Thirty Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call The Police: A Shocking Story

"Thirty Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call The Police", which was written by Martin Gansberg, is an unfortunate and shocking story about a woman who was stalked from her workplace back to her home. She worked at a local bar and was the target of a man's fatal attack. She was stabbed multiple times by this stalker and was brutally murdered. During the first of his stabs, she yelled out desperately for help, but to no avail. The THIRTY-EIGHT people who lived in the same apartment building did not react and brushed it off as a simple argument between a couple.

When I read this story, I was shocked. How in the world could 38 different people not dial 911, or even check to see what was happening? Any one of those 38 people could have saved her life. She could still be walking around among us today. But no, they decided to ignore it and continue with what they were doing inside their homes. This event represents how many Americans are used to such situations and brush it off like it was nothing. Violence and crime are so common in that area that they did not even care to help out.

I believe Gansberg wrote this story to get people to take action. He wanted justice for this woman and wanted this kind of crime to end. People should be more aware of their surroundings. If you hear screams for help, go help them or call the authorities. It does not hurt to dial 911 in an emergency situation.
