-Lurid Crime Tales-
'Subway Ripper' charged with killing two in chilling spate of New York stabbings
2021-02-15
[Mirror UK]
Could not find a US news outlet that will show Lopez's photo and had to go to foreign news source. I want to know how he fled the scenes of his crimes with his pants around his ankles?
tiny shuffling steps
Needing to resort to foreign sources is why Fred started referring to one source as The Daily Mail, where America gets its news, and why we look to the Daily Mail and the Telegraph for their liveblogging during ongoing jihadi attacks, among others. The British tabloids have a serious fascination with America’s ‘orrible stories — it makes them feel superior. And their reporters are up six hours before ours, which helps with events in distant time zones.
A blood-soaked alleged "Subway Ripper" has been arrested and charged after two people were killed in a spate of stabbings that terrorised the New York City transit network.

Rigoberto Lopez,
...a solidly Latino name. Is he here legally?
21, was taken in to custody reportedly drenched in blood before being charged in connection with the deadly stabbings.

The four unprovoked attacks apparently targeted homeless people and took place on the A train or at stations served by it beginning on Friday morning.

The New York Police Department said that Lopez had been charged with one count of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, and two counts of second-degree attempted murder.

Local radio station 1010WINS, citing police sources, said Lopez was taken into custody late on Saturday wearing blood-soaked clothes and shoes.

#9  No, man, those homeless people were to blame, not this knife-wielding angel.

#7  I must have missed the part where the social worker talks The Ripper into giving up and self-delivering to counseling.

#6   Probably some kind of schizophrenia or such.

Or just plain mean, yes. Definitely a ‘orrible lurid crime tale. Moved to Page 3: Non-War on Terror.

#3  Perhaps the Mayor could adopt Rigo, put him up in a spare bedroom, act as a role model.

#2  ...and then someone will offer 'protection' to the interested community. Only emphasizing the illegitimacy of the government.

#1  But the Manhattan DA is too busy looking into Trump's finances to be bothered. This moak will be out on no bail shortly. Charges will not be filed.
