#2 According to a 2013 Census Bureau estimate, 45.8% of the Bronx's population was white [white, not Hispanic or Latino 10.5%], 43.3% was black or African American, 4.2% Asian, 3.0% American Indian, 0.4% Pacific Islander, and 3.3% of two or more races. In addition, 54.6% of the population was of Hispanic or Latino origin, of any race.

The Census Bureau considers the Bronx to be the most diverse area in the country. There is an 89.7 percent chance that any two residents, chosen at random, would be of different race or ethnicity. Approximately 44.3% of the population over the age of 5 speak only English at home, which is roughly 570,000 people. The majority (55.7%) of the population speak non-English languages at home. Over 580,600 people (45.2% of the population) speak Spanish at home.

#3 By chanting "ISIS" were the attackers proclaiming their loyalty to ISIS or making the leap that a 43 year old man walking with his daughter/niece/neighbor was a member of ISIS?

#4 He wasn't beheaded, so it must have been the latter.

"He had been wearing a man dress shalwar kameez, a traditional South Asian outfit featuring a long tunic, the New York SlTimes reported."

Looks to me like some yoots went after him.

At least the girl was of legal Muslim age.
