Athena Horne – PJ Media April 2, 2024
From the remove of my relatively safe suburban town, I’ve watched the demise of my once-beloved New York City with a combination of horror and bemusement. Its descent into third-world s**thole status was foreseeable, but it’s still sad. And while the erstwhile greatest city on Earth has phoenixed itself from the ashes more than once, it seems ever more likely that perhaps the damage is too devastating to recover from this time.
On Sunday, Michael Stuhlbarg, a fairly well-known actor, was taking in the evening air on the Upper East Side near Central Park when a troglodyte whacked him in the back of the neck with a rock. (A varying report says the Neanderthal flung the rock in the actor’s direction.) Stuhlbarg chased his assailant until police were able to arrest 27-year-old Xavier Israel, a homeless man who — all together now — has been arrested before, including for assault and robbery.
Stuhlbarg refused treatment at the scene. Opening Night of his new Broadway play “Patriots” was scheduled for the following evening, so he probably didn’t have time for the NYC emergency department rigamarole. Israel, who was out on parole, was charged with assault and harassment and — shockingly — held on $50,000 cash bail — at least, as of this writing.
Mere hours after the rock attack, a woman who was minding her own business in Midtown was whacked in the back. No mere rock was good enough for her attacker though; he had a hammer with him, presumably in case the opportunity arose to batter someone. The New York Post reports:
A moped-riding maniac slammed a hammer into a woman’s back – after grimly warning her, “Nobody’s gonna find you here” – in an unprovoked attack inside Central Park early Monday, cops said.
The stranger approached the 39-year-old victim at 64th Street and Center Drive inside the iconic greenspace around 12:15 a.m. and made the ominous threat, police said.
He then used the implement to strike her in the back without warning, authorities said.
The attacker then zipped away on his moped and had not been caught by later Monday, cops said.
It was barely a month ago that medical student and cellist Iain Forrest, who performs under the name “Eyeglasses,” was conked in the noggin with his own water bottle by a random stranger.

But just because some assailants have upped their game by using blunt instruments, doesn’t mean that the old sucker-punch game is dead. Over the past couple of weeks, young women have been getting punched in the face or head by random psychos. The NYPD has arrested three suspects so far (at least one of whom has already been released).

Even if one manages to avoid the random violent assaults that are becoming the Big Apple’s signature assault, there are always falling debris and building collapses to watch out for!
I don’t know what has happened to our society — especially in blue locales — that prevents us from locking away the dangerous predators and sufferers of mental illness, but I can’t imagine we’re headed anywhere good. Wherever we wind up, New York City seems determined to be in the vanguard.

Excellent
all that violence you have been exporting for so long
is coming home to roost
Bye bye shithole America
You voted for Hilary?
Trump will fix it – the last nail by the ”King of Jerusalem”!
Thank Joe Biden.
Dems. Do you see what you voted for?
Please vote Repub in Nov to rid your party of the insane.
LOL! Michael Stuhlbarg … never heard of the guy before, but a hundred-to-one odds he’s a jew, and the slimy, swindling, sleazy Noo Yok jew type, and almost certainly a homosexual.
Well, little slimy jew, what do you expect when you engage in such vile subversion of a society, and civilization? … through creating social chaos, mass migrant invasion, etc
It reminds me of that knt in France who was pushing and cheering for mass migrant invasion until she herself got raped by a gang of recently arrived baboons. Divine poetic justice!
It’s called Anarcho-Tyranny.
Noo Yoyk was always a violent shithole.. and kosher..
..they cleaned it up in the 70’s and 80’s but that required gangs of vigilantes patrolling the streets,,and riding the subway… because it worked.. and violence must be opposed and dealt with..with the threat of violence.. monkey men understand this basic premise if not any other, least of which being, ape should not kill ape for small change and chinese landfill…outside Macey’s..
so the threat of being injured kept them on the straight and narrow…or put them in hospital..
Now you have imbeciles like this one here, bemoaning what’s happened to their beautiful cities..blissfully unaware that it was people like them and their cancerous ideologies,,,
That’s what happened…that’s what always happens..
imbecile…
Babylon NY has deserved to be unhabilitable/unhosbitable !
“And while the erstwhile greatest city on Earth…” … Get the f*ck out of here with that absurd hyperbole. Jew York City is, was, and always will be a shit-hole jam-packed with vermin, with the rats being some of the more dignified inhabitants. I lived in Jew York part time for a couple years in 2001-2002 and while I had a lot of interesting times there and enjoyed much of the variety of dining and entertainment options available, as well as rather convenient accessibility to travel anywhere in the world from there, it is a wretched, overall filthy place chock-full of slobbering kikes, meatheads, miserable yuppies, weirdos, and stinking filth. There are many cities around the world much “greater” than Jew York.
Anyway, part of the problem with runaway crime and violence there, besides it being a leftist shit-hole, is Jew York has rather strict restrictions on good citizens carrying firearms. The criminal scum don’t worry about such restrictions, of course. See, where I live, citizens are free to carry, concealed or open cowboy-style, pretty much any sort of gun we wish. Lo and behold, citizens here don’t get randomly clocked in the melon with bricks or females sucker-punched in the face by surly degenerate niggers. Citizens here also didn’t get used as human toilets by “authorities” during the covid-1984 hysteria as ammunition was flying off the shelves at that time. Funny how that works.
Chesterton, good comment… Tovarish 😂
My guess is that this writer is a jewess who may be harboring a secret delight when these imported animals sucker strike their prey- especially when the blonde girl got it.
“Descent”, you say? I lived nearby in the early 90s. Never seen such horrifying things in my life, before or after, anywhere in the world — and I’ve been all over Asia, Middle East, and Eastern Europe.
The only place NYC ever looked remotely tolerable was in silly HBO TV shows.
It’s all nigger on white violence. The stupid Jew author Horny Athena doesn’t say that.
Jews put niggers into white societies on purpose to injure whites.
How often do whites rape black girls? Never.
Now think, how many blacks rape white girls?
Get a hardhat. A face shield/air filter combination. (3M makes good ones). A bullet-proof vest for front and back. Open-carry a tire iron. Then you’re good to go on the streets and in the subways of NYC.
I wish they would have the fortune to knock out Jonathan Greenblatt or Shmuley Boteach for once. At least those nasty yids would deserve it.
