most of these attacks are perpetrated by nonfbas who are likely released from jail to do these crimes with the help of law enforcement. shyts a blatantly obvious trend

Do you really think most people bother to make these distinctions?

I'm so tired of this shyt. Of being thought of as the sum total of whatever bullshyt other black people get up to, and not for me. It makes you want to say "fukk it" and disengage from society. Like the only people you'll care to deal with are family and a handful of close childhood friends. Let the chips fall where they may, and they absolutely WILL fall a certain way due (the lack of nuance/context on conversations surrounding #StopAsianHate is a good indicator of this). A way that will continue to disproportionately devastate black people.

Just before the attack, Maria Coste-Weber, who lives near Hudson Yards, was standing on the Times Square subway platform, waiting for a train to take her to a boxing class. She said she saw a man moving quickly toward the tracks, arms outstretched.

“He started running with both of his hands in front of him, like, tackling,” Ms. Coste-Weber said. “But it was so fast, nobody realized what was going on before it was too late.”

Ms. Go was standing near a group of women, preparing to board the train as it pulled into the station.

“She had her back to this crazy person,” Ms. Coste-Weber said. “She never saw anything.”

Ms. Go was the second woman confronted by Mr. Martial in the station, the police said. Minutes before, another woman told the police that she had drawn away from Mr. Martial, fearful that he might push her to the tracks.

Again these guys seem to be clear headed enough to only approach women. Or men they know won’t slump their asses on sight.

You're a full clown, who will never amount to anything.

The way the CAC media has spun this into some "Asian Hate" nonsense is amazing.

Completely ignoring that the majority of hate crimes happen against us.

Just look at how many more hate crimes are committed against us than them.

the media doesn't even cover it

Hate crimes hit 12-year high in United States in 2020 -FBI

August 30, 2021·2 min read


By Jan Wolfe

NEW YORK (Reuters) -The number of hate crimes in the United States rose last year to the highest level in more than a decade, driven by a rise in assaults targeting Black victims and victims of Asian descent, the FBI reported on Monday.

The 2020 data, submitted to the FBI by more than 15,000 law enforcement agencies across the country, identified 7,759 hate-crimes in 2020, a 6% increase over 2019 and the highest tally since 2008.

The FBI data showed the number of offenses targeting Blacks rose to 2,755 from 1,930 and incidents against Asians jumped to 274 from 158.

Of the 7,426 hate crime offenses classified as crimes against people, as opposed to crimes against property, 53.4% were for intimidation, 27.6% were for simple assault and 18.1% were for aggravated assault. Twenty-two murders and 19 rapes were reported as hate crimes.

“Preventing and responding to hate crimes and hate incidents is one of the Justice Department’s highest priorities," U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "The FBI Hate Crime Statistics for 2020 demonstrates the urgent need for a comprehensive response."

The Justice Department has warned that white supremacist groups represent a rising security threat after the deadly Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

At the same time, reports of hate-inspired attacks on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have also been on the rise, spurred by what many say were then-President Donald Trump's inflammatory remarks blaming the COVID-19 pandemic on China.

In May, Garland outlined new steps to help state and local police track and investigate hate crimes, which historically have been an under-reported crime to the FBI by local law enforcement, and called for the department to expedite the review of possible hate crimes.

A hate crimes bill to combat violence against Asian Americans passed the U.S. Senate in April with overwhelming bipartisan support.

The measure designated a Justice Department employee to expedite a review of hate crimes reported to police during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Subway Will Test Platform Doors at 3 Stations

More than a month after a woman was shoved to her death in front of a moving subway train, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will install barriers that block access to the tracks at three stations, the agency’s chief executive said on Wednesday.

The move is a reversal for the transit authority, which has long resisted calls for such barriers, calling them impractical, expensive and incompatible with such an old subway system.

As recently as last month, Janno Lieber, the M.T.A.’s chief executive, said that the barriers — known as platform edge doors or platform screen doors — were unfeasible given the “special complexities” in New York’s subway, a sprawling, 104-year-old system with 472 stations and 665 miles of track.

But the agency said it needed to address the problem of more people ending up on the tracks, so officials have decided to test platform doors as a possible solution.

In an interview on NY1 on Wednesday, Mr. Lieber said that transit officials would move to install the doors in a pilot program at the Times Square station, the Sutphin Boulevard—Archer Avenue–JFK Airport station in Queens and the Third Avenue station in Manhattan.

At Times Square, one of the system’s busiest stations, doors will be placed on the No. 7 line platform, but not the R train platform where a 40-year-old woman, Michelle Alyssa Go, was shoved to her death last month. A homeless man who confessed to having pushed Ms. Go was charged in her killing, which shocked a city already worried about safety on the subway.



Last month, as calls for the doors mounted, the transit authority released a detailed 3,000-page report from 2019 that found the doors would be able to be installed at only 128 stations — about a quarter of all stops on the system — because of station layout, subway car design and the need for wheelchair access.

Common sense solution. I commend them for it.


Reminds of how the taller japanese builings have nets below them and barriers at their tops to prevent suicide.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

the possibility of being pushed onto the tracks is a part of NYC culture.
removing that would dilute said culture.
