released on their own recognizance.

The 20-year-old accused of throwing the fatal punch that killed a 52-year-old taxi driver in Queens threatened to pummel a Post reporter on Thursday at Rikers Island.

During a jailhouse visit, Austin Amos flew into a rage after hearing that his visitor was a journalist.

“I can’t believe y’all are doing this s–t!” shouted Amos, dressed in a jail-issued beige shirt and pants. He shook his head from side to side in frustration.

“You’ve got to the count of five!” he said after standing up and balling up his fist.

Correction officers keeping watch outside the metal visiting pen shouted to the reporter to quickly get out.

One correction officer later said Amos was “young” and “a real hothead.”

Amos was a part of a group of five passengers that, around 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 13., tried to rob cabbie and married father of four Kutin Gyimah, police said.

After Gyimah dropped off the group near Arverne Boulevard and Beach 54th Street in Far Rockaway, the group ran off without paying. The driver chased down the passengers to collect the fare, but they brutally beat him.

Amos, who allegedly delivered the fatal swing that caused the driver to fall and hit his head on the sidewalk, was charged with manslaughter and assault, as well as gang assault and theft of services.

Are all these crimes being perpetrated by black people, or are whites committing rampant crime in NYC also? I never see rampant white crime on these reports.

No, r82, white people in New York City are overwhelmingly law abiding citizens, calm cool and collected. If ANY white people in this country are justified in feeling racist, it's the ones who live in NYC. So of course 100% needless to say, it's the whites out in 'Murica who are racist, and the whites here (mostly) aren't. Everything the complete fucking opposite of how it should be, as usual.

NYC opens $6M ‘welcome center’ for flood of migrants, kids shipped here

City officials have quietly opened a “welcome center” to handle some of the roughly 8,000 newly arrived migrants that have flooded the Big Apple in recent weeks, The Post has learned.

The facility — aimed at enrolling their children in schools, offering job placement and helping the migrants complete their immigration paperwork — is operating out of the Red Cross complex in Hell’s Kitchen.

It is part of a $6.7 million city contract issued in August aimed at helping the thousands who have trekked or been shipped here to integrate into the five boroughs.

“The concept and the plan is to have various city providers on site as a one-stop, one-time, get as many things done as you can,” said a source familiar with the operation, who said the planning had been underway for about two weeks.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒖𝒏 𝒃𝒚 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒄 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔, which recently posted a notice on its website seeking volunteers to help.

The Department of Homeless Services now says that it has selected a finalist to manage the new initial processing point for migrants, where they complete a screening for physical and mental needs before being assigned a bed in the shelter system.

That request also called on potential contractors to line up 600 hotel rooms to go alongside the intake facility, which were initially slated for the ROW NYC hotel. However, that location was scotched and its unclear where they may now be located.

Mayor Eric Adams described the facility as being in the midst of a “soft opening” when asked about its delayed start-up on Monday. “𝑾𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕, 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆, 𝒂𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆,” he said.

Have you ever actually read a history book?

November 2, 1966, -- Cuban Adjustment Act, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson granted work authorization permits and lawful permanent residency (green card status) to any Cuban native or citizen who settled in the United States for at least one year. The Cuban population in the United States grew from 79,000 to 439,000 between 1960 and 1970 as thousands of Cuban exiles sought asylum in the U.S. following hostilities surrounding the Cuban Revolution and termination of diplomatic relations between the two countries on January 3, 1961.

“This is like back in the 70s. We’re back to the 70s again,” said a witness.

I have been saying this for the last few years. All great cities go through an up and down cycle. NY has been riding one way too long. It was bound to happen. Smart gays will get out now while their real estate is still worth a lot of money. Creatives have already left for the most part. All that's going to be left is a city of Realtors selling million dollar listings to each other pretending the ground floor is not a dystopian wasteland of filth, crime and fecal matter.

If you think you can ride it out, think again. It's just starting it's decline, it will take a decade to truly hit bottom, and it's far easier to slide down a hill then to climb up, maybe another 20 years.

R146 It's never been worse despite what some keep claiming. It's a new and dangerous criminal element with people opening fire on the street in broad daylight shooting from BMWs or robbing on mopeds or scooters. People being killed for too little duck sauce or cold fries. Stabbings sucker punching, and shootings are daily events. And even if it was worse who gives a fuck!

Keep letting those illegals in. This sanctuary city thing is a disaster.

This is actually how I always pictured NY. Not some clean modern city. Watch some old movies from the 60's and 70's and you can see how gritty and dangerous it was. The old girl got dressed up for a decade or two but now the night is over and the lipstick has worn off. The true NY was always gritty, depressing, bitter and somewhat dangerous place to live. On the plus side, the rents were a LOT cheaper.

All the creatives have left NY already. They cant afford it. And no, being a reality TV star as some queen Realtor does not make you a creative. Those are just media whores. They don't create anything, they sell, like used car salesmen.

It doesn't upset me to look at these threads. I just find it weird that FNY posts almost nothing but crime stats, thousands of them over dozens of threads - so I occasionally comment on it.

Speaking of... if it "upsets" you to read the crime stats, r166 as you just claimed, why would you post r117 ("Two stabbed") and r118 (about a woman shot to death)?

Come to think of it - "an ex-New Yorker" sounds very much like "Former New Yorker". Is that you, too? Just how many devices are you on?

Jilted axe-wielding man, 31, WALKS FREE without bail after being arrested by woke NYC officials for smashing up McDonald's in berserk rampage

The axe-wielding man who was filmed menacing customers in a New York McDonald's over the weekend has been released without bail at his arraignment on Sunday, authorities said.

Michael Palacios, 31, was rejected by a young woman moments leading before the incident, a witness has revealed - sending the jilted suspect into a rage.

The incident at the Lower East Side eatery on Delancey Street in Manhattan transpired early Friday at roughly 2:25 am, police said - and saw Bronx resident Palacios arrested for brandishing the weapon.

Palacios was arraigned on fourth-degree criminal-mischief and possession-of-weapons charges, and neither charge is eligible for bail under the state's relaxed criminal-justice reforms.

He even responded to the incident on Instagram, and said 'After the 5 minute police chase through the lower East side the NYPD told me "that was fun chase."'

'Traffic was weak and I couldn't get out of the neighborhood I fell of my bike making a hair pin turn from the street to the sidewalk, landing on my shoulder and dislocating it,' he continued in the post.

'They took me to the hospital and than jail. And now I'm out. Some of you want me to go to jail? Already did! Haha. So Have a great day,' he gloated.

I was thinking about this today. Why are people always going on about New York's problems? They're obsessed.

NY has had problems for the last 100 years. Anyone remember when Central Park was so underfunded it was deemed dangerous?

Frankly, NY seems to be doing a lot better today than it ever has.

It's going through a cycle R222. It's not doing better. Housing prices are so high it's driving out the middle-class and the working class. Creatives have been leaving in droves because it's affordably unless you are famous. So yeah, if you are rich, then yes, your life is better than ever but you need more than the rich to sustain the lifeblood of a city.

If you study how cities grow, they all have upswings and downswings. Yes, in the 70's Central Park and a lot of other places like the subway were very dangerous. 20 years later it's cleaned up. But you cant ride high forever. 40 years is a long time to ride high. It's inevitable to fall into decline and you are now starting to see the tip of the iceberg. It wont happen overnight but in another 10 years of this or so, don't be surprised if it's as bad as it was in the 70's. Then 20-40 years from that maybe another upswing.

R220 Oh, my sides! 🤣

[Quote] Frankly, NY seems to be doing a lot better today than it ever has.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul blasts woke Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for 'going soft' on ax-wielding McDonald's thug who busted up fast food joint after being 'rejected by a young woman'

Palacios flew into a rage when a woman inside the Delancy Street restaurant rejected his advances - and others inside laughed at him.

On Monday, he told ABC News that he never intended to hurt anyone, and just wanted to teach them a lesson about mocking him.

'My intentions were not to hurt anyone,' he said. 'My intentions were not to put anyone in the hospital or dice anybody up.

'The reason why I pulled out the hatchet was, 'Ok, I'm gonna get back at these guys. I'm gonna make sure that they don't jump me again.'

He insisted he was a 'normal guy' and was not mentally ill.

Palacios was freed thanks to a new rule brought in by Bragg, who took over on January 1.

He decreed that only those arrested for homicide and other serious crimes would be bailed.

New York is now the world's largest ghetto.

The pictures are disturbing, and it's scary to think he was released. The incident happened on Friday and he's already out!

I guess that was what I was driving at R223. All of this drama is just the latest in the swings and roundabouts that is NY life. I don't put much stock in all of this pearl clutching.

For the rest of the 21st century, liberals will forever wonder how they went astray (and subsequently lost power) when the answers were in front of them all along.

I'm a wimp but took my two teens to NYC for the first time (not the first time we've been, just the first time without another adult) on Saturday. It helped that the weather was perfect, but we had a great time. One guy did ask me for a slice of pizza in the train station, but he was super skinny and obviously needed it and he was polite. I bought him a slice, and my kids were eager to tell my husband when we got home that night. My husband said it would've been nice if I'd gotten the guy a soda too. Oops.

Anyway, we had a fun walking around the Met and back to Rockefeller Center. On one street (closer to Times Square and the train station) I did see people living and sleeping in boxes. Felt bad for them but they didn't bug us or hassle us in any way. There were tons of people and cops out because, like I said, it was a beautiful day.

The only issue for us was that it is SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE. No way around that that I know. Either you take the train and spend a ton on that (plus parking at the train station and we did take a taxi one way, then walked our butts off on the way back), or drive and pay tons of tolls and around $80 for parking and you still probably have to take a taxi some where. So for three or four people, well over $100 in transportation.

This isn't just a NYC problem. People have lost their minds.

[quote] That's Salinas Ca, it's been the number one murder rated in CA for decades. Nothing new, it's been a poor white trash city for as long as I have been alive

. The 2020 United States census reported that Salinas had a population of 163,542. The racial makeup of Salinas was

32.1% white,

79.2% Hispanic or Latino,

1.4% African American,

6.4% Asian,

0.1% Native Hawaiian and other pacific Islander, 0.8% American Indian and Alaska native, 6.8% Two or more races.

How are you posting from the afterlife? I don't think they've been a white trash city in a very long time. But tacos sell very well there.

Woke DA does it again

R243 I too looked up info about Salinas, CA and for the last decade or so much of the violent crime is gang related. And I'm sure Salinas doesn't have to worry about losing tourist revenue and having offices workers reluctant to return to all those empty office buildings.

Disturbing trend

And in less than 2 months it's gone from bad to worse.

Journalistic malpractice to call it " gun violence ".

It's deliberate actions by gangs of sociopath thugs and general hoodlums unleashed by deliberately hobbled law enforcement policies and raised by families who never thought of teaching them right from wrong.

The city hasn't really bounced back and the 24/7 city that never sleeps is no more. Many venues close earlier than that did before the pandemic and many simply can't get workers. Many are still working from home and that's a large loss of revenue.

LA and NYC REFUSE to hand over crime stats to FBI for national figures as murder rises by 4.3% and rape by 3.9% across the country

The FBI's annual crime report showed murders were up by 4.3 percent and rapes up by 3.9 percent last year in the US

It also reports a 1 percent drop in overall crime, however, several cities failed to report their crime figures, including New York City and Los Angeles

Both large cities are contending with more than 300 murders so far this year, with robberies and overall violent crime soaring

Analysts fear that the missing data is skewing the proper view of crime in the US

n its annual analysis of crime in America, the FBI said their were about 22,900 murders in 2021, up from the 22,000 in 2020, which saw homicides soar by nearly 30 percent.

The FBI also saw 107,500 rape reports, nearly a 4 percent increase, but overall crime was reportedly down 1 percent since robberies fell by 8.2 percent and aggravated assaults remained at about the same level as the previous year.

Crime for New York City and Los Angeles, however, were absent in the FBI's data as police in the city failed to submit their records to the bureau's new collection systems, leaving the agency to fill in the blanks with estimates.

For those of us who actually live in NYC - and aren't just posting from our mothers' basements in Wisconsin - what is the Datalounge protocol for this never-ending stream of violent crime?

I feel like posting about car accidents is a little unfair, since New York City is the very definition of car culture (seriously, check out how many cars are in NYC compared to every other city in the nation).

LA would have something to say about that, R302

Ok, so LA (one city, which I knew somebody would bring up because people only acknowledge my existence when they want to prove me wrong) has more cars. Big whoop. New York City still has FAR more cars than any other city in the US.

Which is why the streets are so unsafe. So many cars on the streets with Citi Bikes and bike lanes and dining sheds taking up so much space on the streets.

waste of gas waste of time and the noise!

Reason enuff for people to work remotely

You just think you have the most cars because there is so little room, compared to places like LA and you always have traffic messes.

Over the years Manhattan lost some many outdoor parking lots to construction. The entire block which now contains Worldview Plaza in Midtown was a huge parking lot and gas stations which were on virtually every block along 10th Ave are practically obsolete. The outdoor dining sheds have eliminated thousands of parking spaces which forces trucks making deliveries to take up lanes of traffic. So much congestion!

A reputed gangbanger was ordered held without bail Sunday in the shooting death of a 15-year-old boy on a Queens subway train — while claiming he was the real victim.

Keyondre Russell’s lawyer said his 18-year-old client was jumped by a group of people and shot in the leg, with the bullet then possibly passing through Russell’s limb and striking Jayjon Burnett, mortally wounding him.

“I don’t know what his problem is with me,” he said of Burnett. “I got shot. I heard a gunshot, and I don’t know where it came from.”

Davis said Russell, who dropped out of school after the 10th grade, does not have a record and still lives at home with his mother and has six siblings.

But Assistant District Attorney Christine Occhiogrosso called the slaying “a gang-related incident,” and said Russell was picked out in two lineups and “multiple identification procedures.”

Career criminal identified as latest subway shover

A Brooklyn career criminal has been busted in Friday’s caught-on-video subway shoving — and the suspect’s kin say they were so fed up with him, they posted signs banning him from their home.

Lamale McRae — who previously did 20 years behind bars for attempted murder — was identified as a suspect in last week’s attack with the help of surveillance footage and facial-recognition technology, police sources said.

The 41-year-old suspect was arrested by the Queens Warrants Squad on Monday near his Brooklyn home, sources said.

Relatives told The Post that they were already far too weary of McRae’s antics and finally posted a sign on the stairwell in their Brooklyn building urging anyone who spotted him to call the cops.

“If you see a brown skin guy sleepin [sic] in the hallway please call the police he is trespassing,” the sign reads.

Lamale McRae, 41, is facing charges of attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment and harassment following the incident last Friday in the city’s Bushwick neighborhood, the NYPD tells Fox News.

The NYPD described McRae as having been arrested at least 14 times dating back to the early 1990s on charges including assault, burglary and robbery. He was arrested for murder when he was just 16 years old, police added.

The unsuspecting victim was standing on the No. 6 train platform when a man came up and pushed him onto the tracks.

The victim was helped back onto the platform by good Samaritans. He suffered scratches and bruising and refused medical attention at the scene, according to cops.

Surveillance images show the suspect running through the station exit gate wearing a mask, a white sweatshirt and a dark jacket and wearing different colored shoes — a black one on his right foot and a white sneaker on his left foot.

The brute is seen pulling up his sweatpants after they drop while he is fleeing the station.

Homelessness Rate: 0.89%

If you’ve ever lived in the Big Apple, then you’ll understand why the city comes first on this list. As one of the most populous cities in the country, housing prices in the city have skyrocketed over the years. Rental costs for a one-bedroom apartment average at around $3,000 – way more than the national average.

In addition, the cityprohibits camping or putting up tents in rest areas and public parks. With all these, it’s not really surprising that the city has one of the highest homeless populations in the country.

Here's a great job for a DLer: Director of Rodent Mitigation.

The Times has spoken to five men who said they were drugged at gay bars in the city — including the Eagle, the Boiler Room and the 9th Avenue Saloon — and then robbed. The Times has also spoken to a man who said he was robbed and held captive inside his apartment for several hours by someone he met on the dating app Grindr.

In each of the bar attacks, the men said they were drugged by people they did not remember meeting. When they awoke, they discovered that someone had gained access to their phone using its facial recognition technology while they were unconscious. The thieves then used apps to empty their victims’ bank accounts and max out their credit cards. Some also stole cash and valuables.

After testifying, I left City Hall. It wasn’t until hours later that I heard the racist response to my testimony from Douglas Powell, who spoke on behalf of city-funded nonprofit Vocal-NY. He and his organization want individuals such as Powell, who has a criminal record and is a level 2 registered sex offender, to be able to access housing without criminal background checks.

His testimony laid out his criminal-justice experience and his lived experience of anti-black discrimination at Asian stores — culminating in a racist attack on the Asian community where he lives. In his three-minute tirade, he called Queens’ Rego Park the most racist neighborhood because it is majority Asian. “It’s not their neighborhood — they from China, Hong Kong,” he said. “We from New York.”

This anti-Asian, perpetual-foreigner, “You don’t belong here” rhetoric is dangerous hate speech that incites violence. Unprovoked attacks on Asian New Yorkers are on the rise.

[quote]It takes me a minute or two once or twice a month to tabulate the hundreds of thousands of posts you spend every week that you post your anti NYC crime stats here.

Some posters write hundreds of thousands of posts on Sondheim, Patti, and " Follies," yet I haven't heard any complaints about them.

[quote]Some posters write hundreds of thousands of posts on Sondheim, Patti, and " Follies," yet I haven't heard any complaints about them.

That would be because those posters don't try to take over entire threads and post dozens of monotonous crime stats back-to-back, adding nothing to the conversation. FormerNewYorker has posted literally more than half the posts in this thread and infests any thread that mentions NYC, even in passing. The posters you mention are many people, and most offer something in the way of conversation. FormerNewYorker is one man, who serves no purpose other than to derail anything positive about NYC, on any thread, offering only crime porn in return.

Are you really so simple that you cannot see the difference?

R524 must be one of the Sondheim, " Follies" posters. BTW, you just added to the thread and helped keep it at the top. Are you so simple that you didn't realize what you did?

^ Oh please, FormerNewYorker. I love theater but despise Sondheim. Nice try, though.

As to adding to this thread? Sure, I do that purposefully a couple times every few weeks or so, usually after someone else has broken your crazy runs of a couple of weeks of DOZENS of your crime porn posts back-to-back. I do this to highlight your insanity. Now that I have done so for this round, I'll check in on a few weeks to see you talking to yourself again, with your tiresome cut and paste jobs from the NY Post with some lame witticism about "slicing" or something equally stupid. Too bad our current mayor doesn't have a handy nickname like the last one you thrilled to use, "Lurch". I know that took a few arrows out of your meager quiver.

Whatever will you do when this thread fills up, since your authenticated name, brandonjoseph, has been redlined as a troll?

I'd rather be stranded at an airport than this Katrina-esque mess

Where were the mayor and/or governor?

The mayor’s two-day trip on Thursday and Friday was kept under wraps by his staff. It came just as a large winter storm bore down on the city and caused major flooding in some areas

Scary Christmas

More brazen criminals

New Yorkers are too easily triggered. Avoid disputes

Fighting is the first response of thugs, R 533.

How much worse can it get?

A man was killed, and three others were injured in a shooting at a vigil for a murder victim in the Bronx on Wednesday night, police sources said.

KNIVES OUT: The Big Apple

Two officers suffered serious stab wounds. One was airlifted to Stony Brook university Hospital. The second officer was taken to the same hospital by an ambulance.

another stabbing victim

New York’s #1 — in population decline. Yes, for the second year in a row, we “led” the country by driving the most people out. And, most alarming, the biggest earners who pay most taxes in the state are leaving with them.

The double whammy spells economic doom for the Empire State.

Ridiculously high rents, ascending crime rates, # 1 target for spread of viruses, ability to do all work from home.... makes living in NY unnecessary and somewhat foolish for those with no particular attachment. That's why they are leaving.

New York Is the Worst Big City in North America to Live In

The Economist Intelligence Unit recently ranked the best and worst cities worldwide. It ranked a total of 172. The experts then turned to North America and looked at 25 cities. New York ranked near the bottom and was the worst among large cities. The yardsticks are "stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure."

What is wrong with New York? Certainly, it is not known for its education, at least at the pre-college level. New York remains one of the dirtiest cities in the country and the one with the largest rat population. Subways and bus services used by millions of people are aged. The health care system works for the wealthy but is relatively expensive for everyone else. Crime, once relatively low, has returned to high levels. The city administration has no solid plan to improve these problems.

Sorry New Yorkers, you're mayor doesn't sound convincing.

^your.

Adams is delusional

And you can't be bothered looking at two posts above you.

What are you going to do with no nurses?

No nurses and fewer police. New York, you in trouble, Gurl!

The New York Police Department has seen more resignations by officers in 2022 than at any time in the last 20 years, and many officers are working longer hours to make up for staffing shortages.

What's with all these stabbings? Have stabbings become the new 'knockout game'?

Just in time for the New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square. I'll watch from the safety of my home

With the reduction in police, anyone who would go to Times Square is major league stupid.

Ring in the New Year in New York

No wonder cops are leaving the city.

More mayhem near Times Square

With all of the recent stabbings, NYC can formally report that shootings are down.

The first fatal stabbing of 2023.

This is why you'll never find me eating in one of those temporary dining structures.

NY is overrun with hit-and-runs

'We need to wake up as a city, this is not normal'

the new NY normal

so many strays in NYC

Man Robs Child in Park Slope: — A neighborhood bully dragged a young child by his sweatshirt before stealing his phone and running off, police said.

If you had to live in NYC, you'd be angry and, if you had to live there for many years, you'd develop mental illness. That's what is causing the crime wave.

Get outta my way!

Yeah, good ol' movie musicals!

The new normal

Several slashing incidents, all within two blocks in under six hours, have left five victims injured, according to police.

What a mayor!

Liza loves NYC so much that she's living in WEHO.

NY's New Governor

Without offering specifics, she broadly vowed to crack down on hate crimes and tackle gun violence so that “New Yorkers can walk our streets, ride our subways and our kids can go to school, free from fear.”

She might as well have declared that she will cure cancer by herself.

Plunge.

R468, that kind of insane posting is classic Poo Shoes D.R. loonacy, fueled by her adderall and ritalin habits, which she also posts about occasionally.

Could be, r579, but I don't think so. This one, who used to sign himself FormerNewYorker, had the authenticated name brandonjoseph (which got redlined) and is also redlined troll 5968 in this thread. Claims to be a gay man, currently living in Weehawken, who prowled the clubs in nyc in the 80s and 90s. I believe him. He has a specific writing style and has been consistent in his backstory.

Frequently accuses others of meth use, so that may be projection on his part. In any case, he has a LOT of time on his hands and a singular obsession in his hate of NYC.

He is responsible for nearly 75% of this thread, which is mercifully coming to an end.

Speaking of familiar writing styles R579

[Quote]It doesn't upset me to look at these threads. I just find it weird that FNY posts almost nothing but crime stats, thousands of them over dozens of threads - so I occasionally comment on it.

[Quote]Speaking of... if it "upsets" you to read the crime stats, r166 as you just claimed, why would you post r117 ("Two stabbed") and r118 (about a woman shot to death)?

[Quote]Come to think of it - "an ex-New Yorker" sounds very much like "Former New Yorker". Is that you, too? Just how many devices are you on?

[Quote]I miss the old NYC that FNY and I lived in, but I still have a great life here, warts and all. It would be nice to share some of that here on DL - I kayaked all summer in nyc, for example- but FNY makes that impossible.

[Quote]Your "BORIS TROLL" is authenticated poster brandonjoseph, r99. He also posts as FormerNewYorker, or FNY. He's been posting like this for years. Thousands of anti-NYC posts in dozens of threads. Start any thread on NYC, and FNY will appear and infest it.

[Quote]He has posted well over HALF this thread, using different devices, r162. Now that he has been called out by name, he will probably go on the attack - which usually includes mothers, basements, crotch rot, and the hilarious assertation that others are "ranting" and claim they use meth. (projection?)

[Quote]Imagine all the stories FNY could write about those days. Instead, he spends a tremendous amount of time and effort posting crime stats from his beloved Weehawken.

I think I have a stalker.

[Quote]In the last 9 days, there have been 14 posts here - every single one of them by the crime blotter poster, aka FormerNewYorker. What possesses a man to do that?

[Quote]Of which there are exactly none in this thread, crime blotter poster/FormerNewYorker aka banned troll brandonjoseph.

[Quote]26 of the last 28 posts are yours.

[Quote]You are essentially talking to yourself.

She's certainly consistent and dedicated

[Quote]Don't mind him, r355. That's the crime blotter troll, FormerNewYorker, who sometimes changes tack to be a slightly less obvious general Debbie Downer. He's posted over 70 times in this thread, all of them negative. He's r356, for example.

[Quote]He has posted all but 2 of the last 50 posts in the linked thread and is responsible for almost 75% of that thread. He seems compelled to infest any nyc thread.

[Quote}in any case, he has a LOT of time on his hands and a singular obsession in his hate of NYC.

and speaking of a singular obsession and having a lot of time on their hands R580

[Quote]Too late, r398. CrimeBlotterTroll aka FormerNewYorker has officially lost it, posting 88 of the last 100 posts in the linked DL thread below. He's present quite a bit in this thread, as his Debbie Downer character. He's r 396, for example.

No place for man or beast

[Quote][R468], that kind of insane posting is classic Poo Shoes D.R. loonacy, fueled by her adderall and ritalin habits, which she also posts about occasionally.

R579 Ironically it sounds like you're describing R468 in all her 'loonacy'

R580 a troll who trolls, trolls

[Quote]My God, this thread is full of trolls. You've got the crime blotter porn troll aka FormerNewYorker, who is also the "back in the day" troll with his litany of bars. It *was* a great time to be in NYC - I worked at BoyBar, Aztec, WonderBar and a couple after hours myself, but time moves on and things change. FormerNewYorker has posted literally over half of the linked NYC thread, and 33 of the last 36 recent posts are his. Hates NYC for not being what it was in the 80s and 90s and wants you to hate it too. Lives in Weehawken.

[Quote]Miss Priss/r305 is a garden variety troll. He's also the wondering "about Brooklyn Heights" on an $80,000 salary and claims to have a husbear who participates in orgies at Eagle. Both of them just yanking everyone's chai

speaking of irony and lunacy

^yes, that's me that you are quoting, FormerNewYorker (in the now 9 posts you just posted back-to-back), from various threads.

What of it? I do occasionally comment on your bizarre behavior, usually after someone else has, like r579, so that I don't bump the thread. I *don't* do it THOUSANDS of times, in multiple threads, nor do I post dozens of posts back-to-back, and I have never posted 75% of a thread.

I leave that to you.

You are unfortunately difficult to ignore because of your sheer quantity of your posts, and the nature of them. I consider my posts about you to be a type of DL community service. At least I post on many subjects and in many threads. I actually contribute to this board. Most of your posts are repetitive copy and paste crime stats, the more gruesome the better. Then you post the same thing in multiple threads. You add nothing, and don't seem to have an original thought in your head.

In this thread, I have posted 13 times. You have posted over half that in as many minutes. You have posted over 400 times in this thread - and *I'm* the troll?

Now hurry! You're wasting precious crime blotter porn space on me. Only 10 posts left.

.

[Quote] You are unfortunately difficult to ignore because of your sheer quantity of your posts

Rose, have you ever heard of the ignore feature on DL?

^ I never use ignore except as a trolldar tool, FormerNewYorker. It slows down scrolling through the thread, and with your 400 posts here, this one would be impossible to get through.

You get in the way of conversation. This thread was originally about polio, for instance, but your 400 plus posts inhibited that discussion. You post your anti-NYC crime stats in threads that aren't even about NYC.

Besides, your peculiar pathology is a little fascinating, and calling you out brings me a small measure of satisfaction. Since you will keep doing it, I will keep calling you out as often as I care to. Somehow, in the 2 decades I have been posting here, I've never been a Muriel-designated redlined troll, as you have at least twice, and likely many more times.

Probably many more times to come, I imagine.

Have you picked your next thread to infest? No matter, there is no need to stalk you. You give yourself away.

[Quote]^ I never use ignore except as a trolldar tool, FormerNewYorker. It slows down scrolling through the thread, and with your 400 posts here, this one would be impossible to get through.

Actually, Rose it speeds things up as placing someone on ignore eliminates those posts, but something tells me you don't want to. You come off as very disingenuous.

^ but the crime is genuine

^You're wrong about that, FormerNewYorker. It eliminates the posts but slows the thread down. Anyone can tell you that. In any case, I have already explained why I don't use it for more than identifying trolls. Are you having reading compre hension problems as well?

I'm neither disingenuous, nor "fabulist!" as you like to shriek.
