1010 WINS reporter attacked on NYC street in random assault: ‘This is the new norm’
NY Post ^ | 08/18/2024 | Steven Vago and Steve Janoski

A maniac seized a 1010 WINS journalist by the hair and body-slammed her to the ground in a random senseless act outside her Manhattan office, according to police sources and the victim.

Kelly Dillon, 40 — a veteran New York City news and traffic reporter who was also with WCBS 880 — detailed the sudden attack in a Saturday TikTok video, describing how she was “assaulted on the streets of New York City, randomly, by a man” just after midnight Wednesday.

“There are many crimes being committed — random acts, random attacks — on females on the streets,” Dillon said. “It’s not going away, and it’s not getting any better. And it’s getting much, much worse. And the media and the police are definitely downplaying this. It’s a huge, huge problem.”

The reason it’s getting worse is because the media is downplaying it.

A “man on the street” story?

Hope she recovers fully, both mentally and physically ... but I just can’t help thinking that in some parts of the world a seriously mentally ill, violent man who would do this to a woman would receive a medal ... a gold one, at that.

Wonder if this random attack fits the pattern.

From the article:

“Several bystanders and other good Samaritans helped her with her wounds, while others took off after the attacker, she said.”

It’s nice to see that some folks pitched in. But if the Good Samaritans had caught and restrained the attacker, they’d probably be in trouble. NYC will tolerate criminals roaming the streets.

But NYC will not tolerate anyone fighting back.

Single urban women are the strongest Democrat demographic—and they are at the highest risk for random attacks by criminals.

If they don’t want to save themselves we can’t force them to do it.

when an attack is reported as “random”, you know it is not random.

Hard to believe any woman with any intelligence would go out on a street in NYC without her finger on the trigger of a cocked pistol in her pocket.

As I read her quotes in the article she seemed to be playing the gender card.

She used both the term female and woman.

I wonder how she defines a woman.

I understand it’s not easy for some women to define a woman.

There’s one on the SCOTUS who seemingly couldn’t.

I’m not going to save them. What they all believe in, they are living it now. Stupid has consequences and I’m not saving them from their stupid. I’m already on defense because of women like her, for myself and other people I actually care about.

Not anymore. People back then appreciated men like Kersey. Society today and women like her are ready to crucify such men. Besides strong independent modern women today don’t need no man, and its sexist to assume they can’t tzke care of themselves without a mans’ help.
