    This is a fantastic documentary. Bill Genovese is an intelligent, charismatic, highly driven and very well spoken man. James Soloman did a great job of telling the story. Lots of unseen photos, movies and period news footage. I can’t recommend it enough.

    So upsetting for the family and I feel they were ignored in this. Everybody obsessed with the psychology of people in that era but not caring and being humane to the family left behind. Delia Morris

      Small towns and suburbs are dangerous too. The entire point you should be getting from this case is that it was knowingly set up to create hysteria in American people about black people, about gays and lesbians and about cities.
      In reality, people in her neighborhood DID step up and DID help. They DID call the police. But the police just didn’t show up or dismissed them. Know why the story came to be what it was popularized as? Because the person who told the story to the NYT journalist who wrote it was… a cop.
      And actually, one of the neighbors involved in the real story was a mother and a friend of Kitty’s, who ran to her as soon as she heard she was shot, without knowing that the murderer had left, and held her while she died. She risked her life to check out on her friend, and provided comfort to her in her last moments.
      Ultimately, Kitty Genovese was one of many murder victims of history, and she deserved to have HER story told. She didn’t deserve to become a pawn in some social chess game where authorities and the cops used her to warn people away from building communities in cities, and she definitely did not deserve to be turned into a pro-cops propaganda pawn especially when cops were the ones regularly harassing people like her (she was a lesbian and as out as any lesbian could be at the time) and were the ACTUALLY ones who did nothing to help. But by and large? Her neighborhood DID help. And THEY don’t deserve to be labeled as “bystanders” either, by the way.

    I saw the the documentary and appreciated the great job James Soloman and Bill Genovese did to relive the nightmare. I didn't know about Mosley's continuing spree of crimes after his Buffalo escape but glad to know from this posting. This animal did not know when to stop. The graphic details of Kitty's death were almost too hard to bear. He should have gotten the chair.

      @@man975dogthe information is actually accurate. Everyone who was aware of what was going on did something to help, except for one guy. ONE person was actually a “bystander”. All the others tried to help, called the police or provided comfort to her. The story you know (the NYT one) was written the way it was written because it was provided to the journalist by A COP. And of course cops would blame anyone but themselves. But to be accurate, the only ones who saw something happen and did nothing to help were indeed the cops.
      The same thing happened with the Columbine shooters. People DID ask the police to look into the two perps. One couple of parents did report one of the killers for threatening their daughter of murder, and also reported homemade bombs by the soon-to-be school shooter found all around their property. And the police didn’t do shit about him. Actually they had a whole stack of reports about the two murderers in their offices, and after the Columbine shooting happened, the police just buried all of it. 17 kids that day died because cops just stood outside of the school and didn’t do shit, same as what happened at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and in the case of Jeffrey Dahmer when one of his victims escaped from him and the cops TOOK HIM BACK TO DAHMER.

      First off, that wasn’t a residential neighborhood. It wasn’t Queens, so there weren’t many people living around there to begin with. Second, there was no urban lighting at the time (it was established after this case, BECAUSE of this case). Third, 911 wasn’t a thing - if you wanted to report a crime you had to call a contact center, tell them to link you up to the police, and then hope the police would actually show up. Because at the time, cops just didn’t help people, and especially for poor and queer people, the cops represented more of a problem or just an entity that was not going to help rather than helpers. Like, one of her neighbors saw her getting stabbed, but he was gay, and he knew that if he was to call the police they would most likely harass HIM and not help, plus he was drunk. So he called another friend, and that friend was a mother who didn’t think twice before running up to help, and she was the one who held Kitty in her arms while she was dying.
      Plus, someone else DID call the police, and the cops just didn’t care and didn’t show up.
      So, actually, her neighborhood was more than alright, and the ones who didn’t intervene when they could have and SHOULD have were the cops. The “bystander effect” is not real. It’s made up, just like the Stanford University experiment, the slow cooked frog and the Stockholm Syndrome. All of those things didn’t happen, or more accurately they didn’t happen the way pop culture says they did.
      Communities are a good thing, and the whole story was used to convince people that they needed policing, not communities… even though cops don’t help more often than not, whereas your local community is much more likely to actually help you. Strangers are not as dangerous as you think they are since studies have found out that more often than not, actually, people you already know and trust are statistically much more dangerous to you than a stranger. And cities are not more dangerous than other place, at all. Big cities just get a bad rep because that’s what governments want you to see.
