Police are looking for three teens who approached a man in a New York City subway station, tried to take his jacket, and beat him with nunchucks when he resisted.
Police say the 25-year-old victim was in Manhattan's West 157th Street station on the no. 1 line early Sunday morning when the suspects told him they liked his jacket and wanted it.
They then began to beat and kick him, police said.
When he wouldn't give up his jacket, one of the suspects began beating him with nunchucks, which are illegal in New York, police said.
The victim was able to flee through the turnstile. He was later treated for cuts on his head.
Police are looking for three teens, ages 17 to 19, each weighing 150 pounds and about 5 feet 8 inches tall. One was wearing a gray jacket and yellow and burgundy baseball hat, one was wearing a gray jacket and green baseball hat and the third was wearing a black t-shirt and gray and black checkered scarf.

I'm happy they didn't have guns.
Nunchucks need to be registered because making them illegal did not work.
Please catch these numnuts and give them 15 years each at Rikers........
those darn criminals just refuse to abide by the law..... We better have a Congressional hearing on more laws to control them assault nunchucks, so this does not ever happen again, I know we have just as many mass attacks with nunchucks as we do those so called assault weapons here in the USA so we better all jump on the band wagon!!!!!
If they had guns , he could have been killed!
dale-763548 ..(#1.4).."If they had guns , he could have been killed!"
And if he had a gun for self-defence, cops wouldn't be searching for the muggers, they'de be at the City Morgue....
Where's Bernhard Goetz when you need him....Remember him...The subway rider that shot 4 muggers in 1984. The Jury found him "Not Guilty" on all charges for shooting the 4 thugs....EXCEPT....For having an Illegal Handgun in NYC.....But they said it was OK that he used it....How Odd ?!?!?!
Dale; If he had a gun he could have defended himself!!! IF, IF, IF, If he had not been on that train it would not have happened, if the kids were good kids they would not have done this, lots of ifs could be used, the fact is some dirtbags did a crime using a weapon and the victim was unarmed!!!!
Mike; that is why I carry my pistol at all times, I would rather be tried by a jury of my pears than carried to my grave by my friends and family!
Most times the court will just fine you for using your weapon if it is used with a good reason and for self defense even if you are illegally carrying it!!!
I have a CCW but unfortunately most places you really need a gun are those GUN FREE zones like malls....
Luckily, where I live I am allowed to carry my firearm on school grounds with my CCW as long as I do not get out of my car and walk around so when I pick up my kid from school I just stay in the car, same with dropping him off!!! If something happens while I am there at least on armed trained person is there.
garrie..(#1.7)....My sentiments too....I may leave home without my American Express Card, but never without my CCW Permit and gun....When my son, college student by day, Pizza Delivery guy by night, took the delivery job, I financed his CCW Permit and Gun Purchase. Even though it's against Company policy, for him to carry, I'de rather he be looking for a new job if he ever had to use it, than me looking for a casket for him....
Why can't this ever happen to me.
I have a lot of steam built up inside of me after reading a lot of crap like this lately and need a real good "legal" excuse to beat the piss out of these kind of a-holes.
All of a sudden, Everybody was Kung Foo Fighting.
This is a job for Charles Bronson.......
lol dam there are some old school references in here.
But its a shame the poor guy who got the crap beaten out of him didn't carry a concealed weapon. Remember an unarmed citizen is a victim.
And nunchucks are illegal because they are considered nonlethal?
We better start running background checks on people who want to own illegal nunchucks. Make them register those outlawed weapons.
This was in NYC. He wasn't allowed to have a gun even if permitted in the State of NY. If he had a gun, and defended himself, he would have been arrested for having the gun. Anyone notice how the school shooting pretty much disappeared from the news? Seems the Liberal News Organizations don't like it when THE NRA WAS RIGHT. An Armed School Resource Officer that was posted at the school stopped the shooting, and took the suspect into custody.

If they used a gun they would have damaged the jacket they want. Come on people think. ;-)
@Creek Dog
haha, ok tuff guy. you sound like my buddies after 10 beers sitting around the table talking about high school days and how they can take on 3 guys at once. you'd probably freeze and watch just like every other pedestrian does
Hey New York , How's that gun ban working for you. Once again a criminal has proven that gun laws do not work to prevent violence. Legal and lawful gun owners have repeatedly told you that ban and restrict policies aren't going to work but you don't listen. Maybe you'll start paying attention now.
C'mon guys, put the pieces together here...New York City, in the subway, teenagers with nunchucks...It's pretty simple to figure out that this was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The dude that got a beatdown may be one of Master Shredder's henchmen, or maybe he just wouldn't hand over the pizza!
They need to put up "Nunchuck free zone" signs, that will take care of it.
Mike in Delray
And if they all had guns, he and one of the assailants might be at the mortuary. More guns on the street isn't the answer.
And for "bernard" at least he had to go through the court system than to simply let him go like they did originally in the zimmerman case.
Reminds one of the days when the cops had rubber hoses ? When caught, the punks would get interviewed at the precinct. Whether they went home from there or to a judge, almost nobody would ask about their fat lips and black eyes. If questions were asked, they would have slipped on a wet tile. They think nunchucking a guy three to one is fun ? The "hose" would show 'em what fun could really turn out to be. Lot of young guys decided they might want to try another way to enjoy themselves.
Except for certain neighborhoods at certain hours, women could go about their business without fear in most of the city. Don't believe they had a 600 to 1,000 street murders by handguns a year like we do now in Chicago even though the populations inside the city are the same. Then we started to cry for the little punks because the "hose" was used a little too much. And look at us now. The punks are in charge. People getting pushed on the tracks, beatings and it's all on camera for your daily voyeur enjoyment. And unless you can get 4 people to go with you, you must stay inside and bolt the door.
WE NEED TO BAN NUNCHUCKS!!
And then when there is a story where a fork was used to rob a person: WE SHOULD BAN FORKS!!
And then when there is a story where a pencil was used to rob a person: WE SHOULD BAN PENCILS!!
And then when there is a story where an oven mitt was used to rob a person: WE SHOULD BAN OVEN MITTS!!
I can do this all day if you are interested?
If not us:
That is not true in Florida. If you are caught with a gun on a college campus (even with a CCW) you get arrested.
I have to be VERY carry when I go to campus (I teach part-time college Economics) that I make sure my gun is locked in my gun safe in the truck BEFORE I drive into campus. If it is not "secured" (even in my vehicle) I could technically be in trouble. If it LEAVES my truck while on campus I can be arrested.
At least that is what I have been told by law enforcement because I asked that question specifically from our police department. But of course I guess it becomes "interpretation" and maybe another cop would react differently - but I don't want to take that chance.
You have a right your thoughts. No problem. You say "probably". This is a big word my friend that goes a long way.
They're teenagers. What training do they have? @!$%#, you have no idea brotha.
You get in the face and take out one, the other two freeze. You would only know what I mean and how I feel if you walked in my shoes from 18 to 30 yrs old.
Have a nice weekend...
Criminals get around the nunchuck deadly weapon law by having a clip connection in the chain. You can unconnect them and when 2 pieces you cannot be busted. I know because this was the weapon of choice in high school of the gang bangers. They would hold the two sticks seperate and connect in 2 seconds before they beat someones @ss.........
Oh Creekdog, nice thoughts but when the Sherrif charges you with battery the 5 years min prison time does not seem worth it. If you use a gun you got a GZ nightmare on your hands. I just let it go until I have to reach for the Glock......
Well I suppose I am a "victim" then. Boo hoo! Because I will never own a firearm. The only reason I could even foresee needing one is to fend off the nutbag RW'ers in my neighborhood if they ever start shooting.
I have worked in Compton, South Chicago, South Dallas, Philly, Boston and NYC. Never needed a gun. And because of my background I learned never to show fear. It has far more to do with the way you carry yourself and the way you treat others as to whether you will be involved in confrontations.
I don't see where a gun would make me or my family safer. The statistics clearly show it will not.
I have read thousands of post since Newtown. Have seen very few on the Right side of the aisle that contain any logic or reason, attributes they apparently abandoned long ago.
Their view seems to be, just get a gun and try not to let your knuckles drag scrape too hard on the ground. I put their intelligence level right there with the lowliest of these urban thugs.
Were these semi-automatic numchucks?!
what gets me is how some people think a victim would be able to talk themselves out of trouble.When a criminal has commited to doing a crime they have gone beyond the point of talking.
I have two outs...
1. I'd be on film defending myself.
2. If not on film, I take off and the witnesses would be like, I have no idea what he looks like. All I know is that he did the right thing.
I hope anyway. LOL
Creek Dog
Why can't this ever happen to me.
hahahaha..................You don't seem to be living in the inner city.......probably will never happen to you if don't live in the inner city. But it actually happened to a friend of mine. Needless to say, those three kids that picked on the wrong guy ended up with some broken bones and one had a broken nose. Guess they couldn't tell my friend had martial arts training as he was only 185 lbs soaking wet.
Please cite your source for these statistics.
Creekdog, I think Jayos would be REALLY, REALLY tired if he walked in your shoes for 12 years. You the man!
Try, Muggers with nunchucks beat man in Subway or Man in subway beaten by muggers with nunchucks.
Geeze. Has anyone at MSNBC.com taken an English class?
The way the headline is written the guy with the nunchucks in the mugging victim.
Progressives: Time to ban nunchucks.
Liberals = conservatives who haven't been mugged yet.
I am with you on the idea Creekdog but the whole court drama BS today just does not seem worth it. CSI is bad to the bone today......
Exactly! How many times have you heard of victims getting killed even though they were complying with the A-hole's demands?
I beat the hell out of my elbows every time I swing my chucks. That's why they are collecting dust!
"Why can't this ever happen to me."
For the same reason it took 3 to beat down 1: they R cowards.
G' afternoon C Dog, Tony, IXLR, Bill.
LMFAO, That's what training chucks are for, although you do learn much faster with the real deal.
I have talked my way out of a real bad situation at gunpoint about 22/23 years ago, a lot of luck, keeping my wits about me, and a stray car passing through the parking lot that night saved me. I'll never be in that weak a position again, I know how lucky I got, they have no idea how lucky they were that I was not carrying. Never again.
Trainers are for sissies. I prefer my octagonal rosewood chucks because the corners are much more effective for inflicting greater and lasting pain and suffering to the humorous bone which, oddly enough, I don't find humorous in the least!
I rarely hit my humorous bone, but I've had a few knots on the back of my head though. You learn quicker that way. :P
When are we going to ban automatic nunchucks? The ones that are painted black scare the hell out of me!
You scare the hell outta me too........
Everybody was kung-fu fighting...those nunchucks was fast as lighting.
Guessing...1974-1975?
Sigh. If that isn't a perfect illustration of just how little a criminally-inclined thug [or thugs] considers the laws already in place, I don't know what is.
Of course now they must, absolutely must, ban all trees; these weapons are made of wood! Oh, and don't forget graphite... oh, snap... how about sticks in general, just to be safe? These things are just weapons waiting to harm or kill someone, after all...couldn't be that personal responsibility could have anything to do with it, now could it?

Where is Bruce Lee when the good guys need him? LOL All we have now is Jackie Chan, and he is getting old. LOL
Were their mouths moving contrary to the words they were saying?
78
Bruce Lee would be using a walker to do some of his stunts if Jackie Chan is "getting old".
...and Jackie Chan hates the US.
This is a job for, The Chosen One.
"From now on you will all refer to me by the name... Betty"
"Where is Bruce Lee when the good guys need him?"
Resting in his grave, but you can get Bruce Leroy or Sho'nuff. Now who's da mastah? "Sho'nuff"
you people really have trouble with cause and effect. If nunchucks were illegal in the ENTIRE country then they would be less likely to be involved in a crime. BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO LAY HANDS ON. Making them illegal in NYC is great but it doesn't solve the problem of the other 49 states where they aren't regulated at all.
I hope that was sarcasm. If not, the naïveté of that statement is just breath-taking.
Look, one can use Google-fu and come up with several ways to make nunchucks, using wooden dowels, paper, etc. "Difficult to lay hands on"? Oh, please. These thugs could have beaten this poor man with any number of things that the average, sane individual wouldn't dream of using as a weapon. I won't list any of them here, there are too many weirdos out there who might catch a spark in their dull lizard-brains and try them.
The problem isn't weaponry, or potential weaponry. The problem is the feral so-and-sos who think they can beat, rob and even kill someone just because they want something. Could be an actual item, could just be they want their 15 minutes of fame and choose to use their hatred of other humans as a way to get it. Rhetorial question: Why do some people have such an aversion to blaming individuals for acts of violence?
Since when is NYC a state? You want to ban two sticks and a rope? Are broomsticks next?
Tough gun laws are working. Now we only need worry about getting beaten to death by martial arts weapons. This news story along with all the others MSNBC publishes will help further their weapons ban crusade.
Tshanny,,,Nunchucks are illegal too. So much for laws being obeyed.
If we ban nunchucks, only criminals will have nunchucks.
This is what happens when you disarm law-abiding citizens. If guns had been an option, the victim would have shot his assailants dead and this would have made a fine NRA "Armed Citizen" anecdote.
If the criminals knew that random people on the subway might be armed, they'd likely not have even attempted this kind of thing in the first place.
When you know you have nothing but easy targets, crime becomes a much more appealing option.
This proves that criminals do not care about the laws or the people they harm, they are the problem not the guns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To bad the guy did not have a gun, these dirtbags would have been to scared to attack him then!!! they only attack unarmed innocent people because criminals are afraid of armed citizens just like politicians are!!!!
I disagree. Criminals would have still attempted this, but only after arming themselves first. With the advantage of surprise, criminals can get the jump on unsuspecting victims. If the victims themselves are armed, that's more incentive for the criminals to shoot them dead immediately.
Optimist, but they would have to shoot everybody then perhaps. And darn, you are so scared of a piece of metal that you will always look on the dark side. So much for your handle here. You are only showing yourself to be a hypocrite or a liar using Optimist as your name.
But back to topic. Please show where that would be true. I can look at the states where guns can be easily carried and I don't see the same murders or crimes there as I do in places where guns are illegal, such as NYC. So I guess I'll label your statement about the criminals shooting them dead immediately as a lie. Oh, and would it be better to be shot immediately or to be tortured first and then shot? You are saying they would be shot eventually after all.
It definitely coulda bin worse, if they had guns, or worse, assault weapons, the victim, like anyone on this board in the same situation, will surely be glad for that, he survived! stupid gun owners. And btw, name one law in which criminals obey the law, using the logic of Wayne LaphuckingPierre, why have any laws since criminals don't follow the law, by definition, phucking idjut gun owners. And furthermore, NO ONE is talking about BANNING GUNS, it's about ASSAULT WEAPONS and 100-round magazines, etc. phucking gun owners.
In English would you explain your post?
I quote from the phuckhead, Wayne LaphuckingPierre:
"We all know that homicidal maniacs, criminals and the insane don't abide by the law,"
So he's saying that if there are gun control laws, only the law-abiding will follow and so will be at a disadvantage against criminals and those bent on being outside the law. That's why they're called criminals and outlaws, you phuckhead, Wayne and all gun owners who think like you! By that reasoning, why stop there, why have any laws then? Kapiche??? phucking idjut gun owners.
typical ignorant anti gun dribble!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!!! Now ASSPORE is up to 100 round magazines.... even though you can swap out a magazine in under a second... WTF difference how many rounds it can hold?? An Assault Weapon is a made up term dope. The military don't even use them stupid. They just LOOK like a military weapon.. wow, plastic over the barrel instead of wood.. A handle to carry it.... and a pistol grip... BIG F-DEAL!!! ALL Pistols have pistol grips you A$$... You hold it under rather than over the stock... THEY STILL FIRE ONE ROUND PER PULL OF THE TRIGGER just like pistols and revolvers... Now some guy in NY may wind up a vegtable instead of three pukes dead... Oh, you would LOVE that they show up at your house some day and beat YOU over the head.... YOU"RE the phucking dope because YOU don't see the actual problem.
I shoot with police on a regular basis... the average patrolman does NOT want to see a gun ban.. because it does not work.. and when you see a group of police chiefs saying they do support gun control, they are in a political position..
@acspore-2445269
To paraphrase you:
Hey Acspore,
How'd that school shooting in Atlanta get stopped yesterday? Notice how that story has disappeared from the news?
“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
acspore reported as inappropriate.
What a profoundly stupid comment. Andrew Cuomo and his moronic edicts have zero impact on these things. There is no less availability of weapons to criminals, there will NEVER be less availability to criminals, only law abiding citizens. NUNCHUKS are illegal in NY. A sock filled with sand is illegal in NY, these laws are completely ignored by criminals, get a brain.
Since public education failed you, please have someone edit your rants.
@ acspore: Now we know why tigers eat their young...your mother must be proud (eyes roll).
stonepipe2...nice. By 0900 EST this place will have 2000 comments and nothing will be solved. Bad people can't be legislated away.
Mornin' maddog. Have a great day, I'm sure some how, some way this will be the NRA and guns fault.
But you can make it harder, and over time, things WILL get better, but youse gun owners are so phuckedup with your bullsh!t mentality, it's thinking like yours who CONTRIBUTE to mass killings, that's right.
yep an instant attack by an ignorant anti gun lune!!!!!
acspore is probably not even an American!!!!! Just some poor little moron spreading hatred and bigotry as the lib lunes do oh so well!!!!!!
garrie you're an ignoramus, and learn to spell and how to use exclamation points appropriately, chump.
Oh no the spell check police are after me, I am so afraid of them because they are proving how smart they think they are,,,, OHHHHH NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO AFRAID!!!!!!!!!!!
We all know who the real chump is here and it is not me!!! So go look in the mirror, chump!!!!!!!!!!
Hey ASSPORE... please explain in detail how having a ban on a certain big black gun with fancy trim will make a difference in violence??? Please explain in detail how to keep someone who's hell bent on killing many people?? Please tell us the difference between a mini-14 and an AR-15.. Or how about a M-16 and an AR-15.... Or even better, please tell me how to stop someone who can swap out a magazine in less than a second while performing a tactical reload.... how about if they carry ten 10 round magazines, or even 2 pistols??? PLEASE ANSWER or STFU!!!!
@acspore-2445269
To paraphrase you:
Mind the Code of Honor, acspore-2445269.
Absolutely Stone. It has to be the NRA's fault that NYC doesn't allow guns.
Sad thing is, someone in the anti-gun group is going to think that makes sense.
Has anyone ever heard of a mass killing by clubs, bats, knives, matzo balls? NO. Mass killlings = Mass gun killings, the operative word is "guns". Guns don't kill people??? No, guns make it easier to kill a lot of people faster, and with more powerful weapons like assault weapons with 100-round magazines, what do you think the future holds for us in this violent society? Stop the insanity. stupid phucking gun phucking owners.
If you had half a brain you would know that more people are killed with bats, sticks, hammers and all of the other stuff you mentioned than the so called assault weapon that you are so afraid of!!!!!!!!!!
Libs like you are so disgusting you make all Americans look bad!!!!
The so called assault weapon like you and all you anti gun libs keep bringing up were used in such a small number of deaths that they do not even have a class in the numbers they are lumped in with all rifles which for your information killed less than 400 people last year and that includes suicides, self defense and other issues....
So called assault weapons make up less than .0001% of all gun related deaths, more anti gun dribble and lies!!!!
garrie, I repeat: you're an idjut of the first order. More people killed with bats, sticks, hammers, blah, blah, blah, AT ONE TIME, such as mass gun shootings by a single individual???????????????? You are an idjut of the first order, period. And don't make up your own "facts", ok????
I don't make them up I go look at the actual numbers that the FBI put out, something you anti gun libs are not smart enough to do!!!
Summary:
Summary of the 2009 crime statistics
Notice how there is no so called assault weapon on the list? they are lumped in with the rifle numbers, because they do not make up an amount that is worth counting on their own.
Not so scary when they do not even get counted now are they!
HEY ASSPORE... Please tell us why you want to go after legal gun owners and not criminals??? You haven't said ONE WORD about that you SFW!
This story is about kids that have chosen to disregard the rights of another person by using violence and I hope they get caught and I hope the punishment is enough that will keep them from repeating their actions. The underlying fact is that our society has become overrun with those that do not respect the law, and no amount of laws that we add to control guns will make a difference to them. We should be going after the criminals and making them accountable for their actions. Dealing with the people that "hear little voices in their heads" with intent to cause harm to an individual or a group is another matter entirely. I do not own a gun, but I believe addressing the root of the problems for violence would be the best step.
Good comment L-is-so-R, I keep saying the same thing, we need to go after the criminals who commit the crimes, the law abiding gun owners are not the problem they are abiding by the laws, it is the criminals and unfortunately the laws that put those with major mental issues out on the streets instead of having places that take care of them. The prison system is not the place for mentally ill, they need medical help, and not just for one day and sent home to be forgotten, for ever if needed. We used to take care of the mentally ill now we just throw them out on the streets.
The other problem is these new drugs they are giving kids, especially young boys. The education system is pushing the ADHD thing hard on boys because they act like boys and do not just sit quietly in their chairs, so they want them on drugs and those drugs are causing some major, MAJOR problems with these kids. There are studies out there that show that these drugs cause violent outbreaks and that they are nothing but legal METHAMPHETAMINES that they are giving kids!!!!
If the politicians really want to do something about gun violence they will go after the criminals, create an actual mental healthcare system and quit allowing these boys to be put on those drugs with out better research into the side effects, and quit doing it just because boys want to be boys, why is it now bad to be a boy in the USA? Parents and teachers alike need to quit trying to make boys into girls!!! Boys rough house, boys play soldier and other rough games they do not sit around quietly and play dolls.....
acspore.... It's self righteous fools like yourself that make people want to carry guns. Who is worse, The guy tha kills several victims one at a time or the guy that kills several at once? Why do you think mass murders are in the news? Because they are still fairly rare and sensational. When just as many are killed around the country every day with a wide variety of weapons, that is ok with you? Just as long as it isn't in one group? Sorry, dead is dead, I doubt that those who have to bury their friends or family members really feel better that the killer used a hammer and not a rifle. Or that some chump used a knife and didn't kill more people. Maybe when you grow up, you will understand that any kind of weapon can kill and the problem is not the weapon, but the person using it.
ADHD really isn't about sitting quietly in a chair. It's a real condition, just extremely over-diagnosed by doctors who get a Pharma kick-back or perks.
I'm for a ban on assault weapons, because I'm for throwing the anti-gun folks a bone in hopes they will give it a rest, and also I don't see the need for a private citizen to own an assault weapon.
However, until there is a state with a gun ban in which no one gets murdered, I think citizens must be allowed to protect themselves. This story proves the point. Violence is the problem, not gun ownership.
With one caveat: adults who let a child get access to a gun should go to prison for mandatory 20 years, no parole, during which time they work 10 hours a day for the state, unless it can be proven beyond doubt that the kid took the gun by force or forcibly broke into a securely locked gun cabinet. A child is anyone under the age of 21.
@acspore-2445269
To paraphrase you:
On the far majority, mass killings occur where the victums are peacefully gathering in mass in a place where they are not allowed to bring weapons and thus are easy targets. If wanted to go down killing as many others as possible you wouldn't pick a police station as your target.
@acspore,
On March 23, 2010, Zheng Minsheng 41, murdered eight children with a knife in an elementary school in Nanping, Fujian province.
Just a few hours after the execution of Zheng Minsheng in neighboring Fujian Province, in Leizhou, Guangdong another knife-wielding man named Chen Kangbing, 33 at Hongfu Primary School wounded 16 students and a teacher. Chen Kangbing had been a teacher at a different primary school in Leizhou; he was sentenced to death by a court in Zhanjiang in June.
On April 29 in Taixing, Jiangsu, 47-year-old Xu Yuyuan went to Zhongxin Kindergarten and stabbed 28 students, two teachers and one security guard; most of the Taixing students were 4 years old.
On April 30, Wang Yonglai used a hammer to cause head injury to preschool children in Weifang, Shandong, then used gasoline to commit suicide by self-immolation.
An attacker named Wu Huanming, 48, killed seven children and two adults and injured 11 other persons with a cleaver at a kindergarten in Hanzhong, Shaanxi on May 12, 2010.
On 4 August 2010, 26-year-old Fang Jiantang slashed more than 20 children and staff with a 60 cm knife, killing 3 children and 1 teacher, at a kindergarten in Zibo, Shandong province.
Eight children, all aged four or five, were hurt in Minhang District, Shanghai when an employee at a child-care centre for migrant workers slashed them with a box-cutter.
In September 2011, a young girl and three adults taking their children to nursery school were killed in Gongyi, Henan by 30-year-old Wang Hongbin with an axe.
On 14 December 2012, a 36 year-old villager in the village of Chenpeng, Henan Province, stabbed 23 children and an elderly woman at the village's primary school as children were arriving for classes.
Mass killing only happens when you have masses undefended. I have heard of mass killing with box cutters. I have heard of mass killing with fertilizer. I have heard of mass killing with knives.
acspore can you tell me the weapons used in the largest mass killings in the US. Hint none involved a rifle!
They are Airplanes 9/11 New york and Washington DC
Diesel and Fertilizer Oklahoma City, OK.
Dynamite Bath High School, Bath MI.
Crazies and the sicko's will always find a way to do harm to as many people as possible. What we should be talking about is the failure of the Mental health system to treat and work with law enforcement to help prevent things from happening. This will not happen because libs would have to admit that thier grand experiment on mental health has failed.
How about the fellow that knifed 30 kids in China. @acspore-2445269 - Black Belt ID10T of the highest order.
Dang... Got post happy there... Dawgfan beat me to it.
The criminal-minded keep sending a message "we don't care about the laws you make".
Where's Bloombergs finest ? What a joke he is.
i would love to have the opportunity to meet these knuckleheads
Not much of a surprise in that part of the city.
Were the transit police out looking for over sized soda containers rather than working the platforms to stop muggings?
Sad, but true
We must ban nunchucks!
See gun laws do work....
Now we just need laws to stop people from beating each other.
I am still, to this day, amazed by any thought process where someone risks going to jail for something like a jacket...I know it takes all kinds, but damn.
Okay enough is enough. Every nunchaku will now have to be registered. Also, while we are at it every hand that can be used as a karate chop will have to either be taken away or registered as well.
It's not about the jacket sleepinsadie. It's about enjoying the experience of creating fear in another and making them submit to your male (in this case) dominance. There was a knifing about six months ago by a group of teenage girls and I had a teenage girl throw a full bottle of water at me from across a street because I dared - while on the train prior to our getting off - just shake my head in amazement that she had been screaming into her cell phone at her boyfriend in the midst of a full train car of riders for about 30 minutes.
Not exactly an uncommon state of mind for a stupid teenage boy or group of boys to evidence.
I sincerely hope they have the opportunity sooner rather than later to experience some really dominate male figures - with names like Buba - in jail so they can see how it feels to be on the receiving end of wanton, vicious aggression and be helpless to resist. Couldn't happen to a nice bunch jerks.
I ride the subways all the time; I've had a few scary moments over the years. Frankly, there is little that the police or riders can do to avert an attack of this nature that no one can reasonably anticipate. It is unfortunate he didn't have a gun and that this didn't happen in Texas though, but alas, such was not the case.
I get that - but the risk far outweighs the reward (so to speak).
I ride the NY subways regularly and while I may not be carrying a gun, I usually have something with me that could cause a little damage if need be.
And please, just in case someone out there is tooling up a "but the poor boys weren't breastfed long enough and their mothers didn't love them..." excuses - save it. Life is tough and then we die. There is not one of us who hasn't gone through difficulties and tragedies - some that would make the average person quake in their shoes - but yet, somehow people go on - rise above - those situations.
There is no excuse for deliberately accosting and attacking and possibly permanently injuring someone who was minding their own business. No excuse and if you try to make up excuses all you do is encourage and "enable" this type of behavior.
The guy who was attacked could very well - for all we know - now have scars and or permanent disfigurement because of being beaten, while his attackers at present have gotten off completely scott free.
"Teens"...the new politically correct "code-" word!!!!!!!!
Code for what?
They are teens that are more than likely in a gang (my assumption), but that does not stop them from being teens.
These three teens would make three great corpses. And the sooner the better.
this is just an example of bad criminal i.q., when I was eightteen and saw someone wearing a jacket that I wanted I'd just follow them at a distance to their home to see where they lived and then round up my goon-squad and offer them all fifty dollars to wait until late in the night and then break the dudes door down and beat up all his kids and wives and stuff while demanding that he show us where the jacket was and after we made a clean get-away i'd keep that jacket on for months without ever taking it off because of the sense of accomplishment that comes with getting what you want. i hope that these kids find the man again and this time get the jacket, i'm sure that if he's taking the one-line train then he can afford another jacket no problem anyway.
beating by nunchucks is way more cooler.
no, any wimp can beat up a six year old with nunchucks but it takes a real man to take the kid down with nothing but his fists and good fighting-form. Also we couldn't afford nunchucks back then but only fairies use them anyway.
Freakin A**holes!!! Find them!!!!!!
