As a former law enforcement officer, I cannot see how they charged this guy with a simple misdemeanor assault. That is preposterous. I don’t care how drunk or belligerent the other person was. In fact, that might be more of a reason not to strike him, and just call 911. I would bet the house that phone calls were made to some very important people. He got away with manslaughter.

This was so beyond an assault. The guy was in a coma on life support. He was underwent multiple tests & was brain dead. He was removed from life support & passed about 2:50pm yesterday.
Damn, that’s some brutal $hit, but thanks to Mayor deblassio NYC is much safer.
The poor man passed away. Very sad
Are they still dropping off the Riker’s Island releasees at QBP?
What does that have to do with anything? The suspect was driving a white sport utility vehicle.
He could have been picking up a Rikers Drop off.. Duh.. That’s what it has to do. Know your surroundings.
Let it be a Hipster please…
Next time let it be Charles a Castro(ated)…
You sit by and wait for that Krusty
Usually I wouldn’t engage but I really feel it’s important to acknowledge and appreciate that the Astoria Post allows simple folk like yourself to engage the rest of the public and it gives you the platform to unload your freezing cold takes and opinions on things. Keep em coming Chuckster
Krusty, typical liberal, looking to censor everyone who disagrees with you.. Boo hoo.
I would never try and censor your opinions. They are quite entertaining and help me feel better about my iq. Also, I know the president has trained you to react and label everyone who doesn’t agree with you as a liberal, but you need to realize Trump isn’t going to see this which won’t help your ultimate goal of getting to spend the night with him.
Unfortunately only then will people wake up and do something about the crime and assaults in the area.
Deblasio and his BS policies are slowly taking us back to the bad days of NYC. All the hard work of Giuliani and Bloomberg down the drain.
Well said
Spot On
In your imagination. Crime is down.
Yes, crime over the past 20/30 years is overall down but it started climbing back up over the last 2 years because of Deblasio’s bad policies and restrictions put on police. This mayor is ruining all the hard work of Giuliani and Bloomberg.
I like your made up facts. They back up your generalizations nicely
Not a robot, just an idiot.. His facts are not made up. It’s called fudging numbers, the NYPD gets caught doing it all the time. It’s even in my book.
Keep drinking the Deblasio “crime is down” kool-aid. Crime has obviously increased over the past 2 years.
Deblasio is the new Dinkins. The people that voted for him are either brainwashed by his BS liberal agenda or NON-taxpayers.
