NYPD: Man Brain-Dead Following Random Rampage In Union Square




NYPD's Hate Crimes unit is investigating after a man allegedly declared he would attack the first white person he came across, then punched and knocked out a 69-year-old man in Union Square Wednesday.

LaShawn Marten, 31, of Morningside Heights, is accused of attacking three people in the busy plaza Wednesday afternoon, according to the NYPD. Police said the suspect, who is black, punched the 69-year-old white man in the face, causing serious injuries. The suspect then punched a 48-year-old person and an 18-year-old person, both also white.

The 69-year-old victim was being treated for critical injuries at Bellevue Hospital, police said. He slipped into a coma after the attack, police say.

The suspect "made statements to the effect that ‘I’m going to punch the first white man that I see," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said.

James Hall-Collins shot video in the aftermath of the attack. The attack appeared to be completely random, he said.

"It was random, it was for no apparent reason," said Hall-Collins. "He just walked up and hit him."

Well to be fair, white people can be very annoying. But again, there's this part of me that hates that this is a "hate crime". Is that ironic? Anyway, what's so very wrong with just filing assault charges?

All people are annoying. It's how we choose to react to one another that matters.

In my experience punching people is a better choice for the giver than the receiver.

And very cool, deep, zen like moment there too! You've been meditating? ;)

Sure a good thing then that it wasn't some redneck yelling he hated blacks.

Maybe he lives off his chess winnings and this is simply a workplace violence thing. They were playing touch-move and the victim touched his pawn but didn't move it. Understandable.

Ya know.... if the di ckhead had punched a black guy, or even an oriental, along with the white guys he decked, I'd be likely to side with your assessment. As that is NOT what happened, then it has everything to do with race and nothing about "mental illness" ( that being a typical libtard excuse whenever someone does stupid things). He's a fu cking racist, plain and simple. He stated he hated white people and then decked 3 white people. Don't need to look any deeper than the obvious.
