Night before last a woman started screaming bloody murder outside my window, begging to be let go. I could hear that she was being dragged to the parking lot. I turned a light on and the distraction was enough for her to run upstairs, but the attacker, apparently her boyfriend, followed her into her apartment and started yelling and god knows what else. By now I'd already called 9-1-1.
Yesterday we talked with our property manager and learned that while multiple neighbors called her in the morning to complain about the noise... nobody else had called for help when the woman was being hurt. They could hear it just as well as I could, and none of them thought, "I need to help her."
Serious question, guys. If you were literally five feet away from someone being attacked, possibly raped or killed, what would you do?
