Toxic empathy kills.
Who could have seen this coming?
The 23-year-old woman anonymously detailed how she and a friend narrowly escaped Rhamell Burke, 32, after he allegedly attacked them while riding the subway on April 2.
The straphanger told the New York Post she now completely regrets her decision not to work with prosecutors after Burke was charged with murder on Friday for allegedly shoving 76-year-old Ross Falzone down a flight of stairs to his death at a subway station Thursday night.
A 32-year-old black man with a long criminal record accosted these girls on the subway. It's the same story every day of every week of every year.
'We started running a little bit, but then thank God the cops were right there because, I mean, we kept thinking about, imagine that there were no cops, we would have had to literally run for our lives,' she told the outlet.
'They immediately arrested him. It was shut down really fast by the cops and we respected that.'
She claimed the situation left her in shock, but she did not pursue any further action against her alleged attacker.
Why didn't she report the serial felon who tried to hurt her and her friends??
Why, he's black of course!
'Maybe a part of me was just like, I don't want to put another black man in jail, but, you know, at some point, if you are a criminal, you're a criminal, and he was scary, he was a scary guy,' the unidentified woman told the outlet.
Her survival instincts told her to discriminate against the violent crazy man, but her public school programming told her that she would be using her privilege to disenfranchise another poor black man. Good communists must care about #Equity!
Because she refused to press charges, a 76 year old man is dead.
[Warning: Disturbing]
Roughly five weeks later, police say Burke pushed Falzone down a staircase leading into the 18th Street subway station at 9.30pm while still wearing a hospital psychiatric bracelet.
An investigation was launched into how the suspect was evaluated and discharged from Bellevue Hospital barely an hour after police brought him there on Thursday afternoon.
Falzone suffered catastrophic injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, fractured spine, and broken rib.
He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital - the same hospital Burke had been released from hours earlier - where he died shortly before 3am Friday.
How are we able to live like this?
What do you want to bet the young lady who didn't press charges voted for Mamdani?
