Kicked down the stairs? Poop in the face? Now a white guy in short sleeves in 40 degree weather clocking Asian women?

What's on tomorrow's menu? Galleger will appear and chuck watermelons at passersby? All caught on camera ..
I've been lurking on the NYC forum. I enjoy reading all the threads about these violent crimes. It is fascinating to read about the city regressing backwards reversing the progress made under Rudy Guiliani and Michael Bloomberg. One concept that comes up frequently is that local NYC politicians have their hands metaphorically tied because bail reform laws are at the state level.

So I scanned and perused the entire New York state forum looking at the upstate cities and the general state forum alike. There are no recent postings about violent crime and bail reform anywhere within the state outside NYC. Based on C-D postings it seems like bail reform is not causing any issues in New York state except for NYC. I find this intriguing, no recent violent crime threads in Buffalo, Rochester Syracuse and Albany. Are upstate New Yorkers just unwilling to discuss crime or is NYC really the cultural sewer of the northeast?

So the guy is an Army vet with mental health issues…

Mental health issues seem like a recurring theme in these attacks in NYC.

I know about cities like Buffalo and Rochester. Those cities have alot more crime than they get credit for. My theory is this. Some people live in the suburbs of Buffalo and Rochester. Or, some people aren't willing to talk about it.

I also consider this. Buffalo and Rochester are not heavily populated cities. Buffalo looks like a big city, it used to have a much larger population. However, it has a much smaller population today. It went from 580,132 in 1950 to 261,310 in 2010. It stands at 278,349 today.

Also understand, NYC basically dwarfs the rest of New York state. This isn't like California where there are several 1 million+ people in several cities. NYC metro area is where the majority of New York's population lives.

Per capita, Buffalo has a higher murder rate than NYC. Buffalo doesn't get much of attention because of what state it's in, and what part of that state it's in. New York once you get into Upstate NY is a different beast.

Yeah,..I wouldn't give him the honor of calling him a Vet,..he was in for barely a year and left or got kicked for whatever reason. Even his mom had a no contact order on him.

But yes, I think most of the random attacks we've been seeing have been mentally ill and or homeless. As it's probably been for decades.

His mom also said he was wanting to learn japanese or something. If he had a gun, I wonder if he'd be like that other florida dweeb.

I notice the people snapping are those who are basically blundering through life with no direction.

They simply cannot understand that they are incarcerated more because they commit more crimes and have lower standards of living as they hold contempt for advanced education. Black culture is a fast track to poverty and lower achievement.

Based on the Woke philosophy, they likely released him and told him to keep doing what he's doing and blame it on White Supremacy.

Do you know for a fact said attacker got released? If not, this right here is the reason I said "I don't know".
