Disgusting. If he keeps it up he may mess with the wrong person and get what he has coming. He could use a lengthy vacation at Jackson State Penitentiary. Random violence deserves to be taken very seriously.

Exactly Joey. The thing is that there is always someone bigger than you....

(Surely with the amount of CCTV in Midtown they must be able to track this guy?)

My thoughts exactly about the camera coverage in the midtown area, ATLondoner.
Probably like you, I've seen them everywhere in London & have also watched enough Brit telly/film to know how useful cameras are as a crime-solving & deterrence tool.

The guy is kinda old for that. I'm guessing the voices in his head are telling him to punch folks. But we have had a rash of assailants getting shot when acting out of order, so he is taking his chances.

I bet someone posted about that in the Chicago thread. We post about fast food joints opening here even though skyscrapers are popping up in N.Y.C.. We post what is relevant to Atlanta, what is going on elsewhere has no bearing on what is discussed here.

No one would post about one person getting punched, but someone going around attacking at random is worthy of discussion.

If its not happening in the north side of chicago or the outer suburbs outside of the south and westside where these problems are occurring, they will not seem to care if 50 people are shot up there.

I may be a liberal but, unlike some, I love hearing about the justice that hot lead can serve. I have zero empathy for the savages that think it's okay to commit random acts of violence. They would better serve the world as fertilizer.
