The problems that get left out of that story’s narrative IIRC was that she was inside her apartment building’s lobby. Like yes people should have responded (assuming they could actually hear her, most apartment lobbies aren’t built with acoustics in mind) but that’s way different from there actually being like 20 people in the street looking on as the Bystander Effect implies.
EDIT today I learned that the reports of witnesses and their inaction was grossly exaggerated by an unscrupulous journalist. So the following statement is almost entirely fabricated. My apologies. Comment left intact for transparency.
38 people in her neighborhood admitted to hearing her and choosing not to intervene. They all gave different reasons for not helping.
