Gansberg's 'Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn' T Call The Police
Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police
Thirty-eight people saw the murder of a woman and didn’t call the police. What does this say about a person's actions? In “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police” by Martin Gansberg, a woman was stalked and killed. Catherine also known as Kitty, was on her way home when she noticed a man out of nowhere. She head toward the call box to call the police, but the man grabbed her and stabbed her. Catherine cried for help, “Please help me! Please help me” (Gansberg). Her neighbors heard her and turned their lights on, but didn’t do much to help. One man even called down and said, “Let that girl alone” (Gansberg). This was a response of a neighbor after hearing a woman cry for help, and the man didn’t bother to dial 911. If someone was screaming for help, I’m sure one should do something such as calling the police or even going down to see what was going on.
Catherine had more than one attack from the attacker. After the neighbor called down the attacker left, and all the lights went off in apartments. Catherine was left alone making her way towards her apartment when the attacker came back a second time and stabbed her again. Still no one helped after hearing Catherine shriek, “I’m dying” …show more content…
The attacker drives away, but then comes back for the last time stabbing her again and causing her death. Not once did Catherine receive help from her neighbors. After Catherine died, the neighbors finally decided to come out and call the police. The neighbor’s response to the situation was pathetic. One simple phone call could’ve easily saved a woman's life. The neighbor called out multiplies times, and there was a chance of helping a woman from her death. When asked why you didn’t call the police many neighbors responded saying, “I didn’t want to get involved, we thought it was a lovers’ quarrel, I don’t know, and I was tired”
