NYU student, ex-Korean marine paralyzed from waist down after crash with armed carjackers

A New York University student and South Korea Marine Corps veteran was left paralyzed from the waist down after armed carjackers crashed into his Uber in South Philadelphia last month.

Finance major Junoh Kim, 23, was less than a month into his summer analyst role at New York City-based M&A adviser Klema Capital when the carjackers rammed into his Uber while fleeing police on June 23 near the University of Pennsylvania, according to a GoFundMe page organized by his loved ones.

“Junoh is currently paralyzed in his lower body from waist down and has limited use of his hands (left is stronger than his right),” the fundraiser reads. “The extent to his recovery is uncertain, but we will remain hopeful.”

*** He was a marine sergeant and military interpreter in South Korea before leaving to pursue his bachelor’s degree at NYU’s Stern School of Business in 2022, according to his LinkedIn profile. ***

The carjackers stopped to refuel, crossed a median strip and sped onto I-76 before losing control of the vehicle, police said.

The BMW subsequently slammed into Kim’s Uber at the intersection near the 3800 block of Spruce Street and hit a tree, according to cops.

Four men from the stolen vehicle were arrested, police said: two 15-year-olds, one 16-year-old and 30-year-old Antoinne Patton of Philadelphia.

The teens were hit with aggravated assault, carjacking and related charges; Patton was charged with criminal conspiracy and related counts.

The “journalist” forget to include Anoinne Patton’s picture in the story. The “journalist” also forgot to mention that Antoinne Patton was arrested in early June for a series of robberies. He of course was released on those charges due to “equity.”

This is literally ON the Univ. of Pennsylvania Campus. 38th street is a busy street full of cars and shops and students walking around. The thugs and their stolen car could have just as easily jumped a curb and ran over 15 people.

The media does a lot of coverup for certain segments of our society. Just like they covered up Joe Biden’s decline.

I don’t believe the Chinese are truly that smart.

They only copy and cheat.

Imagine if the MSM ran a world IQ map story. Notice that there is a substantial difference between Northern Africa and the sub Saharan Africa.

Good point. You don't even need the map to know that there's a difference between Northern Africa and Southern Africa.
