I didn’t see who hit him.“It worries me for when we close because we close at 11 and it can get scary around that time,” said the woman, who asked to be identified only as Nat. The NYPD released surveillance photos of the alleged attacker, a bearded man wearing a baseball cap, a blue T-shirt and black sweatpants.Cont.

Many of these people of color engaged in this atrocious behavior are men 30-50 yrs old.Why are they engaging in this sort of behavior at this age?I believe that these marginalized men are striking out at a society that they no longer participate in.Their victims are white and asian, and seen by them as 'successful', where as their lives are seen by society as 'useless' and so as a reflection of this, these victims of this unjust socio-economic system see themselves as 'useless'.If we give these men some of their dignity back, in the way of high paying jobs through reparations, this will stop.

>>1294771the "maniac" looks to be in really good shape. wonder how often he does this
but dems say the knockout game isn't real and was made up by fox news? why did they do this to Buscemi and Rick Moranis?
>>1294957>but dems say the knockout game isn't real and was made up by fox newsBecause it isn't, but not for Fox News lack of trying to create a social contagion and fabricate a moral panic.Random acts of violence have literally always been a thing and there was no uptick in violence associated with the period Fox News reported on it, nor has there been any documented trend in attacks associated with a gamified form of random violence.It was a dumber satanic panic. Trying to turn an urban legend into a crime wave.
>>1295352>reddit spacing>no the blacks randomly punching people and randomly force feeding women human shit on the subway is random
>>1295352>It was a dumber satanic panic.besides the video evidence? and massive cultural shifts around men (womens lib, automation) and social interaction in general (pandemic)??
>>1295494the knock out game isn't real. ignore all the cases of blacks assaulting nonblacks
