No Daniel Pennys: Migrant sets woman on fire in New York subway as cops bumble and Gov. Hochul touts making subway 'safer'
American Thinker ^ | 12/22/2024 | Monica Showalter

In a grotesque confluence of all the horrid doings in wokester New York City, a Guatemalan migrant brazenly set a woman on fire in broad daylight in the New York subway just to watch her burn, and no Daniel Pennys came forward to stop the barbaric crime.

According to the New York Post:

A Guatemalan migrant has been arrested for allegedly lighting a sleeping subway rider on fire in Brooklyn on Sunday morning — then watching as his innocent victim burned to death in what the police commissioner called “one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit.”

The savage killing — which happened at about 7:30 a.m. on an idling F train at Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station — shocked commuters, MTA workers and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who said Sunday that the heinous crime “took the life of an innocent New Yorker.”

“As the train pulled into the station, the suspect calmly walked up to the victim, who was in a seated position at the end of a subway car … and used what we believe to be a lighter to ignite the victim’s clothing, which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds,” Tisch said at a press conference.

Patrolling cops smelled and saw the smoke, then followed it to the flame-covered woman, the commissioner said. 

They extinguished the blaze, but the victim died at the scene.

Horrifying video obtained by The Post showed the suspect calmly looking on as flames consumed the still-unidentified woman, who stood inside the open subway car door.

A demented psychopath burned a homeless woman alive on the NYC subway today.
Based on his clothing, he appears to be the one sitting on the bench watching his victim burn.
She died.@hakeemjeffries, this happened in your district.

The individual who is accused of doing it, is reportedly an illegal border surger from Guatemala, probably let into the country under Joe Biden's catch and release, as a gotaway, or through some kind of skeevy migrant parole program as an "asylum seeker." He may have had his case dismissed as so many millions have.

police commissioner correctly stated that “one of the most depraved governors and worthless constabulary that could possibly exist.”

It’s beyond me why we waste time with these perps, what we need now is a Charles Bronson.

He reportedly came into country in 2018
But was supposed to be deported last year.
Details are still sketchy.

Advise to people living in New York City - stop voting for Democrats or die regretting it.

Starting with the mayor of New York City, no politician should have car service. Force them all to take mass transit.

But the individual who is accused of doing it, is reportedly an illegal border surger from Guatemala, probably let into the country under Joe Biden's catch and release, as a got away, or through some kind of skeevy migrant parole program as an "asylum seeker."

I read that he illegally crossed the border in 2018 during the Trump administration. Not sure if he was caught and released or caught and deported and only to return thanks to Obiden.

What's more, as the cops slouched by, no one stepped in to try to put out the fire or rescue the victim.

Yet the very same article states, "Patrolling cops smelled and saw the smoke, then followed it to the flame-covered woman, the commissioner said. They extinguished the blaze, but the victim died at the scene."

One cop bumblingly told the accused murderer, sitting on the subway station bench in order to gloatingly watch the crime, to move along, rather than collar him.

Ok, and how would the cops know that this dirtbag is the perp? Was he wearing a sign that said, "I did it," was he hummiong "Come on baby light my fire"?

I generally like the American Thinker, but in this case the cop bashing is unnecessary and unsupported by the article.

This depraved and cruel piece of manure deserves to be executed, but NY doesn’t have a death penalty. This is the world that democrats have given NY.

Let the deporting begin!

“No Daniel Pennys?”

Not even people willing to take off their own coats to smother the flames.

Please, if you haven’t seen the video, don’t watch it. I saw her standing and moving in the doorway, as a policeman walked by. I can’t tolerate that image, but I’ll never be rid of it.

‘Details’ will of course remain sketchy, too

Bet on it!

The cop should have told the perp to stay put for questioning as a witness, even if the cop didn’t think he was a suspect. Telling him to move along is the typical mentality of a lazy, ignorant cop.

I agree. It doesn’t exactly paint a clear picture of what happened.

That’s what is missing from the reporting.

You’d think some reporter would have found out by now.

If this animal was here illegally, Biden is accessory to this woman's gruesome death along with Mayorkas and every other politician that has worked to keep the border open.

This demonic POS deserves not only the death penalty but to die the same way as his victim.

Governor Kathy Hochul:

In March, I took action to make our subways safer for the millions of people who take the trains each day.

Since deploying the National Guard safety efforts and adding cameras to all subway cars, crime is going down, and ridership is going up.

F509-DD84-256-D-4148-89-EF-D07764-DE8760

I was just in NY City, rode the subway all over Manhattan and didn't see a single National Guardsman - maybe they were no longer needed since the governor declared the subway system "safe."

This heinous crime was 100% preventable. Now, go get 'em Homan.
