BREAKING: Multiple People Shot at Brooklyn Subway Station

"Several people were shot at a Brooklyn train station during the rush hour commute on Tuesday, authorities said.

Photos from the scene showed several people lying in pools of blood on the train station at the MTA’s 36th Street station. The reports of shots fired came in at around 8:30 a.m., NBC New York reports.

An “explosive device” was reportedly found at the scene.

“Due to an investigation, avoid the area of 36th Street and 4th Avenue area in Brooklyn. Expect emergency vehicles and delays in the surrounding area,” the NYPD said in a statement.

According to NBC, a man who may have been wearing Metropolitan Transit Authority clothing was spotted hurling some kind of device before opening fire at the train station. Several undetonated devices were reportedly found in the area.

No further details were immediately available."

Horrible......

Whys everyone looking at me? I wasn’t there!

Nothing to see here, folks! Nothing to see.

I’m cleaning up the streets.

So scary that you can mind your own business,only walk outside during daylight hours, or if you have to go out at night-you go out with a friend, and STILL you can get shot.

CNN is covering it now.

Repeating what I'm hearing from cable news.

No fatalities from the 5 people who were shot or hit with shrapnel.

The person is a black male wearing a gas mask and orange construction vest.

CNN now says 13 injured.

CNN just said 13 injured. Hopefully all the victims make it.

NYC is awful.

NBC4: At least five people were said to have been shot by a man about 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds who was wearing a gas mask and an orange construction vest, according to three senior law enforcement officials. He fled the scene and has not been caught.

I remember the LIRR shooting. Colin Ferguson. Walked into the commuter train and just shot And murdered people on their way home from work. Scary shit.

This is what Critical Race Theory leads to!

An Incel or muslim?

A black incel Muslim?

Just awful. I hope the number of victims remains low - relatively low.

Im about a mile away. Sirens and helicopters everywhere. Crazy.

Seems a lot of the victims were asian.

[quote] NBC4: At least five people were said to have been shot by a man about 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds

Funny that NBC leaves out that the eyewitness said it was a *black* man about 5 feet 5 inches

R19 That's an ape.

[quote] Seems a lot of the victims were asian.

Didn’t get that from the pictures.

The trolls have entered the thread.

Black perp?

Only Fox seems be identifying him as a black man. This seems more terrorism than crime related.

Where are Eames and Goren when we need them?

I was just reading on another site a warning about incel shootings today and bam I see the report about the shooting in the subway station. The pictures I saw were injured men so probably not incel related ( they didn't look like Chads either).

IS that an agricultural site, or reddit, R26?

Just another day in the disintegration of America.

From the picture in the NY Post all the victims look like Asian men.

MSNBC stated it as well, r24…

The NY Post photo has three guys, two you can see the faces of, but the one laying down isn't Asian. This guy has photos and you can see the victims aren't all Asian.

The shooter is Russian.

"undetonated devices"

"smoke grenade" (explains the gas mask)

The "undetonated devices" kick this straight from just another day of your Dollar Store angry black man getting his own back straight to domestic terrorism.

Are they disproportionately Asian?

Do we know anything more about the possible second shooting at a different subway?

The shooter is Professor Plum!

I’m not familiar with Sunset Park. I don’t know if they have a large Asian population or not.

It's Sunset Park in Bklyn...it's predominantly a Asian and Latino neighborhood.

Mass shooting in USA? Must be a day that ends with a y.

Many of the passengers were, r34, like r38 said, it's Sunset Park.

Was the shooter a Trumpster?

No, we all know it was that whore, Miss Scarlett in the Billiards room with the candlestick.

r41, we don't know who it was, why even ask something like that?

[quote] I’m not familiar with Sunset Park.

This is the station you use if you’re going to Brooklyn Costco.

It’s actually a very mixed neighborhood. It borders a Hasidic Jewish neighborhood mixed with black and Hispanic populations.

Wasn't Mayor Adams going to be tough on violent crime? Or was that just campaign rhetoric?

As of 2019:

35.6% Hispanic

34.8% Asian

23.7% White

3.9% Black

R43, it will inevitably be asked here. I just got it out of the way.

r43 because that's what DLers do. Make wild assumptions. The more racially divisive, the better.

Horrible news, but I refuse to make wild assumptions about the shooter. NY can't catch a break.

The video at R40 is awful. These poor people just commuting to work at 8:30AM and this happens.

NY=Ukraine on the Hudson

Two news stations said perp was black. I don’t know if it’s true or not but it’s not crazy to repeat that info. Nothing divisive about it.

Perfect and one of numerous examples of why people would rather remain working remotely. They are not lazy Mayor Adams!

I just saw the video on the news. so sad!

CBS news reported:

"As its doors opened, someone threw a smoke bomb onto the train and started shooting."

Someone? Is Ilhan Omar working part-time at CBS now??

Why do Blacks keep attacking Asians?

America is a warzone

Is that a smoke bomb going off in the video at R40?

Crime in NY is not sustainable. No way this city survives. The politicians are either delusional or more likely afraid to face a primary (from the left). Criminals have no fear of reprisals at all.

Sad times.

Black suspect Asian victims

You just realized this NOW??

[quote]Crime in NY is not sustainable. No way this city survives.

Hey Debbie Downer @ r59, we survived 9/11.

[quote] Crime in NY is not sustainable. No way this city survives.

Also crime numbers are about 1/4 of what they were in the 1980s but DL wants us to believe that it's nothing but cars on fire and rubble and scenes from the movie The Warriors in the streets

We also survived COVID in 2020 when so many people fled and everyone said the city was dead and over.

Sorry to disappoint people, but NY isn't going anywhere.

That's r59's only post, r64, so I wouldn't consider one troll a significant section of DL.

He is a young man, whose mother loves him so much, who ultimately mentally snapped due to so much police brutality, whites holding him back, and Asian shop owners refusing to give him discounts.

Of course it isn't going anywhere. It's not getting any better, either.

r66 you must miss the 1000 posts ongoing about what a "horror show" NYC supposedly is these days then because there is very much a narrative being pushed on this site by somebody

MAGAt comes to blue state, tries to start trouble. It's a story as old as time. They need to find this guy.

It's not DL as a whole, r69. It's trolls. They've been bashing NYC for the past six years. It's one of their targets. Have you seen what they've been saying about *us*?

Here’s a live link via CBS’s YT channel.

New York City is over.

O

V

E

R

It's not his only post r66, and it's been said multiple times on this thread. Why are you pretending otherwise? Cut it out.

Did new yorkers get an emergency text?

See what that attitude gets you, r73?

Why do blacks hate asians?

It's the only post that shows when I Ignored them, r74. What are his other posts?

Yeah r71 I agree, it's all cities, all "liberal" cities specifically -- it just drives me nuts since it's divorced from the actual reality of living in these places so much. It's been a tough couple of years here in NYC and we're all on edge thanks to the pandemic experience and crime has ticked up some -- partially because 2020's record lows due to everybody being locked inside for half the year! These bad actors are exploiting these numbers to stoke fear at cities for their BS narrative, as if it's safe to be a gay person in rural fucking Oklahoma right now! Why don't they go stoke the fear with the frau hags on Facebook and leave us be

The shooter was using a Ghost Gun.

True R80, since guns are illegal in NYC.

There’s never been a subway shooting in Weehawken

[Why don't they go stoke the fear with the frau hags on Facebook and leave us be]

That's why I pointed out that that was their only post, r79. It could also be a troll with multiple accounts. But the fact remains...they're a troll...and easy to spot. They come here to stroke fear, but c'mon...this is DL. We know from bullshit here.

It's just a stupid troll. Let's ignore it and carry on.

R73- LOL

That’s the same troll that just defended adults watching little kids be raped and molested on another thread. He defends things like that but has a holier than thou attitude about black people.

The lack of self-awareness

R66, R59 here. That is nowhere near my 1st post. And I am not a troll lol. I may have exaggerated a bit about the city surviving, but it is certainly not thriving.

And the 9/11 comparison is not even relevant. I’ve talked to people who have lived here for 60 to 70 years, and they have never felt this type of fear and exhaustion with crime. You can find examples of these people all over social media. I was talking to an MTA worker who said once he reaches retirement, he is “getting the hell out of this city”. People have stopped riding the subway due to fear. C’mon.

Again, that’s the reason Adams won. If you want to pretend the city is paradise, then enjoy, but I live in reality. And no I’m not shitting on the city I live in and love to support some stupid narrative.

[quote]We know from bullshit here.

R83, you don't know how to quote and you don't know how ignore works when you use it to find others' posts, and you're trying to tell us that no one else on this thread (or on DL) uses these crime threads to say that NYC is "over" and "uninhabitable because of black crime" etc., so you don't exactly seem knowledgeable about this.

The guy you're complaining about is on movie threads like One Hour Photo. He's a regular. Many of our trolls are regulars and have been here for years.

Maybe your goal was to derail this thread, I dunno. This is my second reply re: this nonsense and it'll be my last.

Where the fuck is Batman?

R87 - I think as people get older they remember the past as better than it was. The subways were very dangerous in the 70s and 80s too. People also didn't ride them out of fear. Crime was also rampant then.

You can hear the shooting in this video but can't really see anything.

You can look up crime stats yourself.

This shows 185K violent felony crimes in the year 2000 versus 103K in 2021, and that's with nearly 1M more people in NYC in 2021 than back in 2000.

Crime was much worse in the past. All of these claims that it was better in the past are wrong, and the subsequent goalpost-moving of "well, it FELT worse, we were more scared" is just bullshit.

[quote] I’ve talked to people who have lived here for 60 to 70 years, and they have never felt this type of fear and exhaustion with crime

Wow the octogenarian set turned more conservative with age, news at 11

So the guy is black? Weird. This kind of shit is usually white dudes.

[quote]Police were looking for a man, believed to be about 5-foot-5, 180 pounds

That's a husky little guy

[quote]This is my second reply re: this nonsense and it'll be my last

Praise Jesus, r88!

Sunset Park has a large Chinese community.

My gut says hate crime.

Crime was worse back in the day, so this incident is no big deal.

We don't have surveillance photos of him yet which makes me think they have a good idea of where he is, or who he is.

And yeah, 5'5" seems notably short.

MSNBC News

[quote] So the guy is black? Weird. This kind of shit is usually white dudes.

You must have missed the memo on mandatory "diversity."

R91’s video is terrifying.

Hearing the shots fired from this POV is scarier than seeing it.

God. Those poor victims. I am so dismayed that this happened to them.

Best wishes to them all.

I don't know why the media is making such a big deal out of this. Multiple shootings are a weekly thing in NYC

Crime is basically legal. In Seattle, they aren't even investigating sex crimes. They defunded the police and that's the result. If I were a raper, I'd move to Seattle.

Adams needs to fucking resign. He’s a do-nothing showboater. To use Mr. Shakespeare’s words “All sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

R104- He's a dumbbell

R97...The Voice of the Night...yes, Sunset Park has a large Chinese population, but from the videos, that's a mixed crowd. So, it may not be a hate crime against Chinese

I used to take the R and the N from Brooklyn into Manhattan in high school. I would change from the R to the N at 59th. The N originates in Coney Island, so you have a large mix of ethnic groups (Russians, Italians, Jewish, and a smattering of Black people) coming from there. Meeting the train would at 59th would be Irish, Italian, Syrian, Puerto Rican backgrounds.

r103 in the *How can Biden increase his poll numbers?* thread:

[quote]God damn, these democrats are beyond weak and useless. Lazy cunts. They're just there for the money. They're grifters too, but they're grifters who throw out a few scraps once in a while

Bitch and moan, r103...

I have lived in NYC for almost 23 years now, and crime is definitely out of control. It is not acceptable for a society to just allow certain crimes to slide, which has been happening for the last two years. Rampant shoplifting, turnstile jumping, and then you have lots of street crime, robberies, assaults, and transit violence. The "defund the police" movement has not been good for anyone. Criminals are emboldened. And certain segments of society feel they have "license" to act violently and criminally because of the media and political narrative around this. In the grand scheme, crime is flourishing because of some isolated incidents that got national attention and were, possibly, misconstrued to a degree with emotions running high (not all of them, but some).

We need to always punish crime and the criminals. Feelings should not excuse criminal behavior, ever, in civilized society.

This is all really exhausting and concerning. I'm voting for tough on crime candidates across the board going forward, the party is irrelevant to me.

Cue the explanations of how this was caused by systemic racism in 3, 2, 1.....

It'll be simple to repurpose the same cut & paste that was used for Will Smith. It's the same cut & paste that gets used any time a black individual commits a crime.

Goodbye city life

[quote]The "defund the police" movement has not been good for anyone

Tell that to the Republicans, r108.

Can we get a rousing *Sure, Jan!* for r108?

[quote]Criminals are emboldened. And certain segments of society feel they have "license" to act violently and criminally because of the media and political narrative around this.

Blacks. Always blacks. Always.

R107, according to you, The dems are super tough on crime. This mass shooting is actually a good thing. I'm sure your fingers are crossed for more shooting, rapes, robberies, hate crimes etc, etc.

You won't have to wait long. They'll be another mass shooting in NYC within the week

According to you, rapes are good, bashing innocent people in the head with bricks and hammers are even better, mass shootings are THE BEST and the dems are doing a great job

I'm sure theyl'll do great in the midterms. Bravo. Crime is basically LEGAL

I'm sure when they catch this guy they'll give him a low bail. The most important thing to democrats is getting a guy like this BACK ON THE STREET

R114 that’s a really fucking horrible thing to say about another mass shooting happening within the week. Don’t even speak that into existence.

Not to be a MARY but MARY!!!!

Jeez, there were no working cameras on the subway at the time.

Summer is coming. Just saying.

A few interesting parts of the ABC article:

[quote]Ten people were shot and six suffered other injuries, officials said. Five people are in critical but stable condition.

[quote]According to a police official, the suspect was seen mumbling to himself before he put on the gas mask, released a smoke canister commonly bought online and opened fire with .380 caliber handgun.

[quote]There were no working cameras in the 36th Street station, according to a police official.

[quote]...the shooting isn't being investigated as an act of terrorism, she later said, they are "not ruling anything out."

When you go on public transportation, detonate something that sparks and smokes, and shoot multiple random commuters, and leave "several undetonated devices" (per NYFD) --

How the FUCK can that be anything but terrorism? It's pretty much the definition of terrorism.

The perpetrator/s may not be part of a known terror group, and we may not know their motivations, but this is clearly a planned terrorist attack.

It's bad enough that people are shot just trying to get to work, but the gaslighting by the authorities rubs salt in the wound.

He could’ve made his getaway disguised as a subway car!

Oh, dear!

Might wanna cut back on the Ivermectin, R114.

Those masks probably saved more people from getting injured.

R65 it is dead, or hadn't you noticed the For Lease signs on so many businesses and restaurants and the office buildings which are at less than 50% capacity on any given workday.

Hey, my Popeyes is still open and Shun Lee Cafe is opening around the corner from me soon so I’m good.

What we do have in the NYC subways these days are a remarkable number of people with serious mental issues. Like, full-tilt psychotic breaks wandering through the cars.

And there's been 2 cops in every subway station for the past two months, and now we see how well that bit of security theatre is working.

Now what?

Can anyone confirm "Un-detonated" devices were found? All the news reports I am seeing are pulling back on that statement though it was all over when this first occurred. A very strange location (Outer borough vs midtown) if this is a "statement" crime.

I know factually there was more crime in 70s and 80s but it was also a lot cheaper to live in NYC then so you took the tradeoff. Rents and real estate are sky high now so you would expect basic safety to be part of that package.

Happy Ramadan. Love, Satan’s religion.

I suppose I shouldn’t give this observation since I don’t live in NY, but….that incredibly stupid broad, the Governor, Kathy Hochul at that grandstanding press conference….. babbling on and on about gun violence with no news to give and then jumping in at the end of the presser for one last TV face time moment to admonish about those that are FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES….

Literally, just two minutes before that shrill, look at me moment, the others had said that there were NO LIFE THREATENING injuries. Dolt. And then some self important jerk wanted to allow only 2-3 questions. It’s a press conference. That means questions. Such an embarrassing mess of nitwits. As long as they got their names and mugs and ever so important comments for the TV camera news….

Rant over.

It sounds to me like the smoke bombs were erroneously reported as incendiary devices at first. I haven't heard anything about them for hours, I don't think they actually found any, thankfully.

This is definitely part of an effort to destabilize and create chaos, and what we see is tip of the iceberg stuff. These apparently random Asian hate crimes with Black perps in NYC, then other Asian hates crimes in San Francisco, and other places. I'd check out the Extreme Right's media offerings because there are ways to trigger people to go out and do this stuff. Then they say well he blames Asians for COVID, or WTF ever. Putin is ultimately behind strategic efforts to destabilize, weaken, and create chaos and they are saying he will be very actively engaged in destabilizing our Midterm elections by any means necessary.

Now of course there will be cyberattacks on the voting itself, but to tighten up the races, they have to "tenderize " the electorate. Soften them up so they will absorb the tactics more readily. The GOP has been doing dirty tricks and multi layered strategies to great effect for years. If you are feeling insecure, if you are fearful, and you are anxious, you are more receptive to negative campaigns, more receptive when they sow doubt, or even to not showing up to vote at all. We need to be on our toes and don't be a linear thinker. The GOP is extremely capable of doing more than one thing. They will not be limited to cyberattacks. They love to show the Dems as soft on crime. That has been a cornerstone for decades. Republicans play a numbers game and they know just how many votes they need to shave off our totals to cobble together a win. We need to be ruthless. Locally, do what you can to win! I'm pissed this morning because Chuck Grassley was facing a really strong challenger and his cronies in the Iowa state court simply declared her ineligible to run.

The NYPD stopped doing anything *remotely* resembling law enforcement since June 2020, unsure if they just got butt hurt about the George Floyd / law enforcement backlash or the fact that they had to wear masks (which they never did), but seriously it's been bedlam in NYC since then. You may as well defund NYPD because they are simply useless.

Agree R128.

John King: "the perpetrator is described as a black gentleman".

R130- Look whom she choose as Lt Governor- the SLEEZE was just arrrested- it shows you her judgement and the New York Democratic party's judgement in choosing this criminal.

[quote]Happy Ramadan. Love, Satan’s religion.

You really should see a neurologist about your Tourette's.

We have to get the homeless off the streets. There are police officers in the subway stations, but they don’t actually do anything.

Once the homeless are dealt with, the cops can go after fare evaders. Then, those playing loud music. Then, those begging for money. Then, those who are screaming or fighting with others.

Once we have some sort of order and civility, the subways will be safe. It’s not that hard, it just takes ruffling a little SJW feathers.

I just saw in the abc news on YouTube that the gunman’s gun jammed. Then they showed him screaming between the subway cars as his gun jams and the people inside are just calm af! He’s raging and trying to break that window. Jesus Christ .

R75 I got one from my employer.

The George Floyd protests did affect crime in NYC. Not so much the cops being butt hurt. But the looters and arsonists not being punished and having excuses made for them. That madness continues 2 years so more crime of course.

[quote]We have to get the homeless off the streets. There are police officers in the subway stations, but they don’t actually do anything.

[quote]Once the homeless are dealt with, the cops can go after fare evaders.

How, r138? What's *your* solution to dealing with the homeless?

r139 where did you see that? I'm not finding it on ABC's YouTube channel.

Congratulations, New York on all of the great publicity you've been getting recently. In the eyes of the world, you are quickly supplanting Chicago as the most violent city in the country and a place for tourists to avoid.

R143 it’s on abcnews it’s not on now. But it was on and will probably be shown again. They are complaining about crime right now.

How do they know it's not terrorism if they don't have the suspect in custody?

On now!

Is it what was posted at r91, by chance? I wonder if the guy we're seeing through the window is the gunman.

ITs a short clip r143

R142,

Try to get them psychological care. If they refuse, put them in a homeless shelter. If they refuse that, they go to jail. I’d rather my tax money go to paying for more space to keep criminals off the street than go to Medicaid for life/SNAP for life that encourages more homeless to come here.

R143 r148 yes that is the clip where the guy was shooting then the gun jammed and he couldn’t pass into new car to kill more.

I pray the tourists stay away, they're the fucking trash I came here to be away from

R146 Because he was id's as black not middle eastern.

Thanks r151, that's crazy.

This is the original source for the r91 video if anyone's curious, this is the guy who recorded most of the video we have, apparently. Scary stuff.

On the NY Post site there is video of people inside one car moving away as you hear shots in the next car. They’re so calm.

This is what happens when you keep proving people out of their neighborhoods. Other countries get this, idk why the USA still hasn’t realized keeping things AFFORDABLE keeps crimes lower.

R154

I don't see a green vest over a grey hoodie that the suspect was wearing. That's probably a person trying to escape from the gunman.

Have you checked out the cost of living in Canada and in Europe, R156? Hardly affordable.

R158 actually they give livable wages to all. It’s not like here. Their minimum wage allows them to pay their bills and rent.

Yeah, I honestly don't know, r157. Even with the video full screen I can't see the guy well enough to know what's going on. At first I thought there were gunshots but now I think it's him hitting the window, trying to get in.

R159, no. You're sweet and idealistic, but no, many people live in poverty in Europe and in Canada and minimum isn't keeping up with the cost of living, The major difference between Canada/Europe and the US is acceptance of guns and gun culture.

Don't worry guys. At least it's not "classic terrorism".

I like the sideways response from the reporter, "The FBI says it's not classic terrorism, but the victims certainly were terrified."

So close to calling it out for the b.s. statement it was.

It's only classic terrorism if it comes from the terror region of France.

R162, I see the doublespeak is beginning already.

They don't know who did it; they don't know why; but yeah, one thing they know for sure: they can rule out "classic terrorism."

What the everloving fuck is "classic terrorism"?

r128 you are correct and there were also far fewer guns back in those days. It was mostly knife attacks. Guns are fucking everywhere now.

[quote]The major difference between Canada/Europe and the US is acceptance of guns and gun culture.

And tons of feral blacks who are unable to live in a civilized society.

Uber and Lyft suspended surge pricing in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn on Tuesday after irate New Yorkers shared screenshots showing sky-high rideshare prices following a horrific subway attack that injured at least 29 people.

[quote]Sunset Park has a large Chinese community.

I thought this immediately upon finding out the shooter was black.

Hopefully this is scaring the transplants from Brooklyn. You can gentrify Brooklyn all you want, it’s still Brooklyn. Most of the comments on here show none of you are actually from Brooklyn

r171 in what is supposed to be a civilized society, a person shooting off a gun in public is unacceptable. Perhaps your backwards chulo culture doesn't think it's a big deal, but civilized people do not tolerate this kind of thing.

𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁

The gunman behind Tuesday’s Brooklyn subway rampage has been on the run for more than six hours — and now cops across the city have been ordered to be on the lookout for a U-Haul with out-of-state plates, police sources said.

The news of the potential involvement of a rental van with Arizona plates comes amid a massive manhunt for the shooter by police, who have released few details on the suspect, with sources revealing that the surveillance cameras at the station were out of commission.

In an e-mail to the entire police patrol force, cops were ordered just after 2 p.m. to keep their eyes peeled for any U-Haul van and markdown its location and license plates, according to the order obtained by The Post.

Law-enforcement sources revealed to The Post a troubling cache of items he may have left at the scene.

They include items from a jammed Glock with two extended ammo magazines to a bag full of fire crackers.

NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at a press conference that the suspect is a roughly 5-foot-5 black man with a heavy build at around 170 pounds.

He was wearing a gas mask, green construction-type vest and a hooded gray sweatshirt at the time.

--------------------

So the story evolves from an unexploded bomb to a bag of firecrackers. A green construction vest from an orange one, and he has lost ten pounds while on the run.

R138, I think the priority absolutely should be clamping down hard on fare evaders because they’re often the Black, white, Asian and hispanic thugs who commit most of the crime on the subway.

[quote]and he has lost ten pounds while on the run.

Wow, ten pounds in a few hours! I'm so jealous!

The shooting could have been so much worse if the gun hadn’t jammed.

Please stop with the transplant nonsense. No one wants to get shot in the subway on their way to work.. What crap.

R171, I'm a native New Yorker and have lived in Brooklyn for 30 years, and I can say you're full of shit and I can smell your small-town roots from here. "Oh, New Yorkers are so tough we shrug off getting shot in the subway and towers being hit by planes and anyone who expects not to be attacked savagely is just a weak nelly who isn't one of us" -- horseshit. Your overcompensating posturing fools no actual New Yorkers.

Those of us who actually have roots, families, and a life here don't think it's cute or funny when people are shot trying to live their lives. It's not a badge of honor to see our fellow New Yorkers -- or even transplants or tourists -- getting hurt or killed. You're sick.

r178, r171 is the fat troll E dwin.

Agree with R128, R133 and R141.

I don’t understand what the transit police is doing. One of their stations is 161st Yankee Stadium and they all congregate there. You go two stations up, still in the South Bronx, no cops.

People will start protecting themselves, and then we will truly have chaos.

Marjorie Taylor Greene weighs in, with predictable idiocy:

No other civilized country would put up with the amount of daily gun violence with have in this country. Our elected idiots would rather accept blood money from their masters, the NRA, than face the truth, and gun nuts don't start quoting the idiotic 2nd Amendment which does mention the word militia. No place is safe in this country from gun violence.

Today really has exposed Hochul for being in way over her head. And Adams is an embarrassment.

No other civilized country would put up with the a̶m̶o̶u̶n̶t̶ ̶ 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑝𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 of daily gun violence

Is the Brooklyn 🌊 🐄 ok?

So he was a James Holmes (colorado movie theater shooter) copycat.

R171 🤣😂😍😊

Another Black man...WOW I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. Not really shocked by the violence, it's all over every major city.

[quote]Our elected idiots would rather accept blood money from their masters, the NRA

Who on the left took NRA money, r182?

If there were more tourists and fewer mentally ill thugs in NYC, it would be a much better place.

No, the woke would blame the plight of the perpetrators on white men and priviledge. Right wingers would blame it on the lack of the Ten Commandments being posted in every subway station.

I wonder if the ladies of The View will cover the Brooklyn subway shooting or the latest on "SoHo Karen"

A slew of weapons, including a hatchet, a can of pepper spray, two gas canisters, one bag of fireworks, smoke grenades and gasoline were also recovered at the scene, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒊𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒊𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕.

If they find a box of Lee Press-Ons, r196...

I wonder how the anti-car movement will spin this.

The fare for Ubers and Lyfts has increased in Brooklyn. Perhaps to help pay for bullet proof windows

R169 considering the price of gas and the need for bullet proof windows that seems fare oops, I meant fair!

it wasn't terrorism, terrorism

So tough R178 that they get upset when people call NY a shithole. Sticks and stones . . .

[quote]The news of the potential involvement of a rental van with Arizona plates

A U-Haul truck with Arizona plates could have been rented from anywhere. And the only way to find out who rented it is if they have the entire license plate number

R196, whew! No way this was terrorism, then. Sounds like just a typical ordinary mugging with the usual -- you know, hatchet, gas canisters, fireworks, smoke grenade, gasoline, and such. Nothing to see here!

R204 LMAO! 😉😁😊😍😂🤣

Really? The guy rented a U-Haul with his credit card, then left his credit card behind on the train he attacked?

Was he purposely imitating the first WTC bombing in 1993?

[quote] Hopefully this is scaring the transplants from Brooklyn. You can gentrify Brooklyn all you want, it’s still Brooklyn. Most of the comments on here show none of you are actually from Brooklyn

You moved to New York City to get away from tourists??

That's like moving to Death Valley to get away from the heat.

A gun shoots in Brooklyn...

This is Brooklyn's 9/11!

R207 What if he stole the credit card and planted it? The gas, the gun, it all shows a certain degree of premeditation. To be so dumb to leave his credit card there of all things doesn't fit the picture.

R212, yeah, that'll be fodder for conspiracy theorists and mystery lovers if it's confirmed.

The 1993 WTC bombers actually did rent their truck with their own credit cards. I guess maybe some people really are that dumb.

But even if you're not a conspiracy theorist, something stinks to high heaven about the situation. And it's also odd that the cameras all were nonfunctional. I guess they're maintained by the same team that worked on the cameras in Jeffrey Epstein's cell.

BRB, going into the kitchen to get some Reynolds Wrap for my tinfoil hat.

I’m sure there will be a system wide check into the cameras at all stations. How many work and which stations/areas have been neglected. Someone will take the blame for this.

Don’t get excited R213. It’s not uncommon for subway stations to have non-functioning cameras.

This is not a terrorist attack?

[quote] This is not a terrorist attack?

The only terrorists in America are smelly looking white guys from Montana

Press conference with the mayor now underway!!

R213, I can only second R215’s point; it would have been suspicious if any of the cameras were working.

BREAKING

He got off at least 33 shots. Could’ve been a lot worse.

R219 last week along with restarting 'stop n frisk', Adams talked about using drones in the fight against crime. So, it's shocking to hear that with the daily mayhem that has been going on in subway stations so many cameras aren.t working.

Two first name people are always the worst.

R128 Was the crime in the 70s & 80s so random and unprovoked and in so many parts of the city?

zero confidence in this mayor or governor

He's 62 and has addresses in Philadelphia and Wisconsin. What a strange case.

person of interest is an average looking black dude

Tell us, did you also move to NYC to get away from Jews?

I'd have lost that bet. I was expecting braids.

This CNN reporter that CBC keeps having on is awful, I'm switching to actual CNN now.

“believed to have made posts online against homelessness and Mayor Eric Adams in the past”

^^ is he a DLer ^^

Latest details.

He looks unsettled in the eyes.

Is this an asian hate crime?

oops link

So this was a black guy who was ranting about homelessness and the city's black mayor on social media.

And he didn't even live in NYC.

WTF?

I always said black on black crime is a huge problem. It’s not always about whitey.

236 is a POS

I thought he shot up asians?

Is New York doomed?

Trolls making shit up.

I think blaming systemic racism for all sociopathic behavior has died a natural death. RIP. 2020-2022.

Fox News must be jumping for joy.

If R235 is correct, the constant right-wing trolling about the evils of big cities may have to shoulder some of the blame, R241.

along with Bill De Blasio R242

Well I've heard nearly every awful hot take today on this shooting. The fact that nobody's blamed Critical Race Theory for the shooting yet is just a failure of imagination.

MSNBC just said he's made "emotionally disturbed" type threats in the past.

Huh.

Talking about his dead cousin Karen before he begins his rant

He’s from Milwaukee. Yet he had to come here and shoot up the place . . .

His take on “the slap”

The 12-year-olds have entered the thread.

The credit card was probably stolen and left to implicate someone else............. or, the guy is just mental and not terribly organized, which helps to eliminate the terrorism idea.

He sho' is ugly!

There was no credit card at the scene ffs!

I saw the news conference. Cops said that a uhaul key was left behind with the fireworks and ammo etc and that's how they traced the uhaul truck to him etc.

He has made statements about homelessness and eric adams. I have not seen his social media.

Grandpa is 62 years old !!!

His YOUTUBE links are posted up thread. YIKES!

Hello, during the press conference just now, I could barely make out what the fuck Eric Adams was talking about, he was just trying to give some fucking speech to make himself sound grand. He picked a female for police commissioner and she wasn't even from NYPD. What the fuck does she know?! I saw her speak and she doesn't instill any confidence.

John Miller had more of a presence and seems to know what the fuck was going on, the female was clueless, just like man who appointed her.

What was his occupation? Was he in the military?!

Is he Muslim or Nation of Islam? Or some other brand of extremist that the SCLU no longer tracks?

oh my, he can't even spell "dying" LOL.

Super expensive city that is now super dangerous. Something's got to give.

why are people saying it's not terrorism? just coz he's not from middle east? Lots of blacks are muslims.

[QUOTE] So the guy is black? Weird. This kind of shit is usually white dudes.

R267, come one, that was some grandpa in those videos. This is a first. A geriatric mass shooter.

R171 Seacow Ed.win do you forget that your deplorable family are all transplants from la isla de Puerto Rico??

Did anyone google him? Usually these websites tell you who the person is related to, who shared the same addresses etc.

What do we know about him?!

What is his connection to NYC?

His Facebook says he's from the Bronx, R272.

What am i missing r273? The name on that Facebook page is Frank Whitaker, not Frank James.

I tried to link his Facebook at R256, here's another in case it doesn't work.

Thats him, R274.

He's using a fake name on FB.

They all have that Asian-Arab-Black-Hispanic mix peculiar to New York, on their way to their dishwashing/nail salon/hotel cleaner jobs. Confused on a good day, the crisis has turned them nearly catatonic.

so he was priced out of NYC and had to move to Wisconsin? His FB page says he moved there in July 20, 2020

This is so very sad, and nearly every New Yorker's worst nightmare.

Current local news reports have victim count at nearly thirty...

Bad shot thank God

I believe in my bones there is a Psy-Ops thing going on that triggers some of these nut cases and it's coming from the Extreme Right. I am not some loony.

Has anybody died or are they all okay?

Imagine if cell phone cameras and social media had been around on 9/11. All the footage from inside the towers and the planes. JFC.

The suspect is also a holocaust denier

Nobody died...so far. I think they will be fine.

They won't be fine.

-- PTSD and massive gunshot damage

With phones there would have been mass pandemonium, #285. The only reason so many got out alive is they thought it was a big nothingburger, so they calmy filed out of the WTC- ignorant of the impending collapses.

How did this nutcase figure out which train to target? Why that train in BK? I'd love to know which websites and news outlets he visits and listens to. All the attacks on Asians have been by Black people who were mentally ill. This stinks like week old rotten fish. Almost as if "someone" wants to stir up fear and division directed at Blacks and Asians.

[QUOTE] How did this nutcase figure out which train to target? Why that train in BK?

It ain't that hard to figure out honey.

His videos are almost coherant.

I am going thru his posts on fb, nothing said against asians so far. He doesn't like gays...what a shocker! He doesn't like that the new supreme court justice married a white man.

Probably more shit on youtube channel but I didn't look there.

[QUOTE] Almost as if "someone" wants to stir up fear and division directed at Blacks and Asians.

Yes they were just crisis actors and "they" are really behind all of it pulling the strings. OOOOOH.

Frank R. James ID’d as person of interest in Brooklyn subway shooting, made threatening online rants

By Jorge Fitz-Gibbon April 12, 2022

A 62-year-old man who railed against Mayor Adams and made bizarre threatening rants on YouTube has been identified as a person of interest in the savage Brooklyn subway attack that injured at least 29 people Tuesday morning, officials said.

Frank James — who warned last month that he was “entering the danger zone” — rented a U-Haul van tied to the N train attack in Sunset Park and is being sought for questioning, police said at an evening briefing.

“Mr. Mayor, I’m a victim of your mental health program,” James said in one lengthy video.

“I’m 63 now full of hate, full of anger, and full of bitterness.”

The NYPD said they were increasing security for Mayor Adams after police discovered the videos.

James said in the videos that he had a diagnosed mental illness and railed against what he called the “horror show” of the city’s mental health services.

“What’s going on in that place is violence,” he said about a facility he claimed to receive care from. “Not physical violence,” he explained, “but the kind of violence a child experiences in grade school… that would make him go get a gun and shooting motherf–ers.”

The person of interest ranted about race issues and claimed that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was proof that black people were treated with disdain in society.

“These white motherfu–ers, this is what they do,” he said. “Ultimately at the end of the day they kill and commit genocide against each other. What do you think they gonna do to your black ass?”

“It’s just a matter of time before these white motherfu–ers decide, ‘Hey listen. Enough is enough. These ni–ers got to go,'” he said.

“And what’re you going to do? You gonna fight. And guess what? You gonna die. Cause unlike President [Zelensky] over in Ukraine, nobody has your back. The whole world is against you. And you’re against your fu–ing self. So why should you be alive again is the fucking question. Why should a ni–er be alive on this planet? Besides to pick cotton or chop sugar cane or tobacco.”

The only options James could find, he claimed, was to commit more violence or become a criminal.

“And so the message to me is: I should have gotten a gun, and just started shooting motherf—ers,” he said.

“Or I should have gotten some dope and started shooting or starting hitting bit–es in the head, robbing old ladies, you know what the fu– it is.”

The key to James’ van was found at the scene of the crime, as was a credit card that rented the vehicle out of Philadelphia, cops and law-enforcement sources said. [...]

My first thought this morning: Will Smith.

Coulter’s Law strikes again.

'I believe in my bones there is a Psy-Ops thing going on that triggers some of these nut cases and it's coming from the Extreme Right. I am not some loony.'

Why is DL a hotbed of Qanon loons?

[QUOTE]I believe in my bones there is a Psy-Ops thing going on that triggers some of these nut cases and it's coming from the Extreme Right.

Uh huh. Some real Marys on this thread.

Don't take this as gospel, according to gossip, this is one of his favorite Youtube channels. Make of it whatever you will.

So yet another aging former beauty queen discovered too late life is not always a pageant!

R302, this is him, isn't it?

They should investigate Bill De Blasio's wife's so called mental health program. What the fuck happened ? They wasted so much money...

Reading the remarks quoted in r297, how did Frank James not have an MSNBC show?

I came face to face with mumbling Brooklyn subway shooter — here’s what he said

A straphanger told The Post he came face to face with the mass shooter who opened fire on a crowded subway Tuesday — and was targeted by the mumbling madman first.

Subway rider Fitim Gjeloshi recalled how he was on the Manhattan-bound N train just before 8:30 a.m. in Brooklyn when he noticed the suspect sitting in the corner, muttering to himself.

“I looked at him, and I thought to myself he was talking to himself for like awhile, so I looked at him, and I was like, this guy must be on drugs,” Gjeloshi said outside the 72nd Precinct in Sunset Park after talking to cops Tuesday afternoon.

When the train briefly stopped underground after leaving the 59th Street station, the suspect suddenly whipped out a gas mask, Gjeloshi said.

“When [the train] was about to hit 36th Street, we stopped for 5 minutes. He takes out a gas mask from one of his little luggage[s],” the witness said.

“He opened one of his gas tanks, and he said, ‘Oops, my bad.’ He pulls out an ax, he drops it, he takes a gun out, he starts shooting.”

The rider claimed that the suspect shot at him first, but he managed to dodge the bullet and emerge unscathed.

“One guy gets shot right next to me. He says, ‘Help! Help’ ” Gjeloshi said. “I tell some person to help him out, cover the blood for him. I jump over, I bang the door and I kicked it with my leg,” Gjeloshi said.

By the time the train pulled into the 36th Street station, the car was littered with wounded New Yorkers bleeding from the suspect’s barrage of bullets.

In all, 10 people were shot and another 19 wounded, officials said. Miraculously, no one suffered life-threatening injuries.

Law-enforcement sources said the suspect’s 9mm Glock apparently jammed amid the bloodshed, preventing more casualties.

“I got lucky with it. … It was crazy, man,” Gjeloshi said, adding he was “scared.”

The unidentified suspect is still on the lam.

Sunset Park, is that an area with lots of Jewish people? I wonder if he was targeting them?

WTF 62 year old man

also, you have to think, it's easter soon and also passover on april 15. He hates white people.

I’ll be steering clear of Fairway until Monday.

R311, I haven't been there in years. Do they still have that pretty good Korean BBQ chicken?

r290 I agree. And imagine all the horrific images we would have seen.

Is he in police custody yet?

No, there have been no arrests.

r118, I'm surprised someone is able to enter the subway with a gun. I always assumed there were metal detectors there.

r119, Exactly!

r291, I don't think it's some scheme from Russia or 'The Powers That Be.' Between the FBI report a few weeks ago about these men's online behavior and their murder stats within their community, there's something going on with Black men. This cannot be normalized, especially when the mainstream is pushing "BLM" and "Defund the police" rhetoric.

r297, all that hate towards white so he attacks Asians in a hate crime/terrorist attack??? If he's brought in alive, he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

😷 Don't look at me.......

I was at the Darfur Open Air Marketplace signing up the locals for booster shots, with the promise of free soup and unlimited breadcrumbs* for all participants.

*All meals served AFTER booster shots are administered.

I blame Jada.

R316, metal detectors? In the subway? What??

It’s not like going through airport security to catch a train. You’re lucky if a station even has one agent, let alone a team to run a metal detector.

The NYT said that this Frank James posted a bunch of videos on Youtube where he riffed off in long vitriolic rants- hmm I wonder against whom. The NYT did not say

R320, the homeless, Eric Adams, etc. The guy is angry at the world. Don't be an idiot trying to pit people against each other.

"In the videos, James offers commentary on major news events from Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars to Ketanji Brown Jackon's Supreme Court nomination to the war in Ukraine. In most of the videos, however, James seems to express his disdain for Black people—often calling them “cattle” and racial slurs—talks about his desire to “kill people,” and even describes himself as a “prophet of doom.”

“[N-words] should be wiped off the planet, even though I am one,” James says in one video.

James also dabbled in at least one conspiracy theory, calling 9/11 “the most beautiful day, probably in the history of this fucking world.”

One of his sisters, Catherine James, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she hasn't spoken to her brother in a few years, adding that he “kept to himself.”

“I don’t know what might have been his motivation. Last I spoke to him was like three years ago,” James said. “We don’t keep in contact with each other… I don't know what he was thinking, I don’t know anything about why he might have done what he did.”

“I made up my mind, kind kind of kind of told myself, you know, I may have to hurt somebody one day somebody may have to get hurt,” James said in one rambling 44-minute video viewed by The Daily Beast. “Because there's no way that I'm going to do what society asks me to do which is to try to be—to work hard to play fair, keep my nose to the old grindstone, pull myself by the bootstraps, you know, go to work, pay my taxes, do everything you asked me to do and then you're going to smack me in the face.”

In the video, James seems to take direct aim at Adams, warning him that his “blueprint for ending gun violence” was “doomed to fail.”

“Because I see some serious flaws in his plan,” he says. “I don't know about some of it. I know part of it is definitely flawed and it's doomed to failure.”

James then zeroed in on the mental health component of Adams’ plan.

“The other thing he talked about, of course, was the issue of mental health,” James says in the video. “I’m also an expert on that, because—not only am I an expert, but I’m also a fucking patient. A mental health patient as well.” In a separate video, recording himself as he drives what appears to be a large van or truck, James claimed he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

“I have been in crisis, as a patient. I have a diagnosis that goes back to 1980, and I have been in crisis. I have acted out, so to speak, to the point where I had to be locked up because I was using illegal narcotics, I’ll just say.” James added that he hadn’t “had an episode since that time.”

James also noted that he had spent time in the city’s mental health day treatment centers, stating that those places are filled with “violence, not physical violence, but the same kind of violence that’s similar to what a child may experience in grade school.” He then went on to describe a situation in which “people keep talking and picking, picking, picking to the point where they go and get a gun and shoot motherfuckers. That kind of violence.”

The same sentiment against New York City's leadership is also mirrored in a Jan. 26 video, where James slams the rise of crime on the subway—and claims he'd “still get off” even if he sees officers on the tracks.

“He can’t stop no crime in no subways,” James said. “He may slow it down but he ain’t stopping it.”

In a Jan. 1, 2020 video on Facebook, James does into detail about how he was addicted to New York City prostitutes from the 1980s until at late as 2002. “It had to be a specific type of streetwalker,” James said, adding that “the girls I used to go out with, the ones that really had to be hooked, they're no longer available.”

In a March 25 video, James is seen driving through Philadelphia—where he reportedly rented the U-Haul van cops say he drove to New York. James is then seen in another clip in a hotel room in New Jersey.

“This is where I’m at, the Best Western of Bordentown,” James said.“Here I am, back, back, back in the place where all my troubles started,” he continued.

“The State of fucking stinking New Jersey, sitting here in Bordentown the next couple of days. And as you saw, the end of my journey, or part the end of my journey, in Philadelphia, at my storage facility getting everything put away.”

James added he was only going to be in New Jersey “for a couple of days,” and that he got into town the day before. “It’s time,” he said. “Damage is just too deep. Damage is just way too fucking deep. And so I think the second phase of what took place on 9/11 is about to take place. And that’s why Putin’s over here saber-rattling.”

In a video posted on Monday, titled “DOMESTICATED AVERAGES,” James is seen drinking white overproof rum in a skull shot glass while he rants on everything from slavery to Marjory Beecher Stowe.

“I've been through a lot of shit. I can say I wanted to kill people. I wanted to watch people die right in my fucking face,” James says at one point. “But I thought about...I don't want to go to fucking prison.”

[quote]One of his sisters, Catherine James, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she hasn't spoken to her brother in a few years, adding that he “kept to himself.....he crazy."

Fixed it.

Heavy

At a glance

I'm sure they have his fingerprints on the gun and other objects left behind... Do you think he's killed himself?

[quote] Do you think he's killed himself?

Going by his hate whitey postings I wouldn't think he is done yet.

The page contains images of guns and describes Black nationalism as “black unity,” in addition to criticizing former President Donald Trump and posting about racism.

According to Newsweek, The suspect was “previously known to the FBI, having been entered into the Guardian Lead system in New Mexico, though he was cleared after multiple interviews in 2019.”

J Edgar would be 𝑠𝑜 disappointed with the 21st century Bureau.

Black racist

NYPD doubling the number of cops patrolling subway system.

Imagine having to deal with this bullshit while also dealing with the bullshit of trying to go to fucking work. On a FUCKING SUBWAY. Fuck this shit, for real. Execute whomever is both responsible and necessarily executable to prevent this from happening in the future.

The very idea of subways will always make NYC a shithole. If I can't telecommute or drive there, I'm not working for you, its simply too dangerous to get there. Fuck that.

Other NYC shootings today ---

Three people were killed and at least 12 others were wounded in a series of shootings that rocked parts of The Bronx and Brooklyn on Tuesday night, police and sources said.

The fatal victims included a 23-year-old woman, and two men, 22 and 21, who were all murdered in separate Bronx shootings. At least five other shootings were reported in New York City during a roughly six-hour span, authorities said.

Well, it's the Bronx, what do you expect?

The suspect is just misunderstood. He just needs to be loved.

Do you know how many world-class cities you've written off, r333? Dozens you couldn't even begin to name that have safe and sane public transportation, including substantive underground systems like Tokyo's or Madrid's. Would you like to elucidate and offer us your invaluable insights?

That Daily Beast article has some wild quotes from him from his videos. This guy was a literal Travis Bickle.

Is the shooter a truck driver? He RADIATES truck driver. Was he a truck driver in the in that convoy that was making trouble before this?

I watched John Oliver’s episode on Truck Drivers and r339 you are 100% spot on.

[quote]Do you think he's killed himself?

If he hasn't yet, he will before the police close in on him.

[QUOTE] Was he a truck driver in the in that convoy that was making trouble before this?

LOL.

[QUOTE] The suspect is just misunderstood. He just needs to be loved.

Well its true that he didn't actually kill anyone, and he's an EDP. We should have sympathy for him.

Pretty low post count for a crime like this. I take it the shooter wasn't an attractive white man?

R344, no one died. BTW: Where do we think he is? IMO, he had another vehicle and has gone back to Pennsylvania. I don't think he's in NYC. OK, maybe New Jersey.

He's 62. Geez...too many old folks are crazy...off their rockers. You would think this violence are done by younger people. Age 60+...surprising how unglued elders can be, at the time of supposed "wisdom" and chilling at their age.

..violence *is done..^^

R346, also the 83 year old trans serial killer who was recently in the news.

This is Fox News, and all those Q Anon type sites, conspiracy theories, etc. There are a lot of media places to go to to feed the crazy out here and foment violence. If you're already unstable, those media types will fuel it and bring you to a higher level of nuts, and at some point you will snap. And if you are already violence prone, it won't take much. And one thing typical of all those extremist sites is that they always give you an enemy to hate. Always someone to blame so they can focus your negative crazy energy somewhere.

Sick of all the violence.

I'd be sick of the lack of safety and confidence. What must it be like to increasingly know every day you could wind up dead just for going about your life?

[quote]If you're already unstable, those media types will fuel it and bring you to a higher level of nuts

Exactly, people who are dealing with mental illness and/or not capable of processing reality are hearing bits and pieces of media lies, news, conspiracies, all of it, and coming to these crazy conclusions like this guy did.

The thing he said about how "the second phase of what took place on 9/11 is about to take place. And that’s why Putin’s over here saber-rattling" doesn't make any sense, it's just two big news items that are popular with conspiracists being repeated back in an incoherent way by someone who clearly has intellectual and emotional/mental issues.

The 64 year old man who was a sniper in Las Vegas...killing 50 people...is another example.

Cue the delusional 'it was worse in the 70s' trolls

At least15 people were struck and 3 killed in a series of outdoor shootings across Brooklyn and the Bronx Tuesday. 5 shootings were reported in a roughly 6-hour span following the worst subway shooting in the city's history.

[quote] Well it's true that he didn't actually kill anyone, and he's an EDP. We should have sympathy for him.

R343 EDP, as in erectile dysfunction patient?

There are so many guns now. Ghost guns that aren't registered...can't be traced and are easy to obtain. The gun culture in this country is out of control. I really don't know what can be done about it. Yes, common sense laws and closing loopholes is a start...but if someone really wants a gun, it still wouldn't be hard. It's a Pandora's box that is open... now how to close it with all the ills contained.

I'm all for freedom of speech, but I wish we could crack down on all the hate speech and conspiracy theory stuff. They have freedom in the UK, Canada, Australia, etc, but these kinds of incidents do not happen as often in those places as they do here. Of course reasonable gun safety is another part of the equation. Something bad happens in Australia or New Zealand or where ever, and within days, they change their laws to address the problem. Here, we offer thoughts and prayers.

Look at the eyebrows. I think he's a drag queen by night.

There is rarely cohesion in American society.

Will Smith emboldened him.

If he’s only 5’5” he’s got short man rage issues too.

The puzzling bit: what stopped him from killing his victims? Just maimed them, but no murder?

There were 33 shots. It's a miracle (or amazing) that no one was killed. I think I heard that his gun jammed at one point.

Why do people post possible sightings without identifying the location, date and time?

These are the streetwalkers he misses

r343 what does EDP refer to?

What was this guys job? Have they said? Anyone know?

Emotionally disturbed person - EDP

Thanks r368

R357: "I'm all for freedom of speech, just as long as I agree with everything that's said." Stunning and brave.

[quote] Something bad happens in Australia or New Zealand or where ever, and within days, they change their laws to address the problem

R357 Life is so much easier elsewhere, especially to those who are ignorant of elsewhere. Australia and New Zealand both have completely different government systems (Westminster), different mentalities and, the most important factor, miniscule, homogeneous populations, as compared to the US.

R357, is a fucking idiot.

There can be no gun control until the borders are dealt with. Nobody knows what is coming across the Southern border. It’s insane to restrict gun ownership from citizens but allow anyone to come across the border carrying whatever they want.

[quote] what stopped him from killing his victims? Just maimed them, but no murder?

The fool set off a smoke bomb in a narrow enclosed space forgetting smoke works both ways. He was shooting blind, not firing aimed shots.

[quote] The shooter was using a Ghost Gun.

Ahh the new scary gun boogeyman. According to police it was a Glock 17 nine millimeter.. Not really to my taste.

r364 the original poster did, sort of, in the comments under his original tweet.

[quote]The shooter was using a Ghost Gun.

BOO!

"The gun used, a 9mm Glock 17, had a serial number, and was sold at a pawn shop in Columbus, Ohio in 2011 by James, sources told CBS2. James did not have a license for the weapon in New York City. "

[quote]There can be no gun control until the borders are dealt with. Nobody knows what is coming across the Southern border. It’s insane to restrict gun ownership from citizens but allow anyone to come across the border carrying whatever they want.

Oh, bless your little special needs heart, r373. You're obviously new to DL. We require a bit more stealth and subtlety from trolls. But...you tried.

Look. The reason no one is saying locations on twitter is....$50,000 reward. I bet you there are little groups of housewives or Goombahs in Bayside and surroundings, looking for his tubby ass right now. He stupidly abandoned his ride... and now we know his name and his picture is plastered everywhere. So unless he has another ride (I think he does) then he is fucked.

OK. Let's play pretend. You are Frankie James. You abandon you rented U Haul on a city street, tote a suitcase to the subway and shoot it up, then you leave the gun, the ammo, and a bag of fireworks and flee the scene. You should have raced back to your U Haul and drove away in the chaos. Then they wouldn't know who did it. But you panicked. So now what? Did you have another rental located elsewhere that you hopped into to get away? Are you back in PA? did you head south? (Bette weather) What does DL think?

[Quote] There can be no gun control until the borders are dealt with. Nobody knows what is coming across the Southern border.

I assume you must mean the southern border of NYC

But that's RACIST!

He was found at St Marks and 1st, involved in some kind of stabbing. Great.

Video of his arrest.

He looks a lot taller than 5'5"

It's all true r383. Imagine American cities without blacks. Heaven!

Live NYPD/FBI press conference.

R387- It reminds me of what Lisa Lampinelli said in her stand up act- Remember that show from the 50's with those characters Fonzie and Richie Cunningham- there were NO black people on that show- (she looks down then up and realizes and says-) Oh yeah, that's why they called it HAPPY DAYS.

Here's the guy who saw him and called 911.

"Zack" looks like somebody who would shout Bababooey

As usual, the police and FBI are praising themselves to high heaven for this arrest, even though it's a citizen that spotted him and called 911.

R386 Unless the police officer is 4’10”

R390- I wonder if the dl people would find this Latino Cub/Bear cute

Zack is adorable!

Families are weird. Or nonexistent. The living sister says she hasn't spoken to him much in years. She believes he makes podcasts and says he is not mentally ill (she is offended) and is surprised the perp is her brother.

HOW CAN YOU WATCH YOUR BROTHER RANT ON YOUTUBE like this maniac and not be concerned he's batshit?

Are people DUMB? All in denial?

[Quote] And tons of feral blacks who are unable to live in a civilized society.

Like all those people invading the Capitol….oops, they were white

But where is Zack's neck? I am very concerned.

R397. They were tourists

Zack should get some head out if this.

More of our hero Zack.

Still, no neck

[quote]Like all those people invading the Capitol….oops, they were white

I don't worry about white rednecks when I'm walking around NY or on the subway.

Zack for Mayor!

[quote]I don't worry about white rednecks when I'm walking around NY or on the subway.

Because God knows mass shootings have never been carried out by gun-obsessed rednecks.

r404 in day to day life walking around NYC, there is no fear of white rednecks. Trust me on this.

r402:

[quote]It's all true r383. Imagine American cities without blacks. Heaven!

Nope r406

r405 - So trixie, what made you so racist?

Different poster r408

My fault and apologies, r402/r407 ...I meant r405. You, r402 are a prince(ss) among DLers.

Zack is very cute, but doesn't look like anybody I ever see anywhere I go in NYC.

He is cute. IFHH.

R411 = chubby chaser!

[quote]I don't worry about white rednecks when I'm walking around NY or on the subway.

Go hold hands with your boyfriend in some white, Evangelical/baptist stronghold. See how you're greeted.

But r414 I'm in NYC. Why would that be relevant to my life?

Zack wants that money and he is building his "brand" on Twitter so he can secure it. IMO he should share it with the man who found the U Haul van, but WTF, right? This is America. Get the money.

Meat on da bonezz r412!

Where did all these Klanners come from? Actually, it’s a few cretinous roaches whom I’ve blocked that just need to be stomped out of existence.

Looks like Zach's about to become $50k richer. Good for him.

r418 thank you for alerting us all to let us know who you've blocked. We were all hanging our of our chairs to know.

That’s a nice chunk of money for a phone call. I can’t believe this guy was just walking around Manhattan. But then again, people have noted that you can kind of walk around Manhattan without people really noticing you.

[quote]Looks like Zach's about to become $50k richer. Good for him.

By the time the Feds, NY State and NY City take their cut, Zach will have just enough to buy a box of Andes Mints.

Yeah, r422. I'd hit send before I thought to factor that in. It seems like reward money should be exempt.

I'm surprised this guy stayed in NYC...in the Village. You would think he would be far away from the crime. Kudos to the sharp eyed NYer, Zach.

It's almost like the perp wanted to get caught.

R63 9/11 was a one-time event not a continuing series of attacks

Zack is a g! I was just at happy hour around that block last week..

R403...Zach is having his 15 (or so) minutes...lol.

Get used to it. Doesn't matter where you live. In America mass shootings can happen anywhere, anytime. On the street, at a mall, church, movie theater, school, or where you work. Why should NY be any different? Our country is flooded with crazy people who can obtain unlimited military-grade weapons. Our popular culture glorifies violence, promotes the crazy conspiracy theories that madden the killers, and tells people they are justified in acting out if they have a grievance.

It's been said before, but it's really true. If the Sandy Hook massacre of children didn't prompt any changes, what could?

I agree R429....especially your last statement.

No, wait. Cagey Frankie James!!! HE called the cops on himself, to alert them to where he was...at McDonalds, and then he walked out...and they caught him, and Zack had no part in it. Nada.

Has he been released without bail yet?

Hey gays! Watch me on WWHL with guest bartender Zack as I name Frank James “Jackhole of the Week”.

Does Frank James get the $50,000 reward?

How is this affecting Pamela Anderson's Broadway debut?

Frank James is hot. Who's looking at his neck, or lack thereof? Interestingly there wasn't single mention of him on the local NBC and CBS afternoon news here in NYC.

Zack was not the one who called. It was someone at McDonald's.

So Brooklyn still is, like, some kind of place?

If there is any rough handling of this man by NYPD, open an investigation into the violation of his civil rights.

he's definitely taller than 5'5'

He's a fat cunt. over 300 pounds. He posted a video of himself in the gym where he stepped on the scale.

Well, the fucking cunt has his retirement secured! Free food and housing and health care for the next decade at least!

[quote]Our country is flooded with crazy people who can obtain unlimited military-grade weapons.

Which is absolutely insane. These weapons should never be available to the general public.

He's got some large-sized moobs.

I called it: he wanted to get caught.

Three hots and a cot for life. Good for him.

Yeah, he will lose that weight with prison diet.

[quote] crazy people who can obtain unlimited military-grade weapons. --- Which is absolutely insane. These weapons should never be available to the general public.

Wish granted. They aren't available to "the general public".

He claims he's been a mental patient since the 80s...do you think he will claim insanity?!

r448 you know what was meant, stop being such a twat.

If there's no regulation preventing it Frankie might get his own reward...

That man was found in the East Village. It gives me chills that DLers could have walked right past him in the past 24 hours!

62 yo Black incel. Isn't that interesting.

I think it’s a first, r453.

Yeah, just read that he called the cops himself. He told them he was gonna be at that McDonalds. When they got there, he was gone so they were searching the area and finally found him.

Before YouTube took down his videos, I had visited them, because earlier in this thread people had posted. I wrote messages on a dozen of them that he needed to turn himself in immediately, that he was out of control and would soon be a spree killer.

He is a racist. Hated whites. and also asians. he used term slanted eyed motherfuckers.

he hated blacks too. He was filled with hate for everyone, including himself.

OOPs, I shouldn't have written in the past tenses. Still very much alive.

yes, he hates the world. Guess he is very angry and bitter about his life and how he never got ahead etc etc.

I cannot stand Eric Adams, every time he speaks, it's like he's trying to give some kind of oscar winning performance for best speech. Dude, just talk like a normal person.

R461- What do you think of him here?

My main concern with riding the subway is the lack of police presence. It was bad before the pandemic, but it in the last two years it's become non-existing. It's a fucking free-for-all. Homeless, mentally disturbed, aggressive behavior, smoking in the train, and riders who are supposed to still wear masks not giving a shit. If they expect less crime in the train system, is it supposed to happen by serendipity?

Brooklyn subway terror suspect Frank James was ‘quiet and moody’ in group therapy

Albert Wilder, 57, said he last saw James at the Argus Community headquarters in the Bronx about three months ago.

“He was sitting here and he was quiet and moody,” Wilder said.

“Y’know, when someone looks like they’re in the middle of something and you afraid to talk to them because they’re upset. That was him!”

Wilder, who said he goes to Argus Community as a condition of his release from prison for unspecified crimes, also described James as “a street person.”

“He frequents trains and buses,” Wilder said.

“He always between 219th and 230th street in the Bronx when I see him.”

James is suspected of opening fire on a subway car in Brooklyn during Tuesday’s morning rush, shooting and wounding 10 people and leaving another 19 injured.

In videos posted on YouTube, he said he had a diagnosed mental illness and railed against what he called the “horror show” of the city’s mental health services.

James also blamed Mayor Eric Adams, saying during an extended rant, “Mr. Mayor, I’m a victim of your mental health program.”

“I’m 63 now — full of hate, full of anger, and full of bitterness,” he added.

Discovery of the videos led the NYPD to increase security for Hizzoner.

James was busted Wednesday by the NYPD in Manhattan’s East Village after he called the NYPD Crime Stoppers hotline and told police to come and get him at a local McDonald’s restaurant.

Argus Community offers a variety of residential and outpatient programs to “help severely disadvantaged teens and adults to free themselves from poverty and drug abuse,” according to its website.

“Argus provides a drug-free, safe and nurturing environment in which persons living on the fringes of society can acquire education and skills and transform maladaptive attitudes and behaviors,” the site says.

The nonprofit has $84.3 million worth of contracts with New York state, primarily with the Office of Addiction Services and Supports, as well as $233,000 in contracts with the city’s Department of Youth and Community Development and the Department of Small Business Services, public records show.

An Argus Community supervisor declined to comment.

Every time I hear Eric Adams speak, I hear Tracy Morgan in my head.

[quote]My main concern with riding the subway is the lack of police presence

They're still there, Adams just put them all at the end of the lines to throw the homeless people off in Jamaica, the Bronx, Coney Island, Astoria, the Rockaways, and Ozone Park.

Anything to keep them away from Manhattan.

Thank God someone is doing something good for Manhattan!

I see the cops in subway stations, during rush hours. I see them in midtown. Sometimes I see them riding the trains, it's always 2 cops together.

I had to go out to Jamaica for something last week. There were easily two dozen cops on each of the two platforms.

Nothing at any of the other stations, mind.

Has MSNBC said that the white supremacist system is at fault for making him crazy? I expect they and many others will do that racialist blame game soon.

[quote]Has MSNBC said that the white supremacist system is at fault for making him crazy?

I've been in Manhattan 3-4 days a week since Sept 2020 and only place I ever see cops in the subway system is in certain major hub stations such as Grand Central near the Main Concourse area, or in Union Square near the turnstiles. They are never policing, they are congregating in a group and socializing. One of my coworkers got mad one day after being harassed and threatened by a guy on the platform on her way to work, and she scolded the cops who were hanging out upstairs on her way out of Grand Central, telling them they are good for nothing bums who want the paycheck that comes with the job but none of the responsibility.

Looking through this thread, it gives me pain to see all these clan grannies who don't even have a little bit of pity for this man and what he has gone thru in life.

He’s quite well fed.

r473

She should've told the that someone was overturning the donut cart on the subway platform. They'd call in the swat team!

He fired 33 shots in a moving subway car.

No pity to spare for him R474. Just thankful he was caught and that none of his victims have life threatening injuries.

Wow it sure must be nice to be white!

R473- I see the same thing at the entrance to Penn station- The two cops just stand in their booth doing NOTHING all day while the crazies stand there SCREAMING at no one in particular.

The cops should just blow their fucking heads off!

[quote]Has MSNBC said that the white supremacist system is at fault for making him crazy?

Oh yeah. Joy Reid did a whole "WHITE DEVIL AND THE EVIL THEY DO" segment on it tonight.

Got any other pathetic racist questions on your mind, Gomer?

It must be.

I'm white.

So am I.

I'm white too!

I'm white you filthy unbelieving Godless heathens!

I didn't realize the Post still had reporters from 1963 working for them.

Heard on the news that he turned himself in. Does that mean that he gets the 50,000.00 reward money?

Yes R490. That’s exactly what it means.

Perhaps somebody on the subway called him the n word?

I'm so upset that it appears they keep the hot cops in the E. Village and we get the ugly hippos.

You watch The View r499??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Frau!

The queen has spoken.

Whoopi Goldberg Goddess on subway shooting, "Nothing to see here, Whitey move on." Joy Behar, Yes, Ma'am. Absolutely right. its a black thing we have no right to comment on it. . Off hand whisper. Did I get that right Ms. Whoopi?

2 teens shot during attempted car break in in Queens

Man attacked by 3 men and dragged out of subway

I don't know why they made such a big deal about the subway shooting. There were about 4 or 5 people that got shot in NYC the week before. Up the Bronx or harlem

Here's the shootings that happened on Tuesday in the Bronx

1. Three people shot, one died.

2. one hour later cops got a call about a woman fatally shot inside her car.

3. Then they got a call from a woman who said someone shot her in the head. She died.

4. That same night, they got a call about 4 people being shot. They all lived, but one was shot in the back.

Just another day in the Bronx. R64 and R71 thinks this is nothing and crime is super low and that you are all just racist and making a big deal about nothing.

I wouldn't surprised if 50 people got shot this weekend

R507 it was premediated unlike most of the random, unprovoked subway violence and more sensational i.e., newsworthy

[quote] it was premediated

by a serious black racist attacking New York.
