No description whatsoever of the "alleged" assailant. Odd.

To: 2ndDivisionVet It doesn't take Smokin’ Joe Frazier to deliver a “hellacious haymaker” when the victim's back is turned.

As it is, it is treated like some odd weather phenomenon, mentioning it almost as an oddity, or a quirk of big city living.

Not smart, not smart at all.

You think you’re Africans, you get shipped there straightaway. You act like civilized Americans, you stay.

There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” They might want to ponder that, as well.

I hear you, gentle lady. In South Carolina, we have 20 of holder’s thugs locked up in state prison, serving 10 to 30 years.

Has anyone asked him what he intends to do about knockout crimes in NY City?
Don’t ask the police, ask the Commissar. He runs or ruins things in the Rotten Apple.
Guiliani is going to look like the GOLDEN AGE of NYC compared to Dinky Dinkins, Bloomturd and Commie’s terms in office.
Coming to a theater near you,soon - “Escape from New York 2014”. Featuring a cast of millions who are fleeing from the Red Menace and his hordes of the great unwashed, EBT Card-wielding parasites and welfare addicts.
Can anyone save them from a fate worse than a Soviet Gulag? Is a sane society doomed to a “1,000 Year Reich of Terror and Subservience”?
Will radical Moslems, with the help of the reds like DeBlasio, seize the new World Trade Center buildings and Center and make them into camel shelters?
Stay tuned. It is only going to get worse, as planned.
