EXCLUSIVE: Cops remove knife and sweatshirt from home of Brooklyn stabber Brian Dowling, 18, before charging him with murder of social justice activist Ryan Thoresen Carson in unprovoked 4am attack

The NYPD has arrested and charged the suspect in the fatal stabbing of Brooklyn community activist Ryan Thoresen Carson.

Brian Dowling, 18, was arrested at an apartment in Bedford Stuyvesant on Thursday morning. He has since been charged with murder and is currently being held in a Brooklyn police station.

Police were looking for the black Champion sweatshirt he was wearing when they showed up at the apartment and found him today.

They were seen removing the sweatshirt in a brown paper bag, and the knife he is said to have used in the attack.

It is not far from where Carson, 32, was stabbed to death while he waited for a bus with his girlfriend at 3.50am on Monday.

Dowling was previously described as 'emotionally and mentally disturbed'.

He is understood to work at a school in Clinton Hill and is so unhinged that his own aunt reported him to police two months ago after he broke his girlfriend's belongings in a fight.

Carson spearheaded liberal causes like creating supervised drug injection sites across the city.

His girlfriend, according to now locked-down social media profiles, was an avid BLM activist who, among other remarks, used the cop-hating acronym ACAB in some posts.

Their friends say he would consider his killer the 'victim of a broken system' and would want his death to be used to continue advocating for social justice causes.

Yesterday, friends set up a GoFundMe account for Carson's girlfriend. They have so far raised $60,000.

It remains unclear what prompted Dowling to attack. He was seen in the video at first walking past Carson and Morales, before turning back.

Only A Lad
You really can’t blame him
Only A Lad
Society’s made him

He’s our responsibility
Oh, ooh-oh
Only A Lad
He really couldn’t help it
Only A Lad
He didn’t wanna do it
Only A Lad
He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

His girlfriend supported this creature.

Yesterday, friends set up a GoFundMe account for Carson's girlfriend. They have so far raised $60,000.

Why are they raising money for the girlfriend? She wasn't his wife or family. Why is she entitled to $60,000 (and eventually more)?

Oh no! Anyway…

You know what was more tragic? A few days ago I toasted a bagel, and I didn’t realize the toast setting was too high, and my bagel was over toasted for my liking. RIP bagel.

We, NYC progs included, are all better off with one fewer person attempting to bring his version of heaven to earth.

“Why are they raising money for the girlfriend? “

Not JUST for her!!

It's a shame NY did away with the death penalty. Funny how the pendulum swings, crime and the death penalty got Pataki elected, until he melted into the swamp.

Not just as he is turning his life around, studying religion, working at the shelter to help people.

So the dearly-beloved was a ‘Social Justice Activist’, whatever that is.

Save those tears to lube your poop chute homey. 18 year old like you will be bent over so often you better hope one of the other inmates is a chiropracter.

So the chick gets a dramatic story she can tell. And 60,000 bucks… Typical.
