Not Safe to Walk the Streets
City Journal ^ | 27 Mar 2024 | Seth Barron

Posted on 03/28/2024 5:39:48 AM PDT by Rummyfan

In recent days—deadly ones in New York—another alarming trend has apparently emerged in the city: sudden, violent attacks on young women. The flustered victims, all relatively young and white, report that they were walking down the street in lower Manhattan when a passerby punched them in the face. Videos on TikTok are made on the fly, immediately after the attack, and show women in a state of shock, some with bruises, some crying, some just flabbergasted.

“You guys,” says a popular creator named Halley, “I was literally just walking, and a man came up and punched me in the face. Oh my God, it hurts so bad . . . I can’t even talk, I literally fell to the ground.” She laughs suddenly and without humor, baffled by this horrible interaction.

At least a dozen similar videos were made as the attacker (or attackers) made his rounds, evidently in the neighborhood around Union Square. It isn’t clear if police were called; since the damage in many cases appears minor, it’s unlikely that serious charges could be brought, in any case. This sort of crime at best can be charged as misdemeanor assault. A few years ago, after I was punched by a drunk stranger on the sidewalk, the NYPD strongly discouraged me from pursuing charges. The police eventually charged my assailant with harassment, a violation.

I bet you $1 million that if you went up and randomly punched Nancy Pelosi the police wouldn’t encourage her to drop the charges!

Different rules for different groups

Absolutely.
They will tell you this themselves, although they’ll hate you for asking.
It doesn’t matter how bad the other consequences of their voting get. “choice” trumps them all. It’s cult-like

This is a circumstance where new legislation is in order.

Make a new law targeting these cowards. Put teeth in it.

No, it isn’t. Equality under the law.

There is no law....... that’s the problem.

Progressive values promote freedom from laws and civilization. The result is random attacks on women on city streets.

This is why you carry. Concealed means concealed. And a nice J frame 38+p doesn’t spew brass everywhere.

“Progressive culture has promoted the pernicious idea that calling the police, especially on a black perpetrator, is a violent act.”

As close as they get to admitting the ethnicity of the perps.

Try to do something about it and leftist “activists” will claim racism and the simp politicians will run and hide under their desks. At some point the law has to come down. All blacks aren’t like this, but certainly enough are where it shouldn’t be a shock if the public at large started to notice and take action.

That’s not what I’m talking about.

Any crime can be successfully punished by law. All it takes is the right language.

Your attempt to advocate for these criminals is weak, and it will profit you nothing.

“At least they can still get abortions”

At least you had a 4-year reprieve from Orange Man raping you or stealing your money.

It’s called assault. It’s always been a crime.

Women voting created this society in its current shithole form.
Women lack accountability.
You are clearly a woman. You are not special.

I’ve never been to NYC and never want to. What’s the draw?
