Onlookers as Bystanders in the Age of Social Media: Demands for Justice against Liberals Leadership Amid Shocking Filming Practices

Rewrite the entire article by Imelda Hernandez, Madeline Brame and Happy Gregg sharing heartbreaking stories of losing loved ones and demanding justice from liberal leaders in Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago. The piece highlights a disturbing trend whereby onlookers film deaths or severe beatings instead of intervening or calling the police. It also discusses how social media has amplified this issue as clips of violent crimes are frequently uploaded online for everyone to see. This brutal reality affects far too many parents across America, who live in constant fear that their children may become victims themselves. The article goes on to share a particularly harrowing story about Birmingham mother Gail Maddox whose daughter Mahogany Jackson was held hostage and subsequently raped, tortured, and murdered by her kidnappers and killers, with the entire ordeal being recorded for public consumption online. This barbaric act of filming someone else’s injury or death for sport is condemned as a despicable crime that perpetrates further pain on families who have already suffered immeasurable loss. The authors call upon municipalities to prosecute individuals who share violent footage and recommend measures like banning the distribution of such material in compliance with relevant state laws, including those against revenge porn. They also encourage parents to instill leadership qualities into their children so that they can prevent violence when possible or intervene by calling the police immediately. The authors conclude by urging social media platforms to regulate and stop circulating recorded acts of violence through community moderation mechanisms while advocating for positive content sharing initiatives during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, which aims at healing communities affected by violent crimes.
