I am just Curious? What the person attacked White? Maybe Irish,& targeted in what one was a great Irish neighborhood? In the same month of St. Patricks day?
It might not be looked at in this manor, but there are still many Irish,& white that never left the tolentine Neighborhood! Great old housing,& history Oblivious to the new immigrants,& Cultures that have not aclimatized to American Values, but under this Mayor run on false naratives against the Groups having made way for their presense! When does it become a dicipline to respect people,& not be a victim in a City where policing is done after the crime with no police presense on the streets,& NYC Train stations,& trains! This is hidden abuse,& an unsafe enviorement to the rule of law to chace yourself day to day freely living in what is a great City!
Thx, Kennedy McDonnell NYC Licensed Plumber!
