The killer doesn’t appear to be high. It just looked like he decided to kill an Asian.

Knives have become harmful now that all guns have been turned in, don’t you know?

"Drug business?"

This doesn't sound like drug business at all.

More like a psycho slasher on the loose in the 'hood.

It's significant that on Friday another child was stabbed to death only a few blocks away.

If Satan runs loose on earth, it is only because we let him by our own choices we make.

Leni,
Am find a reference to an 18 year old female being stabbed on Friday, in same neighborhood. Is this the same as your reference or different?

Shut up man, Maury was on!

I think the area is a housing project. And they likely play outside on the street while inattentive mom does whatever it is people do in housing projects. Facebook, Maury, a bit of Steve Wilkos, send kids to play somewhere, plan to get F-ed up, look for a job later.

Growing up in Florida, some kids head was found on the beach. We were not shielded from it and my parents never lost sight of us.

The most strident liberals live far far away from the problems created by their misguided policies.

Existence is intrinsically evil, and it will overrun whatever is unprepared and in its path.

// Former Councilman Charles Barron secured $500,000 last July for cameras at the Boulevard Houses where the stabbings took place.

Those cameras, which could have captured the image of the suspect, are still not up. //

Corruption. Via link from your link (thanks):

“Absolutely the worst city in this country, hands down.”

I agree; I live a dozen miles to the west, and haven’t been there in years. After Rudy was elected, people told me it was different; they had simply moved the homeless crazies off the streets into the subways. He made it more secure, but that has been undone since he left.

At this point visiting NYC would be like volunteering for a “scared straight” program where you spend some time in jail.

He is running loose regardless of our choices. We must always be on guard though. When Christ comes again he will bind Satan and his followers to hell, but in the meantime he scours the earth like a lion looking for souls to devour.

Prayers being said for Mikayla Capers, seven year old victim. Lord, please help our law enforcement to find this person that committed this act before another child dies. In Jesus name, I pray ... Amen Amen.

Turn it over to the detectives of the Major Case squad, Goren and Eames.
