A 67-year-old man was punched in the face in an unprovoked attack at a Long Island City subway station Monday.

The assailant then fled the station.

He is just misunderstood. He just wants bread. Let’s set him up with a room at the new Phipps housing projects on Barnett Ave, a 10k check, and have his record expunged. After all, thats who our progressive council members want in Sunnyside.
You can say the legit truth.
He’s black.
Racial motive perhaps?
Nah!
Good point, this was not a racial motive.
Is real.
No matter what ‘reverend’ sharpton says.
Great description of the perp’s clothes. No physical description, I wonder why.
I could tell by the photo, I didn’t need a caption. If you scroll up, it’s right there; there’s even a video! Tough concepts to grasp, give it time.
This is why BLM is a farce and everyone else is suffering. BLM and their white apologist supporters who know nothing about racism are enabling ghetto blacks to act out more than ever. They are acting out as a result of systemic racism? Yeah right! Stop the BS. Blaming hunger for them looting Louis Viton and Gucci stores was one of the best excuses ever. We need more COPS and less constraints on how they police.
“We need more COPS and less constraints on how they police.”
Yeah, they should have exercised fewer restraints on January 6 outside the Capitol.
