New York - Investigators say neighbors waited more than a half hour to call police after hearing a woman's screams for help as she was being stabbed to death at a New York City apartment.
Police found 21-year-old Ebony Garcia lying in a pool of blood at about 2:10 a.m Saturday. She was stabbed about a dozen times and died two hours later at a local hospital.
Witnesses say neighbors ignored the woman's screams for more than 30 minutes before someone called the police. One neighbor says she ignored the cries because she thought the victim had been drinking.
Police want to question Garcia's boyfriend. She had obtained a restraining order against him.
Does this sound incredibly familiar to anyone else?
This and that story where the man was hit by the car and people just walked by as he laid in the street make me sick.
Most people have a fucking cell phone. Is it that hard to dial 911 and say, "Some guy just got hit by a bus on 5th street, I think he needs an Ambulance."
You know, you can't expect everyone who witnesses something like that happen to stand around and wait for help. That's unnecessary and even counterproductive sometimes.
But you CAN make sure that that person has help on the way or that at least ONE person has it covered.
I don't understand the complaint here. You know how long it takes to roast a good gourmet popcorn on the stove? At least five minutes. Then you have to lug your good chair over to the window, find your binoculars, maybe a nice scotch from downstairs and a clean glass, pour that, settle in, start drinking, and focus your binoculars. All told, 25-30 minutes. So that the neighbors waited for about that long before calling is unsurprising.
Do you know what one pisses me off?
A year or two back, a woman hit a homeless man with her car
He got lodged in her windshield
She just pulled into her garage and left him there for a weekend while he slowly died from his injuries
She just kept apologizing to him
I mean at least she said sorry
But what the fuck people

30 minutes really isn't that long for this sort of thing. it'd be another thing if it was in a public place and they waited that long but she was in an apartment.

Dementia behind the wheel is a slightly different problem than this one, here, I'd think.
"Yeah, I'm trying to get some sleep and my neighbor is screaming her head off, I think she's saying 'Help!' or 'Why are you stabbing me?' but I can't be sure. My address is..."
Being chased down by someone no a horse would be a pretty frightening experience. I mean, you know you aren't going to just out run the thing, and when it catches up to you it will probably just trample your shit up.

to be fair calling someone in florida instead of 911 is immensely retarded

Silly? If you're NOT going to call 911, then I would ASSUME that you think there isn't a real problem, so why not check it out just to be sure?
Plus you might save someone.
Edit: Sure thing, Fari.

new york has a pretty major case of diffusion of responsibility, what with 11 million people and all
Its not unimaginable that I could have impeded the presumed desperado

you don't run from a horse unless you just did some serious shit
