black man Arrested for Murdering Asian Woman in New York City Subway; yahoo "news" Changes the Crime to "Yanking," and Forbids Reader Comments (but WEJB/NSU Doesn't!)
NYC Man Wanted for Yanking Woman Down Subway Stairs Who Later Died Arrested in Central Park

A man wanted for yanking a woman down a set of subway stairs in Chinatown and killing her while trying to snatch her son’s backpack has been arrested, police said Saturday.
David Robinson, 53, was taken into custody after a tipster spotted him in Central Park about 1:20 p.m. Friday and called police. He has been charged with murder and manslaughter, police said.
Robinson encountered Than Htwe, 58, about 10:45 a.m. July 17 as she and her son walked up the staircase at the subway station on Canal St. and Broadway on the N/Q/R/W lines.
Robinson came up behind them and pulled on the son’s backpack, the police said. The son instinctively reached for his mom, who toppled down with him. She fell into a coma and died 11 days later at Bellevue Hospital.
Robinson has one unsealed arrest in New York on his record, from a 2003 assault case, police sources previously said.
While cops said Robinson has lived in Harlem, they released a Brooklyn address for him on Saturday.
"Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions.

Apparently, someone has sealed virtually all of his arrest history. I wonder if this is his first murder. Oh, and yahoo "news" says that readers will be able to "connect" better, if it is impossible for them to in any way communicate.
I too thought "one unsealed arrest" sound peculiar. I bet this bad guy has a long rap sheet hidden for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThe media has dropped the "negro on Asian" crime fad like a hot piece of stolen property--discarded into a lake.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if it will be resuscitated--but you can try.

Don't tell me, maybe another 'botched robbery™' perpetrated by a beloved Platinum American™?
ReplyDeletePerhaps if Blumpf is elected in 2024 he can get a Second Step Act passed so more unfairly incarcerated Platinum Americans™ can take advantage of our great economy -- just in case, the Second Step Act could include money to teach them how to rob people without 'botching™' it.
Cops nab murder suspect sought in botched subway station robbery
These 'journalists' just can't help themselves -- when an opportunity to use 'botched' presents itself, they jump on it.
The apparently hothead Robinson allegedly targeted Htwe and her son as they left the Canal Street subway station because he believed the younger man had thrown trash at him, prosecutor Lindley Round told Judge Paul Goetz.
(Uhh, I think it should be either apparently hotheaded, or the apparent hothead Robinson -- but apparently hothead Robinson is not correct.)
And anger management could be added to the curriculum.
Or maybe how to lie better.
(Take a look at Robinson; he looks like a BIG man -- I have no idea what the dead woman's 22 y/o son looks like, but does it really make sense that some skinny Asian kid would throw trash at someone who looks like Robinson?)
David Robinson, 53, was charged with manslaughter and held on $100,000 bail Saturday in the July 21 death of Than Htwe, 58.
So even with 3 bylines, the NYP story is a fucking mess -- normally if a victim dies during or as a result of the commission of another felony, like robbery, a perpetrator will also be charged with some degree of murder -- but here he's only being charged with manslaughter, which perhaps means it was more a case of 'pedestrian rage™', or a 'perceived slight™' crime, i.e. not a robbery.
Who the hell knows.
And there is some resemblance to the basketball player David Robinson.
