...sightseeing in Atlanta when Christopher Patrick Brooklin, 28, allegedly pushed the mother without provocation.

The word ‘hero’ is often misused, this is what it looks like.

"...exactly what you thought..."


This sure raises the stakes of the “knockout game” with the predictable participants.

They never have surveillance at transit stations. That’s probably why we aren’t seeing any video showing him ambush her and shove her onto the tracks.

I’d like to see that evil punk tied to some RR tracks on a freight line and left for dead.

Brooklin, the man accused of pushing Sue Wenszell, is in the Fulton County Jail on charges of aggravated assault and battery, MARTA police told AJC.com.

Why is this not attempted murder?!

What gives with the dindu’s and subway platforms. I had one aspiring rapper try this with me on the Washington metro at the L’Enfant Plaza Station. Lots of people so he could blend in fast. Like this guy, runty, hal-a*sed mustache wearing a hoody .

It's stories like this that make me question how we handle "mentally ill" (to quote the words in the article) people in our society. There used to be a time when they were institutionalized and thus not able to be a threat to others.

Also, if the races were reversed, I would think the exact same way. Not to mention that if the races were reversed, this would be dominating the news cycle for weeks and somehow used against Trump.

He was smart to do it in Atlanta, one of the few places in Georgia where black-on-white crime is tolerated.
