#Crime #NewYorkCity #SocialMedia
Once again, the usual suspects, not surprise…
NLM if you know what I mean
Coal rollers worried now lol
Hate crime!!! Against women!!!!
She never looked prettier.
Suprise black
is it only Black Men now taking the knockout game to Women or are others involved.
Sucker punching women. That explains that race.
If a white man sucker punched a black woman it would be a Hate crime
Typical.
Black women were punched to why is that not being reported.
They didn’t report it if they were
Democrat DAs and judges are fueling crime
Why all women are talking like they just got a mosquito bite? And I see no bruises
New social trend!! Yay cool!!
An eye for an eye. The police cannot do their job until enough noise is made,thier hands are tied by your mayor governor and da,since the ines sworn to defend cannot,defend yourself by any means. If you seebanother person man or woman attacked help them dont stand and watch cowards!! If you see someone stealing stip then hiwever you can. This is what a human does.
Love NYC since they vote Dem and then complain about what goes on.
hate crimes for whites, misdemeanors for blacks
Extensive criminal record…still allowed out. You vote for it, you got it.
Who is to say these women were really punched and this is just another racist set up?
Meanwhile NYers charge Trump with Hundred million dollar fines for a general business practice and calling an old crazy cat woman a mentally ill old crazy cat woman
Shouldn’t these be HATE CRIMES?!
We know how you like it. You know you love it. Its your fetish
She loves it. You like it
Men are de-stabilizing.
Are they the most manly at assaulting women?
Amerika the great, and trump promises to make it greater.
For whom?
Liberal women: The Justice system is harsh. We should, like, totally, make it easier for criminals to get back out on the streets.
Angry hateful bitter losers that are so broke and hungry and possibly addicts
Why are black men punching women.
Why do men do this? What is the purpose?
Democrat dreamland
The women were white.
The criminals were black.
These were hate crimes.
HUSBAND POSTING THIS COMMENT: I BET THEY BLANKERS BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT BLANKERS DO HURT INNOCENT PEOPLE
Black dude picking white woman… can you imagine a white dude punching a black woman? Why the community is so silent ? Where’s the protest to seek justice ?
I see a pattern: no black women were punched. Hmmm…
If you attack someone unprovoked and only go after a specific group of people(e.g women), then you should be charged with a hate crime.
Absolute cowards!
They are all hate crimes. Victims and perps are all the same. Easy too see its a hate crime!
One has been released? I feel better now. Idiots
Disgusting! Why is this a misdemeanor. Why! Crime is down because crime is legal
Nothing random. It’s a racial hate crime. If you are a white womanly there’s a target on your face. The sickos doing this are black.
Bet that women voted for biden…
Still, it wasn’t women who brought them to America.
I think it goes without saying if a white man punched a black woman it would be deemed a racist hate crime…
Is it ‘racist’ to call this THUG a THUG. I would add a cowardly thug. But thanks to woke ideology ‘thug’ is apparently a racist term.
Actually it derives from the 19th century Indian ‘thuggee cult’ and has long been used in British English to describe any aggressive individual. It has never been a race thing until the woke left made it so.
He’s lucky he got picked up by them kindly police and given free room and board, and not shot on site.
I guess they feel like real men now. SMH.
cannot be considered racial or gender-based attacks!? why? for being a black man?
Suspects are probably Andrew Tate cult followers. Youtube allows these redpill Andrew Tate nuts to openly use the platform to spread misogynistic hate & to radicalize men.
What is the motive?
Crime isn’t down in NY. What about the police officer that was just killed? You vote Democrat this is what you get. Their policies of protecting criminals, letting them off with no accountability, you get these kind of results. Next time instead of wielding a fist, they may wield a knife. You need to have some self preservation. Stand up to the people that are making these laws, they work for you. Don’t let them get away with it. Because, they’re putting yours and your loved ones lives at risk.
Strong Independent Women don’t need Men to protect them. They can handle themselves fine.
Update: This guy was released less than 24 hours after being obtained. Congratulations Democrats, Bail reform for criminals suits you well.
N then they go jump in bed whith them
Usual suspects
I guess the Knockout game was getting old with them!
Hate crime
I know the color before watch the video
Misdemeanor? Am I missing something? Misdemeanor is if you intentionally place your hands on someone in an offending manner or lightly strike them but there is no injury at all, crimes like harassment or simple battery.
NYRS! You are living in the worst crime waive ever all because of democratic policies of you state and city. You’ve got to vote them out and vote for law and order! Vote republican! Your life literally depends on it! Also, those that can are moving to Florida which leaves many poorer people living in the crime. You’ve got to take responsibility and vote out the criminals in power! Vote for law and order 🗳️ republican. If you have to vote Trump. You don’t have to like him, vote for his actions. Turn of NBC, ABC, CNN. They are the ones who spewed propaganda last time and didn’t let Trump do his job.
Blm activists get what they wanted.
Jamaican Refugee. Not American.
He is not an African American man. Or Should I say a Black American man. He is a Jamaican Refugee. So please get your Facts Right first. and Yes he should be charged with a hate crime. a Jamaican Refugee Assaulting American Caucasian Women indeed.
Democrats assure you , he’s just getting his Reparations from deez whytees …..
Vote woke 👍
There is an action to a reaction . Where is the other side of the story .did these women verbally assaulted the guy
a man. Can you describe him?
Natural consequence of radical feminism😢
This was unprovoked and random.
THIS MAN IS NOT A FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICAN!!He’s a French immigrant! 🎯🎯💯😤🤬🤬
Awww man its marcus garvey grandson. So sorry for these women I hope the victims get some ptsd assistance and some inner city defense classes it takes a strong person to walk around nyc!
I hope this alleged crime isnt him but he has been displaying irrational behavior for awhile.
I hope he gets the help that he needs and finds peace of mind.🙏🖤
If only we could find some common quality/characteristic among these aggressors,…some common characteristic. I see that they’re all male, but I feel like there’s another characteristic/physical attribute that is more closely correlated to a certain criminal culture and mindset of criminality that I’m missing.
Crime is down? What are you smoking?
These Black Men are trying to punch the Democrat…out of these Women.
How many of these Women will continue to Vote Democrat…ALL of them.
Why are all these women complaining? Vote Democrat this is what you get.
Does anybody else remember their five year old brother going “punch you in the face”? No? Just me?
Hey, I know, in November vote for Biden and all the rhinos and Marxists congressman. They’ll make this stop….imbeciles
Where’s the footage of them being punched? 🤔
Well trump is a crim.
Worse, in my mind.
Get what you vote for…drink the blue kool aid
Sounds like a Jussie Smollett.🤔🤔
How did I know he was black?
Nobody to blame but the worthless dim o craps
Looks and sounds like a hate crime to me
They’re all women that’s a hate crime
You get what you vote for when you vote blue. Democrat run cities are sh!tholes.
Close the boarder
Trump’s NOT President…. that’s all I care about.
Life is good.
Sadly this insanity will continue as long as Woke fanatics who hate the people they represent get elected as DAs.
Is this a joke about misdemeanor charges, and some of them were released.
Another educated woke snickers
And how did they vote…..?
Democrats are really good at 3ed worlding America huh?
Didn’t this game start with kids back in like 2013/14? smh
The man that was arrested for punching women in the face, was released without bond, and he promised to come back for trial
They let him go!!! this is what demoncraps do they destroy what ever they get put in charge of. They have been running the cities since the 60’s and just look at the cities. Look at your lives. the demoncrap party is evil, and hates America and American liberty.
Female, young and white is the women they’re punching. I wonder why?
Men or Tyrone 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😥😥😥😥
The mental zombies are running the streets
People fail to realize the black guy doing this wears trump merch incl. a flag in his room, spewing nonsense… why’re you mad at him for? He’s for you guys! He was just recently released! SMH, people start carrying!
How are so many people getting punched in so few of them have video to go along with it. I’m guessing about 20% are legit in the other four out of five are people just wanting clicks to make money from it.
Theyre racist
Bro’s out here playing punch out.😂
I knew it was multiple men. It became a “trend” after the women started reporting it 🙁
These men are such whimps.
This commentator is delusional if actually believes that crime is down nyc.
