It's a sad world we live in that a woman yelling help would get ignored, but it's true. (I can't recall her name, but there was a much publicized murder in NYC years ago about a woman who was murdered on a street corner and people heard her cries for help and didn't want to get invovled) Think of how many times car alarms have gone off, and people just ignore them.
