The takeaway from this incident is that the public safety authorities in Manhattan allowed a clearly dangerous criminal with a long and violent record to be on the streets in the first place. After the attack on the 60 year-old woman, the same authorities let this scumbag go and only arrested him after the video of a bystander went public and there was a massive outcry. In other words, the public is now having to do the job of the prosecutorial powers in New York. Think about that.
The other takeaway is that, at 58, I am only 2 years away from being “elderly.” Wow.
