Kitty Genovese was raped and killed on March 27th, 1964. 38 people heard or saw parts of her attack. The police were not notified and she died when any single call to the police would almost certainly have saved her life.
This happened in a place called Kew Gardens, in New York.
Because there isn't anything on the Internet that someone won't defend, the website for Kew Gardens has a laughable
deconstruction of the rape and murder which has to be seen to believed.

Unreal. Because this BBS has a history of putting a hotlink up and seeing people from the target site visit, I'd like to take this opportunity to speak to the inevitable person(s) who drop by:
Hey PAL, I'm sorry that nobody bothering to call the cops or lift a finger to save a poor girl's life damaged property values for fifty years, but this is a new fucking low, even for the Internet. Kew Gardens ought to have been burned to the ground half a century ago for what happened here and you trying to tell us that everything we thought we knew...
was false!!! like some hack comic book writer is pathetic. 50 years later and people still aren't taking responsbility for Kitty Genovese's death. Not her actual murderer (who seriously can't believe he hasn't been paroled yet) or the people still hanging around that shithole and think that it deserves a glowing web presence.
If ONE person had bothered to call the cops she'd have had a long and -- presuming she eventually moved -- happy life. Write up as many pages as you like and put as many versions of the "facts" of this as you like, nothing changes the reality that she needed one person to call the police. Your work on that page is disgusting. I hope you live there.
