New Yorkers were up in arms Monday one day after an illegal Guatemalan immigrant allegedly burned a sleeping straphanger to death aboard a Brooklyn subway train — while bystanders did nothing.
Horrifying video footage of the incident shows at least three gawkers — one of them seen filming the shocking fatal blaze on his phone — and an NYPD cop standing outside the subway car as flames engulfed the unidentified victim after the Sunday morning attack.n Nobody came to her aid,” said Guardian Angels founder and community activist Curtis Sliwa. “There’s no doubt that people don’t want to get involved. It’s the Daniel Penny factor. It’s frozen people. They’re saying to themselves: ‘I don’t want to get jammed up like Penny.
“People should have been running over to the woman on fire. They did nothing. They said nothing,” Sliwa said, calling the reluctance of bystanders to intervene “the Daniel Penny effect.”

It’s also a norm to stand by and do nothing, unless somebody steps forward. Then everybody steps forward.

Critics who say that the removal of the second amendment will result in people nobly stepping forward to lend a hand are talking out of thin air.
Nothing new here. The Kitty Genovese mentality still reigns supreme.
Even the police walked past her, which is also scary. I am so glad I don’t live in NYC.
I find it curious that no article that I’ve read about this incident has any information regarding the victim.
“”The Kitty Genovese mentality still reigns supreme.””
THAT did come to mind....

Many of them were probably taking selfies.
Maybe all the bystanders were illegals and it’s normal to see people burning in their countries.
All the good Christians were at Sunday Mass...
Agreed. And I’m having trouble processing in my mind how she burned to death from someone throwing a lit match onto her clothes. I get that she was sleeping. Was she too drugged up to feel the pain and take her burning coat or whatever off? Unless the whole train car caught on fire and she couldn’t escape, I’m having trouble with how this happened.
So did the cops.
Fire them. Yesterday. No pension.
True. What are they hiding?
They don’t want to let anyone know it was a young whote woman going to college hoping to get a PhD in social studies. The left is out in full force with their talking heads assuming the victim was some druggie passed out. It is becoming more and more acceptable to murder successful white people.
Much like what happened to Kitty Genovese in 1964 NYC. No one came to her aid. In the last 60 years the public has learned not to get involved due to themselves being killed, injured or arrested. And God Help You if you pull a gun on the Perp in NYC!
When you live in a part of the country run by Democrats.
You know they will come after you if you try to help someone.
The cops know you will get off criminally, after they destroyed your bank account.
You won’t be in jail, but you will be broke.
SOP for Cops.
The perpetrator is a person of color. If a white person intervened, they would be arrested and prosecuted.
Unless the whole train car caught on fire and she couldn’t escape, I’m having trouble with how this happened.
Don't let the enemy control the narrative. The lie that people ignored the pleas of Kitty Genovese and the fictitious "bystander effect" was spread by the propaganda media and the police to cover up that the police screwed up and that New York City had declined so far as to be a dump. The New York Times sold a filthy lie.
