NEW YORK (CNN) — Brittany Zimmerman, a 21-year-old college student who wanted to be a doctor, called 911 as she was being attacked by a stranger, police say. But the police did not come for 48 minutes. By that time, Zimmerman was dead. Her fiance found her body. Although the dispatcher claimed later to have heard nothing, the 911 tape captured screams, gasps and what sounds like a struggle, according to the court documents.
Of course it didn't have to end this way. Sarah Brady and company are however completely satisfied that it ended this way. It is always better that people like this die than they have adequate means to give themselves a chance…what could that be? I bet the 911 call audio is a doozy don't you? I bet it would surely convince other people to reconsider how they protect themselves. Sarah Brady and company also wouldn't want it released…it could be bad for business.
Is it safe to assume that give them what they want didn't work here? How about the whistle? Cell phone? Pepper spray? Unarmed combat?
Let's see this happened in Wisconsin…a state that doesn't permit concealed carry either. Nice going. Was this on campus housing? Perhaps this lady faced some type of school enforced penalty for possessing a gun, perhaps she would never have owned a gun in her life. I do bet however that in the last moments of her life, apparently captured on a non-responsive 911 call, she wished she had some other option.
Generations of people have been conditioned to put their lives and safety in the hands of people on the phone… 911 ops do a great job 99% of the time, cops do their jobs almost all the time, but even had someone been dispatched to this there is no guarantee they would have gotten there in time. The attack was already in progress. Generations of conditioned helplessness and it is only growing.
