Lawmakers on Wednesday demanded tougher regulations to prevent a repeat of the wild machete attack in Bryant Park.

“It is disturbing,” said state Sen. Tony Avella, a day after a foreign tourist was slashed with an easy-to-get and hard-to-ban machete. “They are deadly weapons,” he said.

My dad had this most incredible scythe. It had a two foot blade and a six foot handle. It, and a black blanket were all you needed for a perfect Halloween costume.

No,no,no! Not that type of wild. Only domestic machetes attacks should be allowed. These attacks may even be the result of an invasive species of machete!

By a man with an arrest record a mile long.

I made one out of an old saw mill blade...okay maybe more than one.

They all ran away one night when I wasn’t watching them.

Tougher machete laws?

How about we remove the invaders?

Tell it like it is, Mr. StormFront Troll.

Your posting history makes perfectly clear exactly who and what you are:

- near exclusive focus on race-related posts.

- use of language/phrases that are associated with white nationalist groups (”wake up white people,” “white quislings,” “white collaborators,” etc.)

- open support for white nationalist groups like the CofCC

- open support for white nationalist authors/ sites

- support for segregation and separation of the races.

It’s all right there, out in the open, for anyone to see. You are a white nationalist StormFront troll. Those cesspools send people like you onto forums like this to quietly/softly try to bring people around to their point of view, and you are playing that role. You don’t even deny it (though you’re is careful not to say the magic words and/or explicitly admit it, as you know it would get you zotted instantly, which would defeat the purpose of your presence).

Also, what invader are you talking about. The suspect’s name is Frederick Young - where was he invading from?

In fact, the only foreigner in this case was the VICTIM, a tourist from South Korea.

So, tell me, Mr. StormFront troll. What are you talking about?

A woman beat her husband to death the other day with cans of food. Got to ban the can.

Obviously the machete was at fault just like the Confederate flag pulled the trigger in Charleston. Just another knee jerk reaction by a politician not willing to admit there are crazy people out there and that our government failed the general population by not recognizing it.

YEs, why banning those will stop criminals for sure.

Criminals all over the USA will be turning in their weapons because
they're illegal.

FOOL!
