@CrimeInNYC I’ve ridden the subway for 30 years. Ive had my nose broken by a panhandler. I’ve never seen this happen. And had I seen this happening, I would have intervened. This guy straight up killed someone in public.

This is a sick dude. Slavery was traditionally a punishment for 1) debt, 2) crime or 3) being in the losing side of a war. The practice of enslaving a race of people who had never offended and breeding them as though they were livestock is unique to the Atlantic slave trade.

Slavery is world history. White people did not invent it, and were not the first to practice it, but were the first to abolish it. The last place in the world to still have legal slavery was Africa. It wasn't fully legally abolished on the continent until 1981.

One of the things fueling the high level of migrants into the United States is the offer of free housing. Not just the collapse of Ecuador and Venezuela or low unemployment. When you make that choice you are choosing to close libraries early and delay needed NYCHA renovation.
