The men involved in the New York subway shooting this week were nonwhite. That creates a problem for the pro-crime left.
During a press conference immediately following the incident, subway system CEO and Chairman Janno Lieber rushed to get ahead of any obvious questions about how and why this happened. “When you bring a gun on the train and you start a fight, it’s just — it’s not right and it’s absolutely outrageous,” he said. “That’s what happened here. Someone brought a gun on the train and started a fight. That’s why we need to keep fighting against guns.”
Suffice it to say, that is not what happened here.
At the start of rush hour on Thursday, according to New York police, a 36-year-old black man, identified by reports as Dajuan Robinson, approached a 32-year-old male passenger in a “provocative” and “aggressive” manner. Bystander video, which circulated on social media, shows Robinson yelling at the man, whom he apparently believed to be of Latin descent, “I’ll beat you up,” “F-ck your kind,” and “F-ck your race.”
Police said that at some point, Robinson had displayed either a knife or blade. The 32-year-old, who had been seated, then stood to square up against his aggressor. The two circled each other for a moment before a brawl broke out. Shortly into the fight, a woman approached Robinson from behind and stabbed his lower back at least once. In the video, Robinson’s shirt visibly turned red with blood, and after the two men were separated by yet another male passenger, Robinson struggled to maintain balance. “You stabbed me,” he said, adding, “I’m bleeding,” and, “I got you.”

Tolerance....
“Those who are kind to the cruel
will in the end
be cruel to the kind.”

And what’s really great, it strengthens the argument to disarm the population! A win-win!

Not to speak is to speak.
Not to act is to act.”

Paul Kersey : Nothing to do but cut and run, huh? What else? What about the old American social custom of self-defense? If the police don’t defend us, maybe we ought to do it ourselves.
Jack Toby : We’re not pioneers anymore, Dad.
Paul Kersey : What are we, Jack?
Jack Toby : What do you mean?
Paul Kersey : I mean, if we’re not pioneers, what have we become? What do you call people who, when they’re faced with a condition or fear, do nothing about it, they just run and hide?
Jack Toby : Civilized?
Paul Kersey : No.
Death Wish screenplay.
Great memory. Thanks for that.
To stop bad guys with guns we need more good guys with guns.
Had two nurse's say they carried. They of course were not given permission to carry,,,but they worried about their security..and the patients.
I still work there,,,and I carry.
I've always felt like Hospitals are "killing fields" if some nut wants to kill people.
We need Bernie Goetz to patrol the subway.
But when a gun’s involved, we can’t live with it.”
Yeah, moron, it’s called an armed society is a POLITE society.
I agree. Hospitals are not secure places. Generally speaking anyone can go in and wander around.
From a self defense perspective, this case is not cut and dry. A man starts a fight with another man. No weapons involved. No great disparity between the two. A third person stabs the man who started the fight. The stabbed man pulls a gun, possibly to keep from being stabbed again. Man he was fighting with takes his gun and shoots him. That’s pretty convoluted.
Lawlessness “collides” with ‘tolerance and diversity’ the way Rosemary’s Baby ‘collided’ with Rosemary.

Good one.
Trouble with trying to stay in the middle of the road is you get run over by a semi.
According to DOJ crime statistics, guns are used 2.5 million times a year to prevent violent crimes, 98%+ of the time without a shot being fired.
They want to take away our guns and defund the police.
Sounds like a plan.
when a black man pulls out a gun and shoots and kills, the media immediately says it was a legal conceal carry and the issue of an illegal firearm is taken off the table without question, even though they are talking out their a##es. White guy with a gun not so much
THAT is why I carry...I could get fired for it...I suppose. But I don't care.

Something went terribly wrong somewhere along the way
