An apparent argument over not saying “thank you” for opening the door of a Brooklyn smoke shop ended with a 37-year-old man fatally stabbed late Tuesday.

It happened around 10:20 p.m. at Park Slope Convenience on 4^th Avenue in Park Slope.

“It was just about not saying ‘thank you’ for opening the door for him,” employee Kharef Alsaidi said as he reopened the bodega.

Alsaidi said the victim opened the door for the suspect and then asked, “Why don’t you say, ‘Thank you for opening the door’?”

The suspect responded, “I didn’t tell you to open the door for me.”

The verbal dispute quickly escalated to a physical altercation that spilled outside the store, and the victim is said to have taunted the suspect, telling him, “Stab me if you can do it.” …

"You're a daisy if you do."

He’s probably already out on low or no bail.

Both of these guys were looking for a fight. Both of these guys found one. One guy lost.

Welcome to the new "Mad Max" dystopia.

New York doormen are not to be trifled with.

[Brilliant]

NYers are generally rude.

From the article:

“The suspect biked away south on the 4th Avenue.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation in ongoing”

Couple of tough guys - one is now dead and the other is going to jail(maybe).

[SuperLuminal]

No charges are called for...

Guys duked it out and the victim seems (from the video) to have been the major aggressor...

Would have been more exciting if the bike guy had been hit by a vehicle as he pedaled away from the scene and, as a result, fallen on his knife...

Off topic but what’s that saying? If an actor elicits an emotional reaction it’s good acting?

That doorman character in that episode needed his ass kicked up and down the block a few times....what a jackass.

Musta been good acting. 😏

[Bullish]

Oh, thanks.

Pisses ya off.....don’t it?

They are rude, but they are also very obediant to the government. When DeBlasio told them to jump, all they asked was how high and for how long. They kissed old Coumo’s ass too even after he sent their parents and grandparents to die of covid in nursing homes.
The image of the rough tough New Yorker is forever gone. I personally have no more respect for citizens of NYC.

If there is one thing potheads insist on, its public courtesy and decorum.

Larry Miller is great. I laugh every time he turns up in a show.

As a comedian Larry Miller is hilarious....that character however....what a dick
