We’ve all seen those awful videos where someone is being beaten, robbed, or attacked in broad daylight while the people nearby stand around filming it on their phones for clicks and engagement.
More and more people are afraid to get involved, and honestly, you can’t entirely blame them. Look at what happened to Daniel Penny when he stepped in to help. The city of New York tried to destroy his life.
Still, it says something terrible about the state of our society when good men are afraid to take that risk. Meanwhile, the victim is left suffering while strangers collect footage for social media.
But that’s not what happened here…
When a woman was stabbed outside a building in the Bronx, three men didn’t stand there filming it from a safe distance, they rushed right into the danger, took the attacker, beat him up good, tossed him to the ground, and held him there until police arrived.
And they stood guard near the gravely injured woman on the steps, making sure nobody disturbed her.
Sadly, she didn’t survive the stabbing.

Someone really should make a movie about all this.
GREAT
And all this AI crap isn’t going to save you either from these nutcases. Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the left used AI tools in a nefarious way to get even more criminals back on the streets.
Well, they sortof already did. It was called ...Death Wish.
Kitty Genovese was raped and stabbed to death in front of her apartment house in Queens New York in the 1960. It was later learned 37 people witnessed the attack. Not a single person called the police. The intervening men did well. Too bad someone’s thumb didn’t accidentally poke an eye out.
I think he was talking about the movie “Citizen Vigilante” which was more or less, a European version of Death Wish I through IV plus the Bruce Willis remake
Yup, that’s the one I was thinking of. Gee, the poor guy must have fell down.
The Kitty Genovese story was fake news created by the New York Times.
There’s lot of articles about it now, here’s one :

They could call it “Vigilante.”
About zero info on the perp, but his last name is of Latino origin....
We need more men like those who took him down and stayed with the woman to protect/comfort her as she died.
The good Samaritan guys seemed to be one white, one black, and one Hispanic. Nice to see.
Pffft. More man-shaming BS.
Kitty was attacked and raped and murdered. The NYT chose to ignore the fact that people DID contact the police about this and ignored this information because they wanted a compelling headline. (The police may have ignored the callers.)
snip..."The reverberating fallout from the Genovese case is often cited as a major catalyst for the creation of the 911 emergency call system, to allow witnesses a quicker and easier way to report crime. In 1964, a person had to wait for an operator to connect you to a local precinct or look up the direct number in the phone book."
"In this particular case, it turns out people did actually call the police. One person who called said that they were told by the precinct that “police were already aware of the situation.” But the police were not dispatched. Why? It has been speculated that, because the initial attack was perceived to be a domestic dispute, it was ignored."
'50 years ago, people were less likely to get involved in how a man disciplined his woman. That was considered to be nobody’s business."
It also points out that someone was aware of the attacker and leaned out of his window and shouted to "Leave the girl alone" which caused the killer to break off his inital attack." The NYT, like the whore it is, chose to slander New Yorkers as unconcerned scum. See the article.
What was the Kitty Genovese STORY?
Was it that she was attacked? NO.
It was that “The NYT, like the whore it is, chose to slander New Yorkers as unconcerned scum.”
