There are instances some very very famous instances in New York history of either what was described as vigilantism or people not intervening. Kitty Genovese's murder in 1964 shocked the collective conscience of New York City and eventually the world but what do we really know about what happened to her? The urban legend around it is that this woman was murdered and she screamed and nobody came to help her. And then just a couple months later we had on another subway car a man named Frank Robert James who ended up opening fire into a crowded subway car at rush hour. He did not end up killing anyone but he did severely harm a lot of people.
