I used to frequently use that station at that hour. We moved away b"h but this is so unnerving.

I'm sitting here at work, just a couple of blocks away with emergency vehicles coming and going. Many of my colleagues use that station every morning. Very frightening!

I wouldn’t laugh cause that’s mean, but statistically you are much much much much more likely to be hurt in a car accident than shot by a crazy person in the subway.

What? Are you really asking that question??? Suspect is on the loose, every detail matters. And given in this crazy pc world we are living in now, leaving out skin color smells "woke" to me, or fear of being racist.

Because it narrows the search. Because it's a major description of a suspect.

I used to freely use the subway for many years. Never afraid. I don't think I'd use it anymore now. The place has gone much more mad in the last 2 years.

I don't think this story is proof of anything.
People get stabbed in the street more often than subway attacks.

Every news outlet I've seen has reported on the race of the perp. Please don't politicize this . Those of us in the area are very upset right now.

Yael has moved this thread to "In the News". It was started in "New York Related Inquiries" which was clearly the wrong forum.

"In the News" is a public forum (not members only) and also [does not] allows anonymous posts.

NYC is not safe anymore. Really sad. Where is law and order? Where are the leaders???

I split the political posts and moved them to politics so you can continue the tangent if you’d like. https://www.imamother.com/foru.....66831

Yes me too . Since covid I don't think I went on the subway. I used to shop in Manhattan but it doesn't tempt me anymore
