A career criminal with more than 100 arrests to his name was busted for cruelly shoving a 92-year-old woman into a Manhattan fire hydrant leaving his victim too scared to walk alone in her own neighborhood. The injured elder, a Bronx native named Geraldine, spoke to The Post on Tuesday after cops arrested convicted sex offender Rashid Brimmage, 31, and charged him with attacking her. I thought a brick hit me or something hit me on the left side of my head, and I went right down and hit my head against the hydrant, Geraldine, who asked that her last name be withheld for safety reasons, said of the attack. Blood was coming out, not spurting blood, but blood was dripping. Geraldine, who has lived in Manhattan for more than 50 years, was on her way to Duane Reade when Brimmage allegedly shoved her to the ground near Third Avenue and East 16th Street in Gramercy Park at about 3:30 p.m. Friday. She slammed against the fire hydrant and lay on the ground until a passerby called 911 and medics rushed her to nearby Beth Israel Hospital. The former teacher, who never married but is dating an 89-year-old lawyer, said her physical wounds were relatively minor and have since healed but the mental toll has been much more severe.

Geraldine would agree with you. She probably attended Bernsteins black panther parties.
THUGS....we have MORE THUGS than we EVER have in this country!! BAD PARENTING and BAD TEACHERS!
You know what they say, “100 strikes and you’re...ok”
This mess really grew under bammy. And yet, if you call out All Lives Matter, you’re a racist.
As they say, a new conservative is a liberal who has just been mugged.
there are people stabbed in NYC, now dead never got
justice because they were white.
they went to the police station, saw the perps with
the police and NOTHING happened.
they are dead now.
how many women did this bastard murder and rape.
how much did the blackrobes get to let him out.
Too bad there was no video of the incident, then we would know for sure. /sarc
This profile matches exactly that of a mentally-ill, homeless, drug-addict.
This is the problem in Seattle, Portland, LA and elsewhere. Living on the street and using drugs means they have accumulated many dozens of charges from public order to theft. Liberal DAs and mayors refuse to deal with them, either through jail or forced treatment. So they are released every time.
BLM doesnt apply at Planned Parenthood and other abortion factories. I guess, since Im Pro-Life, I must be racist because Im convinced All Lives Matter!

A fist to the face is not a shove.
only a matter of time before Rashid kills...
we need an immigration moratorium NOW.

This man needs to be put in a mental hospital indefinitely.
His past crimes and assaults are “not for profit” - they appear random and without reason. I suspect that his jail records would likely reflect this too.
In summary, he needs to be indefinitely committed to a mental institution to protect society. He will be “locked up” longer there than he will be in a jail or prison as the criminal justice system is incapable of keeping people like him because they typically receive plea bargains that account for their mental condition (or lack thereof) to just move the case through the system. They go in to jail for a short stay and they come back out and inevitably re-offend.
Rinse and repeat. Clearly the criminal justice system is not the answer here.
Yes, I was mightily pissed off watching the video too.
See post 15 above.
You are right.
We have some seriously cracked eggs walking around in public throughout the United States, but it is particularly bad in certain cities.
You cannot fix them with incarceration because they are only in for a short time. They are crazy and pose a continual danger to society.
Civil commitment.
Bad parenting. Probably. But bad teachers? Ann, what you saw in that video happens to teachers every day. I myself was once hit so hard that it knocked me over, and I had to go to the hospital.
No teacher likes that. And no teacher teaches it as acceptable behavior.
So why does it happen, in schools anyway? Like with society in general, in schools bad behavior is excused away. Principals get bonuses - and promotions - by limiting suspensions. So a kid who would have been thrown out of school in the old days is now sent right back to class, with a note telling the teacher to call home.
And woe to the teacher who calls the police to report a violent incident. We were told that calling the police was a firing offense. And that was because you werent going through the proper channels. Of course, when you go through the proper channels everything was hushed up.
Yes, todays curriculum is weak. Things like manners and citizenship arent taught anymore. But teachers no longer have any input on whats being taught. That all comes from central administration.
Black assaults White woman. Not “SHOVING”!
I guess there is a place for a choke hold
C'mon man -- who among us hasn't pushed a 92 year old woman into a fire hydrant? If you let this influence your vote in November, you're just not black! /sarc
