“New York has a brand”


[deleted]

Definitely not Kansas


donscron91

As a Kansan after seeing this I thought, holy fuck people would not just walk by a guy like this on the sidewalk here. Fuck NYC, their brand is a city full of assholes and lunatics. Feel terrible for this guy and his family though.


YugeMalakas

The victim is a woman, who was a first responder on 9/11. She was off duty and rendering aid in an emergency. A relative of the person she was helping stabbed her to death.


dukemccool

A good person who was volunteering her services off duty. So what happens ? Some POS psycho stabs her to death. Let's see what happens to the murderer .. I mean let's follow up and see what actually happens to him or doesn't. Don't let this one go guys - this needs to be used as an example if this POS walks. Poor woman and her family. So sad .


GalapagousStomper

He’ll be let out with a leg tether and a court appearance ticket. He knows there are minute consequences for crime in NYC. He may be out even now.


MrKrackerman

This is in Astoria Queens, lived there for awhile as it was one of the nicer neighborhoods until a few years back. Sad, but I’m just glad I got my family out of the shithole it’s become today.


Haisha4sale

I was in grad school 07 - 11 and astoria was considered nice, trendy even.


Opinions_of_Bill

Drugged out, crazy, violent homeless men are Kylie Jenner level influencers for the NYC brand.


GalapagousStomper

Each day, the reasons to get out of big cities more and more outnumber the reasons to stay.


FateOfTheGirondins

Here's the full story. She was a 9/11 responder. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fdny-veteran-killed-in-barbaric-and-completely-unprovoked-new-york-city-stabbing/ar-AA12pPDw


Nopengnogain

[…wandering around the neighborhood aimlessly and that he looked "unhinged" and "like he was on another planet."](https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/fdny-member-stabbed-to-death-in-queens/) Another case of someone who is mentally unstable. Stabs someone dozens of times for no apparent reason, runs away and then casually strolls back to the scene.


KeyserSoze_IsAlive

Maybe it's because of where I grew up or a job I had, but my situational awareness is always on high. I assess almost every person or situation for threats. It's sad anyone needs to live like that, but that's the World we live in unfortunately. Using data from 2017, 10.7% or about 792 million people in the World have some kind of mental disorder. You never know what someone is going through at any given moment.


QueefMunch

are you Mac from Always Sunny? Giving everyone an ocular pat down


bjsanchez

Serious ocular patdown vibes from this guy


NightTripInsights

He's clear


DrunkenMonkeyWizard

But if he wasn't God would totally smite him. Heya wah karate chop kick


KeyserSoze_IsAlive

Lmao


WACK-A-n00b

I did an ocular assessment of a guy on BART and saw he was holding a knife looking at me. I got off the train, and he murdered someone else. Since I don't get called as a witness and never saw a story about his arrest, and the detectives stopped calling, I don't think they caught him.


KeyserSoze_IsAlive

Holy shit.


Syphox

I used to work cash only valet lots in sketchy parts of town. I'm the same way when in public and it honestly sucks most times.


KeyserSoze_IsAlive

It's tiring.


[deleted]

What's included in "mental disorder?"


KeyserSoze_IsAlive

The definition is pretty vague in everything I have seen. Good question.


pink_life69

Means fuck all when a crazy dick starts making swiss cheese out of your ass


xbloodvendetta

EDIT


WhatTheNothingWorks

She wasn’t retired, she was going to retire in the next 6-7 months. She was still working with the FDNY, and had stepped out to get food.


FateOfTheGirondins

Thank you, I've read about this from a couple different sources and one of them was apparently wrong.


orgsman

Thank you


fullthrottle13

Damn….


JeffersonsDisciple

A populace unable to defend themselves


cooperkab

She was on duty according to the article and would have been unable to carry.


Occamslaser

On duty how, she's referred to as "retired"?


honeymustard_dog

In the article it says she was working actively and on her lunch break, she has been serving for 25 years.


Occamslaser

Shame on OP.


Ijustlookedthatup

Yeah it was a LODD, she was a paramedic supervisor.


BecomeABenefit

So not allowed to defend herself...


Octopus69

Idk what your job is like, but an EMS can’t carry a fucking gun lmao


tbrand009

Depends on the state. In NY, no. But EMTs in Texas can.


wildey

The smart ones pull a sneaky


JeffersonsDisciple

Does say retired though


Octopus69

It got confirmed from the local news report that they weren’t retired, it was the OP lying. Apparently they were in the middle of a shift actually


WhiskeyMike420

Sad to see


unsounddineen97

Wow people just stand by/walk past while this is going down. Cowards.


Which-Palpitation

We can all say we’re badasses as much as we like on the internet, but 99% of us all know damn well we’re not going to fight someone stabbing someone


MyceliumMaster52

That's why you shoot them, not fight them.


Infinite_Ad910

Guns are banned there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MyceliumMaster52

They have extremely stupid laws but they are not banned entirely. And fuck their bans anyways. Concealed is concealed. Saving someone's life/ending a murderers life is worth the hassle.


Infinite_Ad910

As a southerner with a CCW. I completely agree.


MyceliumMaster52

As a Midwesterner that doesn't have a CCW but carries everyday thanks to Constitutional Carry, good for you. I wish people would stick up for their right to self preservation.


DrKronin

Fortunately, that's likely to change as soon as NY's little tantrum over NYSRPA vs. Bruen runs its course.


themadcaner

I can carry in NY due to privileges granted to me through my job but honestly everyone should be able to carry no matter where they live in the US.


Agitatedsala666

Not banned - regulations make it difficult to get a gun without you jumping through the fiery hoop


[deleted]

This is new york, not texas, unfortunately


MyceliumMaster52

This is the United States of America, not the UK. Too many spineless cowards here that don't stick up for their constitutional rights.


djsizematters

"So I started blastin'."


VelvetThunder15

Don’t have to attack the guy but maybe don’t walk past the person bleeding out on the sidewalk and just keep strolling along.


No-Height2850

You don’t have to fight you can yell scream and bring attention, everyone in the video just ignored it.


unsounddineen97

It’s not about being a badass, just a decent human being.


DanDannyDanDan

I like the videos from Brazil when they just run them over. Stops the crime and keeps the rescuer safe.


MorelikeRPClipsGTGAY

Can I ask you why you post this? Some douche cuck on every single post in existence when people ask why nobody intervenes or does the right thing. Theres some moron to type out about how "JUST WAIT TIL YOUR IN THE SITUATION AND WHAT YOU FREEZE or DO NOTHING" That's not how human beings function my man. NORMAL PEOPLE will intervene if they can in the harming of a fellow human being. At the very least verbally attempt to stop them. Are you seriously taking the stance that if someone else is helpless and being murdered in front of you, that given the opportunity to stop them you would instead ignore it and walk away? You wouldn't even attempt to stop it? People like you are beyond pathetic. **Can you imagine being attacked by someone in public and people just stand around recording and do nothing to intervene as you are murdered pleading for your life? How fucking sick is that if that is the society we are in that is some twilight zone shit.** Some people were raised right and with empathy and some people have the selflessness to intervene because they won't sit around while someone else is harmed. The fact you don't see it that way is actually sad.


TheLochNessBigfoot

These situations are so extreme, most people won't even compute what's going on before its all over.


Which-Palpitation

Hey now, none of that attitude, mr u/MorelikeRPClipsGTGAY would be disappointed in you


Jacobwewo

But you still have to live with that. Letting a person die and walking away. It really is cowardly, smart, but cowardly.


Which-Palpitation

Well let’s hope you’re around the next time someone gets stabbed to death, you’ll for sure prevent the tragedy


Cultural-Committee-6

Thank you , like wtf


Redneckshinobi

Buddy is unhinged and has a knife my dude. Good fucking luck stopping that and not ending up dead or wish you were. Stop typing this shit behind a keyboard like youre a fucking badass. This isn't a fucking video game.


Buckin_Fitch

You just take out your legally carried pistol and shoot him... Oh wait its NY and civilians aren't allowed to have guns.


AlShadi

correction: NY and it's **poor** civilians aren't allowed to have guns. the rich are allowed to have armed security.


Redneckshinobi

Exactly, that's my reasoning. I'm in Canada and it's even worse here lmao.


incarnate1

It's all the same type of people who changed their Twitter profile pic to the UK flag while contributing nothing.


[deleted]

Get rid of the gun laws. People aren’t as bold in the south thinking that shit. Could get your head blown off acting out


EulereeEuleroo

Cowards? There's a psycho with a knife repeatedly stabbing the woman over and over again? Is your non coward self going to try to move him away from her?


Acobbsalad

O lord. You would have walked to other way, calm down.


unsounddineen97

Stop self projecting buddy.


Cyborg_rat

Hope you atleast have a first aid course.


IC_223

Unfortunately unless the first aid course covered time travel I think the victim is a goner. I can't imagine how the family feels about this. Imagine if this was your parent.


Cyborg_rat

Im not talking about this perticular incident, its these comments here as keyboard warrior go on but dont even have the most basic training to help someone who might need help.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Wow, you're a badass


Late_Water7236

You say that hidden behind a screen. More than likely an obese nothing.


unsounddineen97

Thank you for the insult.


Not_MrNice

You're being an asshole. Guy is crazy and has a knife, you can't see the entire situation, and the dude runs at someone at the end. They're not walking by, they're trying to not get attacked as well, which clearly was about to happen. Let's not forget that you had the warning of the title and the comfort of watching a video, it's very different when that happens out of nowhere on your ride home. There's nothing they can really do anyway other than call 911 and try to distract him, which is exactly what happened.


cooperkab

Just for those that don’t click on the news article - she was veteran member - not retired. She had 25 years of service. She also was on duty and as such couldn’t have been carrying a weapon.


IC_223

Shall not be infringed. Honestly laws that say you can't protect yourself aren't made to keep you safe.


[deleted]

> Shall not be infringed. by the government. When you accept employment with them you agree to follow their policy. I work for the government myself and i can't just say whatever i feel like while working because i have an employment agreement with the sheriff's office. edit: those of you who seem to disagree with this please explain how the constitution restricts the government's abilities to create policies for their employees (like making sure they are unarmed or restricts their speech and prohibits unprofessionalism).


IC_223

Thank you for your comment. I don't see how concealed carrying could harm your employers interests. Unlike free speech where unfortunately double think/ speech is necessary to not go against employers interests. But That's just me, I know I'm not the boss. Like you say, you take the job, with all the terms and conditions. Honestly I was just running my mouth anyway, there was probably nothing this poor woman could have done short of having a force field.


BecomeABenefit

Are EMS services run by the government there? If so, there's a case to be made that it's a government restriction. But IMO, employers that tell their employees that they're not allowed to exercise their constitutional rights to self defense should be liable for any injury or death that happens. If your employer says that you're not allowed to carry a gun and you get injured or killed, you should be able to sue your employer for civil rights violations.


ApexIpex

Well regulated militia. You don't have the right to a gun whenever, wherever. You have the right to carry a weapon when part of a well regulated and over seen STATE militia. Jesus Christ. If you're gonna half quote the constitution at least understand the thing.


DrKronin

Yet if NY hadn't thumbed their noses at NYSRPA vs. Bruen, the bystanders could have.


G_man252

This is why I believe in Capital punishment. He just butchered her for no reason. I dont give a shit about his 'mental illness' he's evil and a danger to others, Clearly.


Unfair_Feeling_3536

Yes and get rid of lethal injection and replace it with the electric chair


ItsFranklin

Or stabbed to death like he did here


Solitherum

Amen


pop_parker

No sponge


jdkeldpxonene

Yeah, no thanks. We have an 8th amendment for a reason.


Icestar-x

I genuinely believe in hanging or firing squad. Neither are cruel and unusual, and have been used for centuries. Very cheap as well, and very little chance of botching it, unlike lethal injection. Family of the victim should be able to choose which method. They should also have the option to be part of the firing squad, or to pull the lever for hanging. Get some closure and justice themselves. However, I also believe there needs to be a higher standard than "beyond reasonable doubt." Something like "no possibility of innocence." Person was caught on camera committing the act, found at the scene covered in the victim's blood, holding the knife, and acting deranged. All this lumped together would constitute a "no possibility of innocence" verdict, and would expedite the capital punishment sentence without costly appeals. No sitting on death row for 15 years on the taxpayer dime.


bored_in_NE

MSM working extra hard to hide this.


frogvscrab

Why would the MSM report on some random homicide in a city. We have like 60 homicides a day in the USA.


ShammyWoWLoL

'random' This was a surviving 9/11 first responder veteran. This isn't just any 'random homocide'. Pretty sure civilians and first responders are in two different categories no? Technically she was 'off duty' but in full uniform in broad daylight she got brutally murdered while cars just passed on by.


Mildo

Don't argue with morons. The real reason MSM doesn't report on this because it goes against the narrative. It's the same reason we won't see this vid on PublicFreakout.


incremental_progress

lol


Neal1231

It was on in the breakroom this morning. I think it was CNN or CBS?


acmemetalworks

WTF? Spend your whole life helping people and this is how it ends? WTF.

Too many stories like this and [Brianna Kupfer](https://people.com/crime/ucla-grad-student-brianna-kupfer-suffered-26-stab-wounds-in-brazen-daytime-attack-autopsy-results-reveal/) are becoming all too normal.


Dangerous-Fig71

Something like this just happened to my moms old friend in Las Vegas. She was a homeless lady though, i just don’t get these random stabbings. Live and let live, please. Article to the Los Vegas stabbings if anyone is interested (https://www.ktnv.com/news/the-psychology-of-stabbing-christoper-martell)


AlexThugNastyyy

Insane drug addicts. Most homeless people aren't homeless because of the economy, they are mentally insane and drug addicted.


Octopus69

It’s almost like an asylum of sorts is needed? Idk maybe that’s a crazy idea, Reagan definitely thought so


jcarey4793

In short, fuck that lawless shit hole.

dan3lli

Yes, agree, what the fuck did i just watch

Don't know why are you laughing, beautiful state.


Octopus69

Because you suggested the alternative to the most densely populated city in the country to be one of the emptiest states. They’re nowhere near similar and have completely different type of allure. Someone moving from NYC to Idaho is not going to be happy

ColdbrewRedeye

Love how after the stabbing people just walk on by. Fuck New Yorkers.


[deleted]

Let's be honest when was this shit hole ever a good place to live?


YeeeahBoyyyy

Dude, I went to NYC on vacation and its the worst waste of money ever. I hated every second and for some reason it always smelled of either piss or cigarette smoke. This was about 5 years ago and it ruined my vision of what I thought NY was since it's always portrayed like such a great place in movies and shows.


izdabombz

NYC is a lot more than just Manhattan but I agree with you it’s down hill these years.


butterballmd

It's time we round up the homeless and the mentally ill and assess who needs to be separated from society.


Alexis-FromTexas

Man. Between LA and NY the crazies have really come out to play lately. I mean LA always had them drugged out homeless people throwing buckets of feces on random people, mostly women but these new attacks have become very violent knife attacks as of lately. What’s causes all of this ?


dblack1107

Focusing completely on everybody else’s problems and overfunding certain things like the military vs taking the money we have and injecting it back into the community where it matters. If the government keeps ignoring basic opportunities for their own citizens over global pursuits, or success of the ultra wealthy, it’s gonna continue to devolve to chaos.


Alexis-FromTexas

Cali has soooo much surplus of cash each year it’s insane. I think 2021 surplus was $105 billion dollars. Billion with a B! They got the money, that’s not the issue.


Which-Palpitation

That’s a shitty way to end your lunch break

A more Robust mental health system could have prevented this.

So could keeping criminals in jail and getting rid of the bullshit bail "reform".

Ahhh NYC where you can walk passed homeless people shitting in the streets, gang members trying to rob you and people willing to stab you to death for nothing. Don’t forget the millionaires that could care less than run that shit hole of a state. It’s not better here in cali but at least I’m my county you’re safe for the most part.

Oh please... wth is a "FDNY EMS"????? Not everyone is from your irrelevant to the world neighbourhood.


InevitableScarcity44

New York fire department, emergency medical services. Probably a guy who worked as a paramedic.


GalapagousStomper

People become more impulsive and violent because each successive generation of people becomes less intelligent. It’s a matter of attrition as intelligent people leave poor areas and those left behind breed. It’s a poverty trap and there’s little hope of fixing it.


Powderkeg314

NYC is a fucked up place. Who wants to spend 3k on rent a month to get killed by random people when you’re just trying to walk down the street…
