Defund the police. Keep it going we needs more of this.
imagine how the family of the victim feels, & people still want to shut down Rikers Island. Open the cages and all the animals comes out. These are violent criminals being let loose.
Could be a resident from the homeless shelter around there.
“There was no known motive for the attack.”
No, of course not. What could POSSIBLY be the motive? It’s a mystery.
