Remembering Kitty Genovese

Baxter Lomax
    In March of 1964 a lesbian bartender was brutally attacked and murdered in the Kew Gardens section of Queens in New York. the great black migration into the Northern cities had been underway and the immediate vengeful Black on White urban  crime wave was just starting.  Kitty Genovise had just left her bartending job and was crushing back home at three thirty in the morning and a hateful, lustful black rapist of the name of  Winston Mosely followed her and raped her in full view of many witnesses who didn't intervene in her attack. This Black on White rape attack would be followed by many more in the years and decades ahead but this attack would be chronicled and put in all sorts of textbooks examining the bystander effect instead of the racial revenge aspect.
 The fiftieth anniversary of this murder passed on March of this year and a new book examines this murder and why so many witnesses didn't get involved. Kevin Cook wrote the book "Kitty Genovese" and the facts that this racial rape murder does not get the same media attention and scrutiny of Emmit Till 's murder is a travesty. Emmit Till likely would of grew up to be another sixties white woman killer like Winston Moseley whose list and hatred of White women were shared in copycat crimes like this in urban America that made many people flee to the safety of suburbia. 
   Reading this book though Mr Cook squashes the written story of thirty eight people not getting involved after seeing this rape/murder. In fact, only two white men saw this attack and cowardly did not come to the aid of their kin. These men should of actually been charged as complacent to tis attack and after this attack many municipalities did put these into written law. This was a very interesting crime and history book and one can only hope many other authors write future books on other white victims to lack sex racial murders that followed and proceeded this murder on March 10, 1964. For thirty three minutes Kitty bravely fought off this attack from this wild savage who was just in the early stages of a serial murder career decade before the term popped up in America culture. A real unsung hero was a man named Rahul Clearly intervened in a suspicious characters claim of furniture moving a week after the murder and called police to a suspected burglary. Smart police work and hunches connected the evil moron Moseley to the crime as his corsair automobile was his undoing.  All serial killers seem to fall victim to capture through the use of the machine that enables me to travel out as much in search of victims. Kitty was just a doing woman doing a tough bartending job Trying to make ends meet before she was snuffed out by this black loser. This book sows that the New York Times sensationalized the neighborhood's role in the murder and should of instead looked at outside communities that were filled with Malcom X preachers preaching hate and revenge for slavery. The crime occurred at three thirty in the morning on a cold early !arch and the fact that many people did indeed call the police show that this neighborhood and its likely older residents were often portrait end in a negative manner. Moseley would go on to escape and commit another crime and those criticisms of the Willie Horton political ad of the late eighties only need to read the short history of lack urban crime and the decaying civilization that was seen in cities with undermanned police.
