There are no innocent bystanders

From The Good Humor Rapist, a video put together by Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI), a branch of the American army, to explain what to do if one becomes either a witness to or a victim of street crime. The template example is the murder of Kitty Genovese, who was white, by an assailant, who was black.

in January 2013, DEOMI debuted an instructional video that has to be seen to be believed. Titled “Bystander Intervention Training,” the video introduced Americans to the nine points of “nonviolent action” that can stop a murderer or rapist cold in his tracks. Forget guns. Forget knives. Forget karate, pepper spray, or even Finnish handbags. These nine government-approved courses of action are all anyone needs (or should be allowed to use) in response to a rape or murder in progress. . . .

The video presents the nine nonviolent actions that one should take if confronted by a rapist/murderer/necrophiliac like Moseley. Here are the nine points, verbatim. No, this is not satire:

(1) Name or Acknowledge the Offense
(2) Identify the Obvious
(3) Interrupt Behavior
(4) Publicly Support the Aggrieved Person
(5) Use Body Language
(6) Carefully Use Humor
(7) Encourage Dialogue
(8) Ease Strong Feelings
(9) Call for Help

Watch the video and try to relate the advice to the Kitty Genovese murder that starts it off. The advice, as is pointed out, is as useless as the advice found in the equally idiotic video put out by the government of Finland.
