"Modern women must learn that they are the weaker and vulnerable gender when it comes down to brass tacks."

Don't you know that a 5' 100# girl can easily beat the cr@p out of a 6' 200# male? I see it all the time on TV shows. Too bad females believe that stuff. A drunk young girl in a halter top and miniskirt lost in a bad section of NYC at 4 AM. It's like feeding time at the zoo.

What a horrible, sad story. Such a cute girl.

GET DROP DEAD DRUNK

GET RAPED

GET DEAD

It needs to be repeated over and over, they should show slideshows like this at highschools

But, but Michelle McPhee of the Boston Herald says that it's perfectly safe to walk the streets of the Rotten Apple at all hours. This could have easily have happened to Michael Strahan at noon. YA!

"Coleman - a drifter and small-time pimp with 16 prior arrests for assault, robbery and drug crimes

SIXTEEN ARRESTS? For serious crimes? Only 34 years old?

What was this POS, recidivist, doing walking the streets, a free person (no doubt on probation or parole) in the first place.

His Highness the mayor, BLOOMING-IDIOT, can certainly protect all of its citizens from "second hand smoke," but can he protect them from criminals of this nature?

What say you, Mr. Bleeding Heart, Liberal, RINO, A*hole, Mayor?

He and his sl*t girl friend should BOTH fry.

As an aside, can't wait for O'Reilly to get ahold of this and "out" all of the lib judges who let this dangerous felon walk time and again.

[MikeA]

Wow, even liberal California where I'm from has a 3 strikes law. I don't blame you from wanting to move from that liberal hell hole. I want to move from mine!

Moore used her cell phone at 5:08 a.m. to call her boyfriend, Kofi Boakye, in New Jersey.

Interesting. She was dating an Akan Muslim who is apparently a first generation Ghanaian-American.

Not your typical NJ suburban teenager.

Does NJ have the death penalty? If so,do they use it?

[Rocky]

16 arrests. It doesn't say how many convictions. If just 8 of them resulted in a 5-year sentence each, this guy would have been in jail for 40 years. The judicial system is way too lenient in some states on offenders with multiple convictions.

[wideawake]

In fact, it wasn't even so much a "bad" neighborhood as a completely empty, abandoned area by the side of a highway.

Basically, she chose to put herself in this kind of danger rather than accompany her ill friend to the hospital and risk detection by her parents.

It's amazing what teens reflexively prioritize.

The same NYC where within 2 weeks two separate lunatics went on a spree. one on a stabbing spree, one attacked a passenger on the Subway in broad daylight with a chainsaw.


Right after, I rode in an elevator w/ a bike messeger who saw my NY Post with the headline of the stabbing spree. He said, "man, there are f***ing crazy people out there".

You never know.

Caused me some problems in my transition to the South since everyone here says, "Hi," and smiles at everyone.

LOL. I lived in Texas for two years and encountered the same thing. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.

[deputac]

Tough to blame the mayor on this one, the NY legislature year after year refuses to pass laws to get these guys off the street. The uprorar going on right now over keeping predicate sex offenders locked up for good under civil confinement laws is keeping the ACLU and NYCLU busy causing trouble and filing briefs on behalf of this state's resident dirt bags.

[wideawake]

NJ has a death penalty.

No one has been executed in NJ since 1976.

There are only 13 people on death row in NJ.

UPDATE: A New York judge refused to waive extradiction to New Jersey Friday. A New Jersey judge signed an arrest warrant Thursday charging Coleman, 35, of New York City, with the slaying of a New Jersey teen. New York police officers had taken Coleman into custody at a dive hotel in Manhattan. (1010wins.com)

Yeah, but the only reason we have a 3-strike law is because it was an initiative. The gutless liberal legislature would never do something like that - after all it limits their voter base.

Plus, everytime you turn around there is some do-gooder wringing their hands about how some poor unfortunate who didn't know any better fell afoul of the "awful" 3-strikes law.

Eternal vigilance is the price of democracy.

I just smiled and made eye contact with everyone.

Not a good idea at all.

NYC always will have a large number of insane people on its streets - there are 8M people and a large number of mental hospitals are located in NYC.

The subway stabber and Mr. Chainsaw are hard to prevent - nutbags snap when they snap.

What we don't hear about much any more is the sane guy with a knife systematically robbing four or five people every other night on various subway lines.

That guy of guy used to be disturbingly common in NYC.

My nephew and I were in Times Square just last weekend.We spotted a guy crossing the street who was dressed from head to toe in green trash bags.

I couldn't for the life of me convince my nephew that the way the guy was dressed indicated that he had a very serious psychiatric problem.

Coleman has been in and out of prison since 1997, a spokeswoman for the New York State Department of Corrections said. He was sentenced in December 1997 to three to six years for attempted drug distribution, which he served until June 2002. He violated parole three times -- in September 2002, July 2003 and January 2005 -- and was sent back to prison.

His last parole violation occurred on Jan. 11, 2005, the spokeswoman said. Prison officials were forced to release him two weeks later when his original sentence was completed, she said.

In November 2001, Coleman was disciplined for violent conduct and assaulting an inmate, she said.

Hotel resident Antonio Hernandez said Coleman was on the prowl for group sex and regularly asked whether he knew any women who would join him and his girlfriend.

"He asked me if my lady was into that and interested, and I said 'No way.' He said he was going to go to New York to try to find a girl," Hernandez said. "He also wanted crack cocaine, but I said I didn't know about that stuff."

Hernandez said he last saw Coleman about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday lugging a large garbage bag over his shoulder. "He said, 'I'm getting out of here,' " Hernandez said.

Coleman, whom he described as tall -- about 6 feet 2 inches, muscular and dark-skinned -- then returned to pick up a large duffel bag and suitcase, Hernandez said.

"All the bags were very big," he said.

Hernandez also said he noticed this week that the Coleman's hands were bruised and swollen.

"He said he got into a fight with some kids in New York," he said. "He said he started it."

Words Fail...

Thankfully my parents were over-the-top strict...even before cell phones...they knew where I was, who I was with...and coming home 1 minute after curfew was not an option. Having two older brothers didn't hurt either. Although I was constantly embarrased by being the only 18/19/20 year-old with a curfew...I am now a parent of two young boys...and I certainly understand why my parents did what they did. I am sure it wasn't easy for them to look at my surly sour-puss...all the while knowing that they were doing their jobs as parents. Prayers for this family.
