That waste of time was a slap. Not a punch if Curtis West has punched him the man would of looked like Mike Tyson. False storey made up to alleged accuse the person of color slapping an idiot who probebly deserved it. We can see the idiot talking trash that got him slapped and deserveing it.
My recommendation is that you take several ESL courses, which will help you out considerably. They offer them as podcasts.
Is that guy even here legally? Looks illegal to me.
How do they know it’s random? Maybe the guy knew the victim.
“…an unknown man approached him and punched him in the face.” I think the victim would of at least given a first name if he knew the attacker.
This guy needs to be beaten to a pulp.
Why did it take over a month for the MTA or the cops to release this footage to the public and media. I take this bus daily.
