NYC continues to be a Zoo with savage animals on the loose, and the prowling predators emerging from the underground to exact a terrible toll; sometimes just to get their kicks.

Buscemi Is a Great Actor. His "Trees Lounge" Movie, & "Ghost World" are wonderful. Underrated thanks to the "Masses that are Asses". ❤

[@willmont8258]

The reason this keeps happening is because it is a minor offense in NY and people know they won't go to prison for it. Give them mandatory prison of at least 1 year for starters. More years based on the injuries to the victim.

[@Juke582]

Not true! They are getting years in prison for it!

[@willmont8258]

@@Juke582 No they are not. NYC considers this a minor simple assault.

[@willmont8258]

@@Juke582 No one gets years in prison for anything in NY, not even for murder and rape. Most of the DAs are far left Democrats who think crime is just a form of class struggle.

[@gootjuicehotsauce]

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would most undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.

[@Brandon-iy4fl]

People of any background should need to hire protection to walk down the damn street in this country for fear of being randomly assaulted. Perhaps more Hollywood types might wish to rethink their liberal stances on 2A protections to the common man. I know Steve was a firefighter and most firefighters enjoy their 2A freedoms.
