    Seriously?
    1. We've had people from both sides question why threads are here. Happens all the time.
    2. 'What's allowed?' Is the thread still here?
    3. Finally, abuse? You consider asking why he started a thread and pointing out that crime is far worse in other places than NYC to be abuse?

    As soon as I saw who the OP was I thought “Oh dear, what random black person committed a crime now”

    If he had a gun, there is a good chance that the Sicko would have taken the gun from him and shot him. And then you'd have a Sicko on the streets of New York with a baseball bat and a gun, and the victim would be dead. You don't always get to script how a conflict will play out.

    It would be far safer to ban the sport of baseball and replace it with cricket. No self-respecting criminal would be caught dead with a cricket bat.

    Maybe, but there's a better chance he'd be dead

    Quit avoiding my question, what are you suggesting about my post. How many people are being pushed in front of subways in Florida? How many are being hit with a bat? Etc. You know this already. Grow a pair and ask me what you really want to

    I disagree with you there; New York city leaders definitely made it worse

    So did Florida leaders, with their higher crime rate, make it worse too?

    RIP to this little angel. Hope the demonic monster who did this to her burns in hell. Maybe some posters should start keeping tabs on Texas crimes the same way a certain contingent of posters keep tabs on Chicago, NY, Portland, LA and San Francisco crimes.

    Man you are just too easy to make fun of. While I concede there have been no people pushed to their death from Tampa’s subway platforms it’s Florida and this happens all the time

    So, what part of this are you making fun of me? You realize this story happened in the persons home, not on a busy sidewalk in front of people. Still a horrible story. I'm just pointing the misspelling you have in your sentence since we have a certain poster that gets off pointing out errors, she can't help herself

    The best part of making fun of some people for the silly things they say is that the often have no idea why they’re being made fun of. In your case I gave you two clues and you still don’t get it.

    “Abuse”?! “Disgusting”?! Oh brother.
    And mods can’t chime in with their opinion?

    OP started this thread because it was a crime in a city with democratic leadership. He can point and say “look at the failure of democratic leadership”

    this despite him not living in NY but instead in Florida where the violent crime level is worse and the leadership is decidedly Republican.

    Blatant hypocrite.

    Florida has a higher murder rate than New York state. And Republican-led Jacksonville has a much higher murder rate than New York City.

    Howso?

    Why aren't you laying the blame on Jax leaders or Fla leaders? Just saw a headline where a 13 year old kid was gunned down on his way home from football practice.

    Why the double standard?

    P.S. And so much for your theory "if he only had a gun..."

    It's mind-boggling. Truly.
