Random ‘sucker-punch’ assaults leave frightened NYC residents on edge
2021-04-18
Some are nuts or on drugs, others are just mean, but all feel permitted because they are.
[NYPost] An Upper West Side man is cold-cocked in Chelsea.

"These incidents aren’t happening in front of officers. They are happening due to opportunists taking advantage of the anti-police, anti-accountability era," NYPD Sgt. Joseph Imperatrice, the founder of Blue Lives Matter NYC and a 15-year-veteran, told The Post.

#6  People need a bit more situational awareness. I know it's tough when they come up from behind but every video of seen the victim seemed totally unaware of their surroundings and I believe that was one of the main reasons they were selected.

#5  It's the knockout game. Notice how the media carefully avoided mentioning they're black? That's how Rick Moranis got slugged.

#3  Re #1: This is New York City. Guns are banned. If someone shoots an attacker, the shooter will be arrested. See Bernie Goetz.

As long as the media publishes these attacks and fails to follow up with arrests and those arrested are only slapped on the wrists... There will be little association with CRIME, JUSTICE & PUNISHMENT.

Thus only putting the idea into more ticked off B-holes seeking to show their A$$e$ . No Big Deal.

#1  They will continue until random defensive pistol shots drop these attackers where they stand.
