A New York woman who refused to cooperate with prosecutors after a mental patient attacked her on the subway weeks before he pushed a retired NYC teacher to his death appears to have some serious regrets.
“Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail,” the unidentified 23-year-old told the New York Post over the weekend.
Now, however, she is saying, “I regret it 100 percent and feel really bad that a man lost his life.”
The woman recounted to the tabloid the terrifying subway attack she suffered at the hands of the repeat offender, Rhamell Burke, 32, who police have accused of fatally pushing a retired teacher down a flight of stairs after being released from a psych ward.
She told the Post she and a friend were on a subway in Manhattan on April 2 when Burke approached them and tried to engage in a conversation, but they tried to switch cars to get away from him.
She said the suspect followed, allegedly yanked her by the back of her head in an attempt to ground her, and then attacked her friend.
“He comes up and he kicks my friend in the back, and basically pushes him through the transition of the cars,” the woman said in a phone interview Friday night.
Luckily, the train soon stopped at the West 4th Street-Washington Square Station in Greenwich Village and the pair fled. But, she said, Burke followed.
“We started running a little bit, but then thank God the cops were right there because, I mean, we kept thinking about, imagine that there were no cops, we would have had to literally run for our lives,” she told the Post. “They immediately arrested him.

Hmmm, wonder how she votes...
The 19th Amendment was a God awful mistake. It should be repealed.
L
never feel sorry for a criminal
She should be charged with ‘party to a crime’ or ‘accessory to murder’ or what ever they called it back in the old days when New York punished criminals.
Liberals have a skewed idea of goodness.
JRR Tolkien discussed liberalism in LOTR, when he showed that mandatory goodness from wearing the ring can result in evil that is on par with abject evil.
"Maybe a part of me was just like, I don't want to put another black man in jail....”
Correcting for adjective alignment, "Maybe a part of me was just like, I don't want to put another guilty man in jail....”
Thinking race, race and race is racist thinking. Here as in Europe, liberals have become afraid of being called a 'bad' word.
Kindness to the cruel inevitably results in cruel to the kind
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
Stupid woman.
Since she sees the world in racial terms, I think we know.
I dont care what color a criminal is. I also dont care what sex or age they are.
Was he some kind of physical monster? Beat the sh*t out if him consequences be damned.
Of course some self hating broad didn’t want to press charges against an ape.
You mean a getaway driver, or someone who held open a door and knew what was going on, or supplied tools used in a crime?
She’s not an accessory, and to think she should be charged as such is absurd.
““Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail,””
Toxic femininity....
Stupidity on display.......I guess martyrdom is chic nowadays.
Left-wing white women are a far bigger danger to our society than any number of illegal aliens, who they greatly outnumber. Sad but true.
If it’s some comfort to her, if she had cooperated, if charges had been brought, and if the perp had been convicted, it is still highly likely that he would have been freed by some NYC judge.
