Dindhu Nuffin's grandfather? Or the babydaddy's daddy?

Since the state of NY didn't have the balls to execute the SOB, under the grandaddy of all RIMO's Gov Nelson Rockefeller (aka The six Billion Dollar Man), better late than never. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I read it wasn’t really true that “no one did anything.”

[ifinnegan]

Yes. Thanks.

It was a viral urban legend.

He was into NECROPHILIA

Said his fantasy was to climax at the exact moment his victim expired (from him killing her).

Winston Moseley, Who Killed Kitty Genovese, Dies in Prison at 81,.

Addition by subtraction.

“I read it wasn’t really true that “no one did anything.”

Sort of. A few people tried to call the police but NOBODY actually helped her. After the first attack Kitty Genovese was still alive and walking in the street screaming for help until Winston Mosely came back and killed her.

If they “did” something they didn’t do much and did far less than was needed

Like it or not for many people this event has and will continue to define the majority of NYC residents

I put that under the heading of: TOO Much INFO"

But not to be splitting hairs on a gross subject, but is that really necrophilia? I mean the person is alive at the beginning?

[Glad2bnuts]

How any sane person can be ALLOWED to fight against the death penalty, is an indictment against sanity in America. WE spent roughly $1.5 Million by my estimate, keeping this midget prick alive in the last 50 years.

[gaijin]

In fact two people DID call the cops and a grandmother came out and comforted her as she was dying.

[AC86UT89]

I believe it was the NY Times that began the meme that no one helped. Even 50 years ago it was all about the false narrative (aka big lie).

[ifinnegan]

“Even 50 years ago it was all about the false narrative (aka big lie)”

Excellent observation.

[dfwgator]

Today, if they did something, the folks would have been accused of racial profiling.

Somebody should have killed him in prison a long time ago...POS murderer!

In my high school government class, we watched a documentary film entitled The Detatched Americans which blamed the supposed apathy of the bystanders on, among other things, middle-class values. The film featured the song Little Boxes (1961), written by the hard-core Stalinist Malvina Reynolds, which ridicules the middle class. Afterwards, many in the class complained that the film presented Communist propaganda.

I'm a female, and started working as a Correction Officer at Auburn Prison in September 1980. I remember Winston Moseley. He was an Administrative Building Porter, which was a rather cushy job for someone who had not only murdered Kitty Genovese, but escaped from custody while serving his time at Attica. He was on an emergency medical trip for having shoved something up his butt. Somehow he escaped custody of the two officers. He ended up taking a husband and wife hostage at their home, and he repeatedly raped the wife, while the husband, who was tied up, had to watch. When he was at Auburn, I was told by other officers that the woman he raped came to see him regularly. They pointed her out to me one day while she was visiting. I believe she left money with the officers regularly to be put in his account.

One of my first posts at Auburn was giving other officers breaks, and covering their job while they were on that break. One of the posts I covered for break was called the wire gate. This was the gate all convicts had to check in with before being allowed to continue up into the Administration Building. It was when Moseley came to the gate, that I thought he looked familiar. When he showed me his ID card, I remembered where I'd seen him. It was on a TV news program on either CBS or NBC, that had aired several years before. I recalled that he was the one who had killed Kitty Genovese. The name tags we officers wore had our first initial and our last names. Moseley thought himself a ladies' man, and asked me what the initial K. stood for. I told him it was none of his business. It was only after he passed that I realized I should have busted his chops and said "Kitty." He was still at Auburn when I transferred in December of 1983, to the facility I retired from in 2003. It did my heart good to see he finally croaked. He should have been dead a long time ago like so many of other scum suckers like him.
