Veteran, 83, allegedly shoved onto NYC subway tracks dies from injuries; illegal migrant charged with murder

An 83-year-old veteran who was allegedly shoved onto subway tracks in New York City by an illegal immigrant with a long criminal history has died from his injuries, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday.

Richard Williams, a retired Air Force pilot, died March 17 after he and another man were allegedly pushed onto the tracks at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Station days earlier.

The alleged attacker, Honduran national Bairon Posada-Hernandez, 34, was arrested March 10 and faces a murder charge.

John Pena, 30, the other man allegedly pushed onto the tracks, helped pull Williams back onto the platform moments before a train rolled into the station, the New York Post reported.

After the attack, Williams was taken to a hospital, where doctors said he suffered a brain bleed and underwent surgery. He had no brain activity after the procedure, doctors said.

Williams' death has been ruled a homicide.

"I want him to go to the Venezuela prison, the worst place he could go to," his daughter, Debbie Williams, previously told the newspaper. "I want him to suffer for the rest of his life. Prison justice would be appropriate."

She said her father had recently won a five-year battle with prostate cancer six months ago.

Psychologists have asked men in prison how they choose their victims. The victim looks helpless. The victim does not appear to be situationally aware.

I’m 72, walking slowly and with a pronounced limp. I have my head on a swivel when I’m in public. I was knocked unconscious twice in my younger years in what is now called “The Knockout Game.” I hate that I must maintain this level of alertness as it gets tiring. But he who is not alert has grown weary of life.

Many “immigrants” hate the United States and its citizens, but come here to live by harvesting the freebies.

Yeah, he got into the guy’s space and startled him. What else is he supposed to do except shove him onto the tracks?

Has a judge released the perp without bail yet?

If that keeps up vigilante justice will be served. And on the judges too.

. Leftists plan on bleeding the country and their inhabitants dry.
They plan to take your stuff.
And the government is complicit.
All that no prosecuton for physical and property crime?
That is training for you to accept and comply.
& to train Leftists to kill and take.
And if you don’t remove the leftist criminal justice.
You seal your future. and the country’s downfall

Even if live to be 1000 years old, there are some things like this that I will never understand. Rape is another one.

Thirty four years old, eh? Only a year before he's old enough to be President. He could've been somebody!

Sad that a veteran who fought for this country named Williams, is murdered by a guy with a “z” at the end of his name and who’s here illegally.

I live in a blue area, and the people around me just don’t see a problem. If I mention it, I get those looks like: “There goes crazy old uncle brownsfan again”.
