NEW YORK CITY — Debrina Kawam, a 61-year-old resident of Toms River, New Jersey, was identified this week as the victim of a gruesome attack in which she was burned to death aboard an F train in Brooklyn on Dec. 22, police said.

Toms River Mayor Dan Rodrick expressed outrage over the crime, calling for a reinstatement of the death penalty in New York and New Jersey. “The states of New York and New Jersey need to bring back the death penalty,” Rodrick said. “We should at least be able to have the death penalty for those who are caught on video committing these heinous murders. People like that cannot be rehabilitated.”

“People convicted of such heinous crimes, caught on video like this, should be put down like a rabid animal once convicted,” Rodrick said. “Why should society pay potentially millions of dollars to keep people like this alive? There is no room in our civilized society for behavior like this.”

Exactly NY and NJ are blue states. No death penalty applied. Might be an exception if the perp wore a MAGA hat though.

Not exactly. More like stolen elections and rigged systems don’t give us what we voted for. For example, someone on Biden’s staff just commuted the death penalty of almost every killer in federal prison. We didn’t vote for that.

The killer was an illegal migrant and thus should be charged with a Federal crime.

Hispanic illegal alien MURDERS A BLACK WOMAN.

MEDIA YAWNS.

The NY COP who stood by and did NOTHING as this woman burned should be PROSECUTED FOR NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE !!! He could have at LEAST thrown his jacket on her in an attempt to smother the flames BUT HE DID NOTHING BUT ACT DISINTERESTED.

COP DIDN'T WANT TO RUIN HIS JACKET?

She was likely wearing polyester clothing. If Juan squirted lighter fluid or 100 vodka on her she was toast. If people wear cotton it is very hard to set on fire.
Cotton pants and shirts were recommended for safety when working high voltage power. It will smolder but not like poly/plastic. Wool is also fire resistant.

what is worse than the perp watching what he did than the cop also watching what he did and DOING NOTHING! This cop should be fired and brought up on charges of refusing his oath as a police officer

The fact remains that the cop DID NOTHING but stand there and watch this woman die. He should be IMMEDIATELY FIRED and prosecuted for criminal negligence.
