> “She never seemed distraught,” she said of the kids’ mom. “We’d be in the park and she’d put them on the swings. She never displayed no type of behavior like that at all.

CPS can't win.

If they investigate people like this, it's somehow racist, as well as classist (as if picking up your garbage and keeping a tidy household with 1 or 2 childrens books around, is something only upper middle class people are capable of), and the Times runs tear jerkers about 19 year old single mothers of 3 that definitely don't still have an addiction problem, and no longer have custody of their kids.

And if they don't investigate people like this, eventually kids get murdered and then it's CPS's fault.

Can we all just agree that we have no consensus on what we want CPS to actually do?

$22 is a cheap lesson here

Having great parks isn't as useful if they are halfway across the borough or even a 20 minute walk away. Queen has some good ones, they are a long way from a lot of people though.

That said, better transit is more important here.

I'm sure she also feels sorry for the guys begging in traffic on the Deegan, you know, because they're going to buy beans with that money and not fentanyl.

Bike advocates see bussing as weak. Very simple.

I find it really funny that in a public transit system with basically no real rules, only behavior standards, most of which are ignored anyway, we've finally decided after decades to give middle and working class parents a break by allowing them to just ... have ... a stroller on the bus.

Although I'm sure we're now going to have deal with double wides and those $1000 monsterwagons that every parent in the city decks themselves out with before visiting places with tiny aisles

Bayside is a haul for me but I like to explore. Any other cool things to see or do? Restaurants worth traveling for?

What is your point? There's photos of the alleged perp.

There's basically no consequences to getting caught though.

No. I posted the whole thing. Maybe it got spam filtered. Fucking useless subreddit

I posted the whole thing in a comment here. That's what we usually do for NYT articles.

It's good people like this exist.

Folks if you're that wasted just hang back by the wall.

> I didn’t do anything to him, so how come he has a grudge against me?”

Complicated question.

Because he is a mentally ill drug addict, most probably with an arrest record the length of a CVS receipt, and we've never seen fit to make him do anything to get treatment or stop stealing or attacking people.

So, he enjoys the freedom to beat pre-teens with a crutch.

Maybe one day he will graduate to shoving women in front of the N train! Who knows. The world is Jamal McIlwain's oyster.

Sounds like the alleged gay bar brick thrower (Sean Kuilan) is gay himself and was attacking the bar not for ideological reasons but because of a personal beef some girl had with the bar.

Just goes to show you it's not always a hate crime.

> A suspect was busted Tuesday in the string of attacks on a Hell’s Kitchen gay bar — and allegedly told cops he was just “exacting revenge” on behalf of a gal pal feuding with the club, police said.

> “I’m gay myself,” Kuilan said as he was led out of a police vehicle and escorted into court in handcuffs on Tuesday evening.

Police investigators are seeking suspects in a homicide weeks after a 45-year-old man was beaten by about 30 people on ATVs and dirt bikes on East 125th Street in East Harlem, the police said on Wednesday.

The man, whom police identified as Arthur Cooke, was driving east at around 10 p.m. on Nov. 4 when someone in the group struck the passenger-side mirror on his vehicle, the Police Department said. When he got out to inspect the damage, riders began beating him.

Mr. Cooke was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem, where he was pronounced dead on Nov. 18 from blunt force trauma to his neck and spine, according to the department.

Dirt bikes and ATVs are illegal in the city, but the city had been grappling for years with the vehicles. Avenues and streets throughout Manhattan are periodically taken over by swarms of riders popping wheelies, performing stunts and videotaping themselves amid a deafening roar.

The takeovers sometimes devolve into violence. In March, a group of dirt bikers dragged a man and his adult son out of their car in Harlem and beat them after the driver accidentally hit one of the bikers.

And in 2013, after a chase ended in the beating of an S.U.V. driver, residents in communities in Harlem, the Bronx, Washington Heights and Inwood began voicing frustrations that the city was ignoring the dangers posed by groups driving the illegal vehicles.

Last year, after several incidents of violence from such groups, the city began cracking down, and a lawmaker proposed legislation to increase fines for those operating the vehicles.

In June, Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced that the city was ramping up the fight to remove the vehicles from the streets. The Police Department had confiscated over 2,000 ATVs and dirt bikes citywide, Commissioner Sewell said, about 80 percent more than during the same time in 2021.

“They are not only a nuisance and an annoyance to us, but they’re extremely dangerous,” Mr. Adams said at the time.

Man Dies After Beating by Swarm of ATV and Dirt Bike Riders

> Arthur Cooke died two weeks after the attack from injuries to his neck and spine. The city has been fighting a yearslong battle against the noisy vehicles and their riders.

> The suspect, who appeared to be homeless, was described as 6'5" tall, wearing all black, official said.

Probably has a giant record and should have been imprison for 5 years now.

Random women slashed on the subway is the price we pay for not punishing other types of crime.

Progressives: hate police until they need them.

> I hope more people in those communities understand it’s a blessing to live close to someone who was homeless yesterday

It's really not. As "people in those communities" understand extremely well.

You turnstile hopped on PATH? Lol there are always cops there.

Pay the fine, this is just a citation, it's not going on your record. No company will see this or know.

Luckily that big ass red jacket will be easy to identify. That is, if anyone at NYPD cares, which they don't.
