That was almost 50 years ago.

But, on the plus note, I make sure to always go out and see what's going on when I hear an alarm.
I'm not a fan of the death penalty but that guy needs to go down. Crazy or not, he is a menace to society. I like the fact that he was crazy, yet still earned a B.A. in Sociology. WTF?

Well, it was an example to show that the bystander effect has been pretty prevalent for at least two and a half generations of American civilization. And was more to explain that even back then people weren't that good at looking out for other people.

As long as they can persevere through the curriculum, I've seen mentally challenged people get a college degree.

I recognized the purpose of the article; I'm just sayin...

I guess crazy people can get a degree. There are a lot of teachers who earned a degree in Education who don't seem capable of tying their own shoes.
