Chinese are POC. Even if they're not usually economically lumped in with that term

How the hell are you a mod with the type of responses you give on the board is a mystery to me.
What countries are you talking about exactly?

Where I live has nothing to do with it

I have more important things to worry about than somebody getting stabbed in Sunset Park

For all you know, both parties involved could have been criminals

One crime committed is too much? So show us where there's zero crime, because that's where some of you need to go to.

I've been to other countries and have seen crimes committed in front of my eyes too, so go ahead with that

How dare you stereotype your own, you know nothing about me

I'm of West Indian heritage too FYI

The nerve.

Word right

What countries

Every country has crime unless she's talking about some place Luxembourg, Switzerland or Liechtenstein-esque

I think that’s left up to Seventhfloor, depending on what type of experience he’s going for. If Seventh wants to experience the high crime countries he can try Venezuela or South Africa. If he wants moderate crime, try Russia or Panama. If he wants low crime, he can try Japan or Norway.

There are lots of countries to choose from for whatever crime level one wants to experience.

"crime waves" are nothing more than bunk to keep the public scared and docile like sheep

Mind you everybody is only posting about the reported crimes that they have access to hear about

What about the unreported crimes ppl don't know about

The media is pretty much giving you guys stuff to worry about, that how this whole set-up works

This stabbing does not physically affect anybody who posted in this thread, including me

Because the truth is most ppl get scared into thinking that after watching this video, now they think somebody's going to randomly stab them in the street

From video evidence, I conclude that this was a personal attack where the ppl knew each other

Feel however you want to feel, but for your own benefit, please use some logic when reading these stories.

Idk. Last year Norway made the news for having a bunch of stabbings. People getting stabbed IS normal. Is it right? No. But it's normal.

I agree. He stabbed the victim multiple times and a frenzied assault. This looks like anger and a personal vendetta. The attacker did this in public, and even started going after the other man who tried to break it up. Scary and he needs to be taken off the streets fast.
