    • We should pressure those who can do so –he more ppl, the better!

      For decades (maybe a lot more), the most heinous acts were done by people hiding their faces.
      Should be illegal!

  • Kingston Avenue and Lefferts

    Crazy! That’s me walking with my wife and 2 children on the other side of the street. I did not see or hear anything. Wish I would have heard something and been there to help. I only found out about what happened right across the street from me, when I read this story and watched the video. Hopefully this man is found and put away for a long time.

    The perp is graciously being hosted by one of our own landlords in one of his buildings.
    A disgrace.

  • “An arrest is likely”?

    Well, isn’t that special. Why, do they first have to check whether he has the “right” skin tone or ethnic status or immigration status?
