So a bunch of garbage punks are rioting continuously up and down the street, nobody possesses a lick of sense in their head enough to walk away, and we're supposed to suspend disbelief in these obvious witnesses that nobody saw a thing. Okydokey.
These idiots knew exactly what they were doing, people knew there was intent to murder, everyone slamming into cars parked along the road, people standing around with broom handles, because someone 'disrespected' a girl, someone else 'disrespected' a grandmother, and no one sees a problem here? New York and their cashless bail system only encourages these idiots to riot, behave like animals, outright brawl in the street, without a single sane adult in sight, and no parenting to be found. That these law enforcement officers actually have the nerve to say this was some sort of 'one off' would be hysterical if it wasn't completely grotesque. Or saying none of these witnesses saw a single thing because their focus was elsewhere? The victim came out of nowhere and straight coldcocked a guy in the head numerous times and was playing a dangerous game of FAFO- if you really want to save these kids, start charging parents with neglect, endangerment and abuse. Force these monstrous narcissists to parent their kids and a good chink of these issues vanish. I'm truly sorry this young man died but you cannot expect to live a long life when you're constantly trying to play stupid prizes.
Second degree murder is an insult- this murderous thug will be out on the street within 10-12 years and is is absolutely abhorrent and in no way any type of deterrent to others committing the same crimes.
