been allowed to take. Nobody ever let them fight, or work to physically defeat someone using violence. So they don't even know what to do. But the criminals of course do know what to do.
Another reason people need to be able to arm themselves, since criminals always will.
They should be forever banned from even touching a cell phone of any description and should be required to take an intensive course in face to face vocal commmunication,

Looking at the videos it appears to be a white teenager who killed him.
Tyler Flach isn’t normally an African American name.
Oceanside was a beautiful town when I lived in New York. My husband graduated from there in the mid 80s. So glad we escaped!
A person died because of lame policies. Tell your reasons to the parents of the child.

They should have been calling the police but that would not have stopped this kid from losing his life. It was 7 on 1 and at least one was armed with a knife.
I would not take on those odds unarmed.

“Of course, this is SOP for New Yorkers. Kitty Genovese was a young New Yorker killed by an assailant early on the morning of March 13, 1964. Up to 38 people had heard her screams for help and did nothing, not even call the police, allowing her assailant to stab her repeatedly until she died.”

You don’t know what you are talking about.
Instead of just believing the Fake News put out by the NY Times 55 years ago, watch this and learn something

Sorry for the snark
Posted my #39 before reading your #19
Watching the film made by Kitty’s brother that I linked will give you a much better understanding of the event.
