The deranged nut who tossed flaming liquid at an unsuspecting straphanger also tried to torch a group of commuters at a Manhattan subway station earlier this year, cops said Sunday.

The suspect, Nile Taylor, 49, gave an icy stare to photographers as he was led from Transit District 2 to Manhattan court for arraignment in the weekend case Sunday afternoon.

Taylor was in custody on an assault rap in the fiery Saturday attack on 23-year-old Petrit Alijaj at the Varick Street station in Manhattan when he was identified and charged in a similar Feb. 5 incident at the West 28th Street subway station, too, police said.

Doesn’t he realize by his burning of fossil fuels that he is contributing to global warming

He’s just another cousin of Obeyme doing what they do best.

A straphanger, really? How do you even burn a straphanger?

[Rj Snows]

Horrible city to live in and the jack ass will do it again.

[Macho MAGA Man]

He should be sentenced to having a burning tire put around his neck like they do in South Africa.

[ConservativeMind]

I believe a fitting punishment for him is to burn him alive.

I understand that Greta Thunberg has already admonished him. That should be enough to set him straight.

Shouldn’t be called a Straphanger.

If the labels on Land-O-Lakes products were offensive to Indian people and the Washington Redskins ...

And Aunt Jemima Pancake mix and Syrup ...

I AM OFFENDED !!!

In case there was any doubt

He should be burned at the stake.

One of Obama’s hotheads. A lot of them are fired up and acting on behalf of Biden - loons and nuts are getting dangerous.

Crazed animals should be removed from society or shot.

The perp doesn’t look blackened enough.

Too old to be a “teen”, so he’s a “maniac”. Even the Post is now spreading this nonsense.

[butlerweave]

The ones that keep releasing criminals should be arrested and kept in jail

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

This is why I don’t go to NYC, despite having relatives there. Secondly, I don’t use public transportation. Thirdly, despite the harsh laws, I always carry.
