What in the world is going on? Now I've gotta watch my back just getting out of the goddamn L train?
14th Street, of course. Where is our promised mobile command unit for this troubled area?
The man who was arrested was released without bail ("supervised release"). Only in New York, among all 50 states, is a judge prohibited from considering dangerousness in deciding what to do with a suspect. Here we have a guy carrying three knives who attacks a stranger. Sounds dangerous to me and now I'll be sharing my subway stop with him again.
