  [snipped]  Whole towns of people that didn't see nuthin'?  Or saw something odd, but didn't want to be called. 

  Apparently exactly what happened with the tragic and horrible recent (Monday ?) murder of a 9-year old girl in Souderton in eastern Pennsylvania - lots of screaming and thumping for 3 - 4 minutes from the basement of apartment building, but no one called the cops . . . Bang Head

I love the quotation marks around "concerned citizen".  what's the alternative?  Whole towns of people that didn't see nuthin'?  Or saw something odd, but didn't want to call?  Oh sorry that someone broke into your car and stole your camera... but I didn't want to be accused of cheering my idols.
