Man Accused of Slugging Rick Moranis Has History of Assaulting Strangers
New York Post ^ | November 15 | Elizabeth Rosner, Rachel Green and Kenneth Garger

The homeless ex-con accused of sucker-punching actor Rick Moranis has allegedly been randomly attacking strangers in New York City for the past six months, it was revealed Sunday night.

Marquis Ventura, 35, was arraigned on a slew of charges in Manhattan Criminal Court late Sunday, including an assault rap for knocking Moranis to the ground in the Oct. 1 attack on the Upper West Side.

Prosecutors claimed that Ventura has been involved with a number of other unprovoked attacks — including one in lower Manhattan just hours after he allegedly pummeled the “Honey, I Shrunk The Kids” star.

There must be a Dark Helmut joke there somewhere

But seriously how many more times will Da Authorities let this dangerous thug go out on the street, until he kills?

I don’t know how much choice the DA has, when this new law went into effect.

What new law?

And please don't respond with, "That thing, you know, man."

“He was in the psych ward in seven different states . . . diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, and has been without his medication,” his lawyer Levine said.

The old insanity defense. I had a psychology professor who worked in a hospital for the seriously insane. He said they all had a basic sense of right and wrong. They all know when they are doing something wrong.

I've never responded in such a way in my life.

The New York legislature passed a law last year that went into effect in January 2020 eliminating for misdemeanors and "non-violent" felonies. Now, that's what it said, but there were a lot of people released without bail for what I consider violence.

There was a woman who was repeatedly attacking Jewish women, and repeatedly being released.

I don't know the details of the law, but it seems like it took the options away from DAs and judges.

There are a very small number who believe G-d or some entity is telling them to do it.

He has a history, because nobody’s bothered to put him behind bars and keep him there. There’s plenty of nutcases in the prison system, and they get their daily meds there as well. Put his ass away and stop this cycle of violence.

Is this guy the “King of Catch and Release”, NY City style?

Next time, try a barrel of gorilla glue, a huge box of duct tape, and a 44 magnum.

You can bet right after he was charged he was released under the New York catch and release bail program. He will do it again and again and again.

So, the guy is a mentally ill racist.

Just about covers the entire Democrat Party and its adherents.

If this perp hadn’t made the mistake of slugging a celebrity, the NYC Authorities would not care.
