Hillary will grant this criminal citizenship and an EBT card.
How else he going to buy a fake birth certificate?
A liberal
I am the most native New Yorker I know. “Been there & seen that” long before it came into mode, and as a woman, I can tell you my vote is NOT going to Crooked Hillary. In the bad old days, I don’t remember anyone standing up, much less a female politician, for my friends who were victims of both mugging and rape. Bring back Giuliani. He got the job done right.
Trump is not going to win! You can not win a national election without the minority (non-white) vote. Republicans Don’t Even Like Him! And Single woman are against him! It is 2016 and by 2050 the US will be a majority-minority country. His voting demographic is shrinking nationally!!
Oh honey, wake up .. NY is a Blue state . She will win the state. Your vote ( like your opinion AND your outlook for the future of this country are about as relevant as well Donald Trump standing up for rape victims . Didnt his ex wife accuse him of rape ?
Well Alex. What say you now, sweetie?
She should have knocked his skinny ass in the tracks.
125lbs at 5’7″ this kid is a beanpole.
That’s a lot of cash to be carrying around.
Considering the time of the month, it was probably her rent money.
There is no G train at that station.

Something is wrong here. The only place – I think – where you’d be waiting for an R or G is 4th Avenue in Brooklyn.
The article says 36th STREET and the G doesn’t run there. Also, the photo doesn’t particularly look like the 36th Ave Astoria Station.
Yeah they don’t seem to ever proof their articles. It’s the R / M trains at this station. Horrible stop. You can hide in the corner at the entrance which comes out next to extra space storage. It’s super creepy
Why are so many people who are being written about possessing such large amounts of cash at the time of incidence?
BUILD THAT WALL DONALD !!!!!!!!!!!
I never feel comfortable in that station with the welfare office pretty much right upstairs.
Wonder if the guy knew she was carrying a big wad of cash?
Ever been in there? Its mostly people with kids and older people or their caretaker. Pretty depressing scene actually, but nothing to be afraid of. Regular people in a difficult situation, that’s all. They’re not felons and felons usually can’t get benefits. Welfare is long dead, btw.
This is my stop and I avoid it, preferring instead to walk further to the Steinway St. stop. It’s a long, desolate rape tunnel on the one end. On the other end, closer to the token booth, it’s a little better / safer but barely.

Yes Jen L., I’ve been in that station quite a lot. The station is generally mostly empty and the entrances with no token booths (sorry,showing my age – customer service booths?) are made to order for muggers. I’ve been regularly riding the subways for over 40 years and that is pretty much the only station that creeps me out so I generally take the N/Q even though they are a little further away for me unless I’m in a big rush or travelling at a peak hour.
I’m not saying that its a great station – it needs serious renovations and security. Steinway also. But it’s not because of people applying for food stamps, that’s all.

Have you ever stood in line for EBT benefits or medicaid? I have when i was trying to help a friend and generally speaking, it is not the type of area you would want to spend more time in than needed especially with children or elderly parents!
