The Brooklyn straphanger who shot a berserk rider attacking him on a rush-hour train Thursday will not be charged, prosecutors said Friday.

“Yesterday’s shooting inside a crowded subway car was shocking and deeply upsetting,’’ Oren Yaniv, a spokesman for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, said in an an e-mailed statement.

“The investigation into this tragic incident is ongoing but, at this stage, evidence of self-defense precludes us from filing any criminal charges against the shooter.”

The shot man, Dajuan Robinson, 36, had bought the gun on the train and whipped it out during his attack on a stranger, who shot Robinson in the head as the pair wrestled over it.

Robinson is hospitalized in critical condition.

He must have bought it in the 90’s, when trains still had firearms’ vending machines ...

This horrendously-written piece was the joint product of two individuals? I am just looking at this excerpt. Can’t imagine how bad the entire article is.

Example: The shot man, Dajuan Robinson, 36, had bought the gun on the train....

::::::
Do they have vendors going through the cars now selling firearms? I can see that there is a need for such. Heck of a business opportunity.

You are to be excused for your confusion. Cannot believe the substandard level of writing here.

I am picturing the vendor circulating among the cars wearing a tray hanging from his neck like those of the glamorous cigarette girls in the nightclubs of the 1930s and ‘40s.

"He [Obuad] was arrested on drug-peddling charges in East New York, Brooklyn, on Feb . 20, sources said." Back out on the streets without bail no doubt, and probably peddling still, just hasn't been picked up again.

"He also had been involved in several domestic incidents, all of which have had their details sealed, but was 'mostly' the victim in those cases, source said."

Another non-white no doubt, and actual criminal. The maternal grandmother of his two children says she hasn't seen him in years and has no contact with him. If he isn't living with his wife and kids, is he paying child support, or is he in violation of that law as well?

There is a Facebook account with photos of him dated back to 2019. Last post was June 9, 2022.

I also found a suit for debt filed against him by Uhg I LLC in Kings County, NY.

This foreclosure case from a year ago could also be connected to him. Same name but with a middle initial of R:

Gamma Mall, Inc. V. Youence R. Obuad, et al, Mississippi County, Arkansas

Gamma Mall also sued the same person for debt collection in 2014.

"Regardless, the non-charged person is Hispanic"

Where did you find that out? His name sounds middle eastern to me.

Today you can only get used condoms and used tampons in the vending machines on the NY Subway.

Well, I’m amazed and pleasantly surprised.

I really thought he would be charged and convicted of Murder, despite it being purely self defense.

Huh. I commented earlier about this:

This would be a good one to untangle from a self defense perspective:

You start a fist fight.
A third person stabs you.
You, possibly justifiably, pull a gun on third person.
The person who you started the fist fight with takes your gun and shoots you.

That’s some complicated stuff.

"But let’s face it: the reason he isn’t being charged is he is not white and the belligerent was white."
Maybe you should read the article on the Post and look at the photos. You get it backwards.
