Weak keep''' It seems to satisfy #NEWS and /CA, since it is not a one or two day story, and may have greater societal implications than simple crime and punishment. We do not make crystal ball forecasts of how enduring the coverage of a terrible crime will be, but I note that the coverage of this crime continues every day 2 weeks after the even, where 20 people stood by and did not notify police while a 15 year old girl was allegedly beaten and raped for a couple of hours by a number of men. The bystander apathy, more than the sheer brutality, has shocked the nation and been noted worldwide. The murder of Kitty Genovese in 1964 is also notable for bystander apathy: 20 people heard her scream for help and did not call police as she was murdered in a protracted stabbing.  is not a blanket prohibition against having articles about crimes. We follow the coverage in reliable sources like the press wire services, and do not print names which have not already been widely publicized
