I think one or two Bernie Goetz responses might put a halt to this fun pastime.

This is first time that I’ve seen a “mainstream” outlet in the US - in the first story, right off the bat - acknowledged in print the race of the perpetrators of a knockout attack. So I guess that’s progress, journalistically.

“I wish I had the answer,” he said.

“Maybe Police Commissioner Kelly will have the answer for me. We all want to be safe.”

He actually wonders how he could have protected himself. Need I make a suggestion...or is something so far removed from his experience?
