Hit a 90 year old man? Complete trash individuals that serve zero purpose on this Earth.

Yeah, that doesn't ever work for me. I feel as sorry for them as I do some teen murderer in Florida who just felt like it.

Because it’s a complete straw man that’s not going to show up at all?

VisionGuard t1_j6zj8cy wrote

Well yeah, this one is too politically hot for those folks to say that. But they'd definitely say it if it weren't.

If things were different, things would be different, correct.

VisionGuard t1_j73hoka wrote

Yeah, the constant being that they're always politically expedient. It's not some "strawman".

Yes, if things were different people would respond differently. Very astute.

VisionGuard t1_j74izyq wrote

Right, so it's not remotely a "strawman" but, like, something they're solely not doing because they're worried about social pressure.

At least in your asinine way, you're implicitly agreeing with that, which is great.

No matter how many ways you restate it, you’re still just saying that people react differently to different circumstances, which is both completely obvious and not at all insightful.

VisionGuard t1_j775i6j wrote

Sure it is. It's impeaching your silly suggestion that these people don't actually believe what they do. They do - they're just worried it's not politically expedient to say it.

Mind-reading is a hell of a gift.

So is consistently being obtuse, like you appear to be.

>So far, Ray has not sought any medical treatment and continues to work.

Fuck, I really hope Ray gets checked out by a doctor.

He was attacked with a metal pipe!

Businesses like Ray's and Economy Candy are NYC institutions. I will miss them when they are gone.

90 years old and working the overnight shift to make sure the store is well-stocked for his customers.

Thoughts and prayers are worthless. Call your city council member and demand the actual enforcement of the law.

When you hit a 90 year old with a metal pipe that's attempted murder. Put em away forever.

WTF? Who would even say a mean word to Ray?

7 years ago I chased down a guy attempting to steal his meat slicing machine. People have tried to Rob him in the past. It’s quite sad.

The DA needs to send a message and throw the book at the perpetrator.

For any sane person, there's no economic hardship or life experience that makes beating a 90-year-old like that relatable.

Ridiculous. Not shocking they may already be known. That SW corner of Tompkins sq. park is sketchy.

But, when caught, they’ll be out in 24 hours. They’ll make bail. That’s what they’ll say :/
