My Goodness, the Perp is not a "Youth"!

A Big Apple straphanger was repeatedly slammed in the head with a metal pipe at a Queens subway station — the latest example of the recent outburst of violence in the city’s troubled transit system.
The latest underground assault took place shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday at the Queensboro Plaza station when a thug walked up to the 31-year-old victim and struck him in the head “multiple times” in an unprovoked attack, according to police.
The bearded attacker then fled, leaving the victim unconscious.
He was taken to New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center to be treated for several cuts to his head and was listed in stable condition, police said Monday.
The assault is just the latest in a recent outbreak of underground violence in the city subways, as New Yorkers continue to worry about their safety in the transit system.

We don’t need more “thoughts and prayers” for victims of subway violence. Congress needs to get off its ass and ban subways.
Yeah, we can figure that out.
Victim is White, professional/white-collar
I’ll bet $100 on it.
There’s an ocean of resentment flowing through places like NYC
Remember the government says people shouldn’t drive so much and take the train instead.
Even if there is a train it’s too dangerous to take.
Maybe they want everyone to be beaten over the head.
It’s to save the Ert you see.
Vote Democrat!
It’s the Left’s wet dream that everyone, except them, of course, use public transportation. But then came all the Covid restrictions which, if you followed them, made public transport impossible. In order to make public transport attractive that anyone other than the super-poor uses it, it would need to be clean, and, above all, safe. When I was in New York in the eighties, I did not feel safe. It was probably as safe as it ever could be under Guliani. Given the governmental support of the BLM terrorists, it will never be safe enough. Nor will it ever recover no matter how well patrolled it might be. Not given our present all-whites-are-evil government. Also, you have to get rid of the homeless. Given that the homeless have turned into a profitable NGO industry where NGO presidents pull down in excess of 800k, it will only grow worse with time. Essentially, the cities are dead zones.
Sooner or later, Paul Kersey is going to get back on his saddle and ride.
That is so true. I saw the picture and immediately thought “Why is Grady beating people up”?
Just wait until food gets scarce.
My Goodness, the Perp is not a "Youth"!
“I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn’t sleep…”
Yep pure ghetto jealousy.
If I lived in New York City, I would be happy just to "wake up ..."
Whoops ... my understanding is that it's forbidden to call our darker brethren "thugs" ...
Bernie Goetz happened in 1984. That’s how long they have been looking to disarm citizens, and punish them for defending themselves.
Am I the only one that has never seen the term ‘straphanger’?
Why didn’t they just use the term ‘man’ or ‘person’?
“Straphanger” is a perfectly promulent term.
I’ve seen the term thousands of times, but then I used to live in New York.
It places the victim right on the subway, which used to have actual leather straps for passengers to hang on to, so it works for me.
