    the Kitty Genovese story suggesting no one helps has been proven untrue. Many people actually did call the police. Her younger brother did incredible research and this resulted in a well done documentary

      After all my years in hearing that story I did not know that until this day. I first heard the story ~13 years ago in high school Psych, and it was used to discuss the bystander effect (individuals are less likely to help when there are other people around.) As tragic as the event was, I guess there's solace in the fact that there wasn't actually so many people who stood by and did nothing. I see that the documentary (The Witness) came out around 2015, I'll have to give it a watch!

    Love your channel! FYI Donald Manes last name is pronounced "Man-ess" not "Mains". I was scolded once by a New York State senator from that area by pronouncing it like you did in this video. Sharing the knowledge so you do not get rebuked by someone! Thank you for the very interesting channel. I learn a lot from you.

    Great video and content. Grew up in Queens and lived in Kew Gardens. I was hoping you would include the Alice Crimmins case. A mother who was accused of killing her 2 kids in Kew Garden Hills in 1965 after she claimed her kids went missing. They found the bodies of the children but could not tie anyone directly to the murder. She's eventually convicted a few years later and after several more years of appeals was sentenced in 1973 and eventually paroled in 1977. It became a media sensation. She is still alive and living somewhere in Florida.

    Tom as a young black man who's relatively new to New York City I love love love every single last one of your videos but you failed to mention the dark history of the bombing of Malcolm X's house in Elmhurst Queens New York City the Nation of Islam and perhaps the FBI bombed with his whole family in it either way great video

  • @ModestGamer84

    Enjoyed the video. But me being a queens native Born and raised Felt that you sold yourself short or sold queens short on this video. Either way I grew up in and around all three of those areas. That movie theater on Lefferts and Austin used to be a porno theater also it would’ve been nice if you would’ve ventured out to ozone Park where the Gambino family would hang out at The Bergin Hunt and Fish Club. Would’ve also been nice to mention that Queens has more cemeteries than anywhere else in the country. The amount of dead people buried in queens is roughly the population to the city of Chicago A whopping 5,000,000+ people buried in our borough. I would hate to be in Queens during a zombie apocalypse.
