Steinway and Ditmars has many homeless, racists and mentally ill people walking around. It why i moved.
I’ll head butt you, too.
Sorry, pictures speak a thousand words.
So you believe the victim is to blame?
You are telling me that this dude stayed behind after the headbutt for a photo-op???
Its so sad what Queens has turned into and most by standers do not care. Its so unsafe. https://nypost.com/2022/07/17/nyc-anti-white-crime-victim-said-perp-accused-her-of-being-trump-fan/
There’s nothing in it for us. Not talking money sense but protection sense. There’s no protection for the regular dogooders out there.
He used his head as a weapon, what happened I’d he also had a knife on him or a gun???
See something say something? No. See something get the hell out of Dodge.
now you will be able to easily get a concealed carry permit thanks to the US constitution being enforced properly…problem solved!
Guns kill people. Remove the gun and replace it with a banana. That banana can’t kill anyone.
Many East Asians have moved to Astoria and LIC to get away from being living in fear and live with a certain demographic. People just stand around and do nothing. If a white man was attacking the Asian the typical Astorian transplant would get involved and hold a vigil. Any comment from Caban, AOC, Giannaris?
Racist much?
That is, if you are a citizen.
This guy looks Asian
Many people have absolutely no idea what they are. He looks pacific Island-y to me.
Wow, woke much?
Asia goes from west of Hawaii to Egypt!!!
May be latino.
Let’s hear the people that blame everything on the perpetrator’s race explain this one away. Was this just ANOTHER lone wolf?
Sorry, no hate crime for when you ask for it.
Sorry, no hate crime for when you ask for it.
But recording someone that close is NOT without provocation!!!! That’s provocation right there.
You telling me he stayed around after the attack for photo ops??? Nope. Fail.
Maybe the guy was just a WWE fan!
Some very close up. Perhaps that’s why he headbutted the “victim “. You can’t get that close to someone who has some beef with you and expect for him, her or them to leave your person alone. You get what you have coming to you.
Another lunatic that shouldn’t be on the streets but is.
And I’ll head butt you, too.
We need less citizens like you.
I don’t think so!! How ignorant are you who think only citizens should have access to the internet????
Bet the perp is here illegally
Did you vote for the president that completely failed to pass immigration reform with control of both houses?
You lost the ability to play the “blame the illegalz!” card after that, sorry.
You mean the guy that gave us the most secure border in modern history and implemented the remain in mexico policy??
Taxpayers paid a LOT of money for stacks of steel beams that are stacked in Arizona. Other than that no wall was built, and Mexico didn’t pay for it.
Aka “most secure border in modern history” ? Trump couldn’t even defend the Capitol…
Oh my! Another white supremacist on the loose!
