“Random”
By Nicholas Stix
As a child, I once visited Rego Park, circa 1967. It was winter, and our paternal grandparents took my big sister and me there to visit our cousins, and aunt and uncle.
There was plenty of snow on the ground on their steeply elevated street, and we sledded together with the two older sisters. The youngest was just a baby. (She still is, over 40 years later.)
The stabbing couldn’t have happened back then, because there no black thugs on the street. There were no blacks, period.
The victim in this video does not appear to be white, but he also doesn’t appear to be black. Since the police and the Post aren’t giving us any information, they can easily call the attack “completely random.” The more information you have, the less often you will call violent attacks “random.”

A thug followed a stranger into a Queens deli and repeatedly stabbed him in the buttocks, cops said today.
The assault, seen on shocking surveillance footage, occurred inside the store on 63rd Road in Rego Park around 5:45 p.m. Sunday.
The video shows the thug – wearing a white T-shirt, grey sweat pants and a black cap – enter the store before quickly pouncing on his unsuspecting victim and violently stabbing him in the buttocks several times before bolting from the store.
Police said there doesn’t seem to be any motive and that the attack was completely random.
The victim was treated for his injuries and is in stable condition, cops said.
