Yea he actually attacked me too :/

Idiot

My post literally has as much credence as that Reddit one

Believing random people on Reddit about a racially charged situation

better get riled up about it, that will help

Choking someone for 15 minutes is excessive, regardless of the reason

that's the part that makes this reprehensible. it was murder

another r/nyc comment:

I am pretty sure I had a run in with this guy a few weeks ago on the F. He was throwing around a city bike and yelling about how he was going to kill people.

Most left the car but this poor Asian lady got stuck by him, so a few of us couldn't leave her alone with him.

That’s crazy cause this same thing happened to me

none of these reddit comments justify homicide.

oh here we go, good insight:

I practice criminal law in NYC. With the failure of the Legislature to enact any meaningful changes in the bail statute - or even get individuals who are mentally disturbed and terrorizing others on the subway into in-patient mental health facilities, this scenario will only be on the rise.

There is still zero mechanism for holding a mentally disturbed defendant that is otherwise not eligible for bail (which still only applies to violent felonies - and not in unprovoked street assaults- NY PL assault in the third degree) in custody - pending their 730 mental health assessment.

With the failure to enact common sense reform, citizens will be emboldened to provide their own version of vigilante "street justice" - and prosecutors will be hard pressed to make any charges stick. I fear that we will see many more versions of "Bernie Goetz" before there is enough public outrage that causes the legislature comes to their senses.

How tf has the white dude not been identified yet? Must’ve been an undercover cop

haha you're really funny

You might as well ask ChatGPT to write a story about this s*** lol the fact u think Reddit comments are real

a lot of you guys can't relate to getting attacked or mugged and it shows. it happens in big cities all the time, especially ny

man that video is so sad and f***ed up, tf is wrong with people

is it true this guy was arrested over 40 times? doesn’t justify his death but if that’s true it’s really weird how media are just showing videos of him from like 15 years ago dancing on the subway like he wasn’t a menace lol reminds me of when news stations post soft family photos for white dudes who kill their families

this country is f***ed and the media is laughing to the bank

Oh yea 40 arrests is when the death penalty kicks in I forgot about that

I know s***ty ppl have always existed but it feels like the internet the last few years has just super amplified the absolute worst people and views out there. Crazy that anybody would defend this let alone talk about how this guys deserved to die or w/e

maybe read past the first line

he literally said it doesn't justify his death. wow

Guy is plain stupid just ignore him

Why even make the point lol same for you. There’s ZERO justification for this even if dude had been arrested 1,000 times
