I am outraged - no one lifted a finger to help.

Remember the fuss some 30 years ago when that woman was stabbed outside a NY apartment building and no one came to help? There were articles about how the country was falling apart -- a movie of the week -- the media telling America that we had lost our collective conscience.

Yes, it was Catherine (Kitty) Genovese...and here is a link to the story...incredibly, notice where the person is from who justifies why they didn't call the police...

I rember that song from '67 or '68 - "All's quiet on West 23rd, nobody saw and nobody heard" - the attack went on for quite awhile, yet nobody picked up a phone, much less ran out to help. Sad.
