@he strikes again According to CU safety, the same guy robbed 2 more people on Thursday night.
@this is getting ridiculous. stabbings and this
@Nathan Hall NYC gun laws only take guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens and put them right in the hands of criminals. If I had my colt 45 and this guy tried to rob me… well lets just say he won’t be bothering anyone else…
@hobbes thou wouldst live in the STATE of NATURE, fiend
@Anonymous I love the graphic. Nice choice, bwog.
@Sprinkles That’s pretty audacious territory for the average robber. It’s barely nighttime at 7 PM.
@McFister Yeah, but students are easy prey
@only no victims were students. He attempted to rob a woman with a 9-year old daughter in Riverside. He then hit the Christian Science Reading room and church (he actually interrupted a service after he robbed the woman in the office). He then hit a female that lives in the area, but is not a student. He then attempted to rob a middle-aged male doctor. All this within an hour.
@Wait Are you talking about the building right next to lionsgate?
@McFister Sounds like he had a good time.
@megu there was a nice helicoptor search of morningside park, it’s rather amusing to watch them hop over EC to do another round.
@a clean shaven teenage black male?! In Morningside Park?! NO WAY!!! How have they still not caught him?! He must stand out like a sore thumb in that neighborhood!
@umm What is the point of your comment?
@McFister A black man came into the neighborhood to rob white people? Big surprise there.
@Hmm Pretty ballsy, considering where they occurred and the time of day. Hopefully it’s not the start of a trend.
@don't think so It was my wife that was mugged 3rd. He didn’t actually show it to any of the 4 victims. However, it isn’t the kind of thing that I like to gamble on.
@DHI Any word on if this short robber dude actually had a gun?
