DailyKenn.com — A nondescript group of "males" went on a 12-minute-long slashing spree in the New York City's subway.
The city's far-left mayor seemed to believe excessive violence would decrease upon lifting coronavirus restrictions.
New York City recent assigned a group on unarmed volunteers to patrol the city's subways, according to nypost.com.
At least four individuals were attacked. The victims were profiled by age and gender, but not race. The suspects were described by gender. One victim noted an attacker sported dreadlocks.
It is not known if the same group committed all the reported offenses.
Take aways...
• Evidentially, banning guns will not end urban violence.
• Such savagery has been seeming innate to the city's subways, with the 1984 Bernhard Goetz incident being significant. Geotz defended himself with a handgun.
• Mass transit in nations such as Belarus, Poland, Romania and Iceland are extremely safe compared to those in most American urban areas. What is the difference? Mass transit is relatively safe in Hawaii, the country's most racially diverse state. What is the difference? New York City's mass transit was safe prior to 100 years ago. What changed?
Either no one knows the answer or no one is willing to admit the obvious.
• Those of us who lived in crime-ridden American urban areas understand the source of the violence.
• The Green New Deal advocates the expansion of mass transit [source].
• U.S. Sec. of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg advocates the expansion of mass transit [source].
• When domestic terrorism statistics are accumulated, I wonder if they include the ubiquitous terror of everyday urban savagery.
The first of Friday’s incidents was reported around 4:25 a.m., when a 44-year-old man riding a southbound No. 4 train was approached by two men, one of whom slashed him in the face, police said. The victim got off the subway at Manhattan’s Union Square Station.
But his attackers are believed to have stayed on board and carried out their next attack only minutes later, at approximately 4:34 a.m., when the two suspects allegedly approached a 40-year-old man and also slashed him in his face, police said. They then moved on to a second man – the third victim of the morning – whom they purportedly punched in the face, police said.
Both men exited the train in the area of Astor Place, according to police – an area known to be busy and full of college students.
The suspects then allegedly moved on to another 44-year-old man, who, around 4:37 a.m., was slashed in the back of the head, cops said. The victim described his attackers as two to three men.
The suspects then demanded money from the man before taking his phone and throwing it on the train tracks, police said.
Another person went to police in the Bronx around 5 a.m. to report that he was also confronted by three men who stabbed him in the eye and slashed him in the neck and back, according to NBC 4 New York. Police could not confirm this report when contacted by Fox News, and it is not clear if the incident is related to the earlier attacks.
