Perp pulls a knife or razor on NY subway, then gun, and he is victim

[Sam]

My Sister lives about a block from the Empire State Building and loves it, but they have a house in San Fransisco and love it too.

No way I would live there, for all the reasons people mentioned before. But once in a long time 3 days visit is acceptable. BTW, we were at the Empire State Building twice during our visit.

It's interesting to observe that once we got 50 miles away from Manhattan, things started to look like the rest of America.

You can’t make this stuff up. Possible mental ill man gets in argument with subway riders, pulls a razor or knife and starts beating on the man he got into argument with. Lady stabs perp in back, pisses him off so he goes for the most painful weapon draw I have ever seen in my life and starts asking girl that stabbed him if she is scarred. Starts terrorizing the girl and the original guy he argued with. I am only assuming guy and stabby girl are together. Lady filming takes off once she sees the gun but still recording. Sounds like original punching bag guy wrestles gun away from him and puts one in his melon.

Now the crazy part….. the police are praised for stepping in and intervening (with what I don’t know since threat is neutralized)….. they are happy they arrested the shooter…… and the guy leaking brains is the VICTIM!!!!!!

Never been to NY, never will.

This is also I suspect part of why nobody went to the aid of Kitty Genovese... I hope they all hear her dyin screams every time they close their eyes for the rest of their lives.

Sounds like it worked itself out.

Robinson is still in critical condition from the injuries, but prosecutors declined to charge Obuad with the shooting, stating he had acted in self-defense.

We go to the city as much as we can, at least twice a year. We don’t ride the subways. We used to, but not anymore. We’ve literally had zero issues going there.

When my wife and I were teenagers, we'd ditch school sometimes and take the Martz bus to the city for the day. IIRC it was something like $2.50 round trip from the terminal next to our house and back.

Never a single problem. It’s been roughly 30(ish) years of going there.

Hmmm, wonder why Daniel Penny was charged and yet this guy got let off so quick? Hmmm, not sure the difference myself. Maybe Mr. Penny should have let the nut job beat the snot out of someone and pull a gun before jumping into action. My guess is he still would have been charged.

This is the violence version of a 'turducken' which is a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey.
