Maniac yells ‘I hate white people,’ punches 84-year-old man on subway
2017-08-31
[NYDAILYNEWS] An 84-year-old man was punched in the head by a subway psycho who said he hates white people, but the plucky victim says he’s taking it in stride and feels sorry for his attacker.

John Stewart was riding a Brooklyn-bound J train after boarding at Sutphin Blvd. in Jamaica on Aug. 23 at about 2:30 p.m. when, he said, he dropped his cane onto another straphanger’s legs.

"I was trying to hold my cane and the pole at the same time. Apparently my cane fell on his legs and that’s what upset him. But I don’t condemn him," he said.

As the train rolled into the Woodhaven Blvd. stop, the straphanger stood up and slammed him in the right side of the head.

"I hate white people and I hope they burn in hell!" the unhinged straphanger shouted.

"I’m not blaming him. I’m blaming the societies that put him in this situation. I think our society really has to get it together and ask real honest questions. There are a lot of hurting people out there," Stewart told the Daily News Tuesday.

#6  the vicitm's plea for "our society to get it together and ask real honest questions" OK, as a member of society I'll ask him a real honest question "WTF is wrong with YOU?"

#4  Blaming the "societies" has been the modus operandi for the last 50 years. How well has that worked out?

I get the impression that the vicitm's plea for "our society to get it together and ask real honest questions," has little, if anything, to do with personal responsibility and accountability.

Some people will never get it; even when it literally punches them in the face.

Society? No, I blame the delayed introduction of John Deere stripper pickers.

#2  Like screaming Allah Ackbar, police are still seeking a motive. Those are all psychos too, right?

I’m not blaming him. I’m blaming the societies that put him in this situation. - aka Stockholm Syndrome.

We'll all wait till he kills somebody. For an 'advanced' society, we still cling to practicing human sacrifice for our little gods of social virtue.
