Fake News Alert: At nbc new York, fake news reader David Ushery Tells Us, “Two Men Got into an Argument” at Manhattan’s Union Square Station

By Nicholas Stix

That was around 6 p.m. yesterday.

As a rule, I leave the nbc news beat to GRA. It’s bad enough that any man should go through that muck on a regular or even semi-regular basis (GRA deals with Lester Holt and the nnn at 6:30 p.m.). However, someone else had turned the channel to Channel 4, nbc’s New York affiliate.

There was no “argument.” As I have learned personally, the cops and the media do this all the time. What happens is that a black guy targets someone much smaller than him for death, and then tries to push into an oncoming train or, as in this case, seeks to stab him to death. Afterwards, he can always say the vic called him “nigger!” (I’ve experienced that first-hand, too, in 1993, at West 4th Street Station in Greenwich Village, on the A train.)

What was the argument about? The Yankees and the Mets? We never hear about that, because there was no argument.

Only one time did I ever hear about an incident like the one David Ushery fakereported, and that was in 1986 or 1987.

According to the new york times, on an Upper West Side subway platform on the 7th Avenue line (either 72nd or 96th Street), a little White guy pulled a knife on a much bigger White guy. The bigger guy was crazy with courage, and skills, too, and managed to disarm his attacker, whom he then sought went after with the attacker’s own weapon.

At this point, a White third party entered, on the side of the perp, and held the vic until the police could arrest him.

I know that all three men were White, because the times did a follow-up “thing” on it, in which a staffer interviewed the secondary perp (who had aided and abetted the primary perp). The times was at great pains to emphasize that all three men were White. The interviewer treated the criminal as if we were a hero, and indeed, he asserted that he and his friends did that sort of thing all time, and referred to them and himself as “heroes.”

Real heroes don’t talk about themselves that way. This guy was no hero, if anything, he’s evil. This story came to exemplify the dark side of New York City, one which I have experienced repeatedly: Evildoers get treated like heroes, and real victims and heroes get treated like criminals.

In recent years, I have unsuccessfully tried several times, through google and the new york times’ internal index to find either of the “things” about the subway knife attack.
