Heard this yesterday. Her Family should have Standing and Grounds for a Multi Million Dollar Civil Suit for the wrongful death. I have seen these scooters, there is NOT a Single Warning Sticker on them that says Injury or Death may occur if used as a weapon.

They have a case!!

All true except he was voted in by the veterans committee spearheaded by Mantle, Berra and voted for by such greats as Ted Williams.

He wouldn’t be the first HOFamer who got in through veterans committee.

You know the sportswriters who vote tend to be bigoted toward their favorites too.

This year Mariano Rivera was elected by 100% of the voting writers. That has never happened before, 100%. He certainly deserves it.

BTW. Scooters induction speech is a pisser. He didn’t know when to stop and kept motor mouthing on and on. Finally Yogi got up and walked him off the stage. Pretty funny.

Some neighbors said the scooter was sitting there for several days. They are rental scooters and are all over the city.

Oh. In that case,

OK, he’s probably mentally ill.
But there’s more to the story of such a large percent of homeless being mentally ill.

A fair percent of them got that way via drug use.

If I had to guess to motive, assuming they still haven’t found one yet, I’d say he nearly hit her while riding his scooter and the two got into a nasty argument which then escalated to him ultimately picking up the bike and repeatedly throwing it at her.

Homeless guys don't typically have credit cards with which to rent scooters.

The only good thing is he’ll never be able to harm another innocent person.

I would not bet the farm on that. In fact, the way things are going, he will probably get out in plenty of time to kill again and again.

I didn't know it was a rented scooter. He could have stolen it from someone, or borrowed it from one of his drug dealing friends. Maybe even used his EBT/Food Stamp card to pay for the rental.

$5/month for NYCHA and SNAP

Citi Bike is partnering with Healthfirst to expand access to bike share through a no-commitment, $5 monthly membership for NYCHA residents and SNAP recipients!

Citi Bike is a fun, healthy and affordable way to get around the city. It’s designed for quick trips with convenience in mind, and can be especially helpful in getting you where you need to go when traditional public transit options might be limited.

When you become a member, we’ll send you a key that unlocks thousands of bikes around Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Jersey City. You can take as many rides as you want while your membership is active, and the first 45 minutes of each ride are included in your plan when you ride a Citi Bike classic bike.

When you upgrade your ride to an electric bike, it will be an additional $0.50/ride ($2 for non-Reduced Fare Bike Share Members). Citi Bike electric is temporarily unavailable. See the blog for more details.

SNAP Recipients

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/food stamp) recipients 16 years and older are eligible for a discounted membership of only $5 per month.

Here’s what you need to sign up:

EBT card number (for verification purposes only)

Credit or debit card*

If more than one person in your household wants to sign up, give us a call at 1-855-BIKE-311 and we can help you out.

Join for $5 per month

There’s no annual commitment for NYCHA residents and SNAP recipients. After the first 30 days, you won’t be charged until you ride again (this excludes any upgrades to an electric bike or extra time fees) – putting the power of our pricing in your pocket.

To ride again after your initial 30-day membership expires, simply take your key, or use our mobile phone app to unlock a bike at any station. This will activate your next 30-day membership period for just $5. We don’t auto-renew your membership every 30 days if you don’t ride, so you never have to worry about having to pay for a service you’re not using.

*If you don’t have a credit or debit card, visit a participating Community Development Credit Union to open an account.

In Long Beach the scooters are made and operated by a company called Bird.

You need an app to unlock the scooters and pay for the rides. There are scooters just sitting there on sidewalks throughout the city.
I believe this scooter was just there and this maniac grabbed it and beat this woman to death. A news helicopter overhead later showed the scooter broken in two pieces, that’s how savage the attack was.
