When I lived in another country the homeless would sing and beg for money but I don't recall any stabbing people to death or ambushing them off subway platforms to kill them.

Maybe we should stop making excuses for these rat parasites

I always view things in this way that all the killers are mentally ill because if they were not mentally ill then they wont kill people. Its sad that they always can get rid of the charges because they are mentally ill or pretend to be mentally ill.

This has been happening to Black women at rates Asian victims can't compare to. It wasn't cared about then and it won't be cared about now just because the victim is Asian. It has to affect a certain demographic in order for a real solution to be sought (those who are higher in the social hierarchy).

Mentally ill doesn't mean violent, most mentally ill individuals aren't violent. There are contributing factors that are often ignored and/or excused.

As a Black woman, it's infuriating how these savages are allowed to roam freely to prey on the innocent OVER and OVER again and more upsetting that I don't hear more people within minority communities who express the same injustices especially when their communities are riddled with them.

Poor woman is identified in an updated article. She had a solid career and was full of potential.

On another note, these kinds of attacks have been happening a lot where people get killed in their buildings. Please be aware of your surroundings! One woman in the Bronx was able to evade her attacker!

To take even the slightest stance of being tough on crime and anti-thug will just brand you a racist or uncle tom. The words Law and order are now viewed as dogwhistles for white supremacy by design.

Absolutely! When I see women walking late at night with headphones in and/or glued to their phones. I can only wish they've made it home safely. It's unfortunate how unaware some tend to be - not expecting anything to happen to them.

Hence the username - I've been called that quite a few times, lol.

Such absurdity.

It happened to me on a bus when I had headphones and someone sat next to me and literally put their hands in my pocket to remove my cellphone. It was my moment of unawareness because of my listening to music, but thankfully other riders in the bus slapped the crap out of them and I got my phone back lol

Eh, comparison is not quite accurate. Asian men aren't following Black women into buildings and murdering them in the Bronx or Harlem (or really anywhere). This happened in Chinatown which means the perp picked his target on purpose.

If you are referring to Black on Black violence that is a different issue and one that needs to be addressed by the Black community. You know why the media doesn't care to mention it? B/c anytime someone of a different race tries to talk about it they are labeled a racist. And if a Black person tries to talk about it they are called an Oreo or an Uncle Tom. The only solution is for Black activists to push through this negativity and ignore the inbuilt pressure.
