It is the Kitty Genovese story all over again. Not being funny but the first thing that came to mind when I saw the story on the news was the old Phil Och’s song “Outside of a small circle of friends”
Look outside the window, there’s a woman being grabbed
They’ve dragged her to the bushes and now she’s being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun I’d hate to ruin the game
And I’m sure it wouldn’t interest, anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
I gotta wonder at the slowness of the cops response. And any of the neighbors who ignored the incident will answer for it one day, if not in this life then in the next.
When the call was made, it was called in as “two drunks fighting” which lowered the priority of the call. Check the link in my above post.
