NEW YORK — (AP) — A New York City couple in their 70s was killed Monday in what the police commissioner said was a “horrific double homicide, robbery and arson" — the man tied to a pole and stabbed, the woman’s body severely burned as their home went up in flames.

Frank Olton, 76, and Maureen Olton, 77, were found dead around 3:30 p.m. Monday, about 20 minutes after surveillance video showed suspect Jamel McGriff walking near their Queens home. The couple's son, a fire department EMT, called 911 after being alerted to the fire by the couple's alarm monitoring service. A fire marshal ruled that the fire was intentionally set.

McGriff, 42, remained at large as of Tuesday afternoon, police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. He was last seen on video earlier Tuesday pawning two cellphones in the Bronx and “should be considered armed and dangerous," she said.

McGriff's parole officer identified him as a suspect from surveillance video images obtained near the home, Tisch said

What is going on with black America? They think that they can do anything they want without consequences?

The answer to that..YES!! They have been told since childhood that they are VICTIMS, that they are victims of white oppression, and to get revenge they must slaughter white people for “payback”

The obligatory dead eyes.

I really think these men are possessed. Drugs are also a portal to the demonic.

There seems to be a lot of violence of a gruesome nature lately. I wonder why?

The hate whitie movement is strong in the Black Community. They blame the white man for all their problems real and imagined. We are gathering the ill feeling of the Obama age. They can not imagine a white man or woman who isn’t rich. Hate and envy are bad mojo. The Rap gangster culture is no help-—only hope for success is a career in sports, Rap music, or crime. We are going to face years of bad Juju.

It’s funny, I remember Democrats having a fit whenever someone called Covid the China Virus. It would lead to violence against Asians, they claimed. But never once did they think that 20 years of chanting “White Privilege” would lead to violence against whites.

Well, what consequences are they receiving?

They certainly appear to have received their dog whistle.

Same old same old. Time for respectable black leaders to start speaking out about black thugs raping, robbing and killing white folks.

It's not that blacks think they are permitted to do anything without consequences.

It's that many of them lack foresight. They don't even think about consequences. It's all about immediate gratification. No impulse control.
