They are the buzzwords of New York City crime circa 2022: Random and unprovoked.

A chilling spate of recent incidents involving innocent victims runs the gamut from a woman savagely beaten inside a Queens subway station to a 17-year-old Brooklyn girl killed by a stray bullet to a Mexican immigrant nearly killed by a sucker-punch outside a Manhattan restaurant.

The latest terrifying attack took the life of of a veteran city EMS lieutenant on her way to grab lunch in Astoria this past Thursday, with a schizophrenic stranger knocking her to the sidewalk before stabbing her 20 times for no apparent reason.

“There’s something profoundly wrong with New York,” said Mary Hassler, 66, an Astoria resident and cosmetics sales person. “The number of these attacks are growing. There seems to be more and more all the time.

Bernie Goetz wasn’t a criminal, he was the solution.

"unprovoked"

Maybe not. Maybe the racial resentments and sense of (black) entitlement instilled by CRT have filtered down to the streets and achieved one of their intended effects.

You voted for it, New Yorkers. Embrace the suck.

“Bernie Goetz wasn’t a criminal, he was the solution.”

Bernie should have walked away and kept his mouth shut.

I spent a few weeks in NYC 6 years ago. During that time, I was punched in the shoulder by some random black guy, and was assaulted in a grocery store by another random black guy. Black-on-other crime really is a problem there, as I can personally attest.

NYers better get to know Mr’s Smith and Wesson.

You’re exactly on point. Combine the elements of your post with Soros-financed scofflaw prosecutors and we have a society that’s quickly becoming unmoored in very dangerous waters.

Biden is emptying the jails of what will be the foot soldiers of the left. A domestic Mariel Boat Lift aimed at the right. The New People’s Army that Obama wanted. An exact copy of Robert Mugabe’s methods of holding onto power and keeping any resistance from your opponents a crime with swift summary execution.

As you noted, Critical Race Theory (in its various forms) plays a big part here. CRT makes one class victims, and another class oppressors. Then the victims are subtly encouraged to get even with their oppressors.

We saw much the same thing in Germany after WW I. The German people were told they were victims of Jewish oppressors who stabbed the nation in the back.

We all know how that turned out.

Did the nation vote for BiteMe?

NYC now has RCV for mayoral races for a reason...
