There have been quite a few random stabbings in my city too, don't know what the **** is going on. Hope they find that lunatic and send him to an island far away.
So sad. I live in New York, and things like this have been happening way too much lately. Not too long ago, 3 boys were wanted for robbing a store and assaulting an older woman. Then just recently another boy was wanted for robbing one of those dollar stores and posting about it on Facebook.
Wtf is going on. Anyway, this is terrible but luckily her scars don't look too bad and can be faded away by some cosmetic work.
What a pathetic asshole. I feel so bad for her. This is the Gay area in NYC. I hope the Gays and everyone else stays safe from this Horrible perpetrator.
I live in NYC and I hope they catch this crazy lunatic pronto!
