Disgusting scum

You don't park your car in the hallway. Cars are also dangerous while parked, and is the reason why garages have fire separation laws.

Sure but again the same is true of cars that not many times more so. Additionally if our infrastructure was more bike-centric pedestrians would know where to look out for cyclists

A friend of ours was involved in an adjacent agency and had seen some of the issues that proved insurmountable. So I know that they looked at it, but it is still frustrating that there wasn't a solution. My guess is it involved acquiring property on the street for the additional infrastructure required, but I don't know.

I get innocent until proven guilty, but if all the evidence is there... shouldnt it be an open & shut case?

His actions are ruining the lives of others, it's not like his victims can just continue living their lives like normal

I just don't get how this makes sense

This is a report about the 2019 case from the same suspect: https://nypost.com/2019/04/10/cops-bust-creep-who-forced-teen-to-touch-his-groin-during-break-in/

>McIver allegedly pulled his vehicle to the front of the girl’s building on Beck Street near Avenue St. John in Longwood and slipped into her apartment through a fire escape window shortly before 4 a.m. Monday, authorities and law enforcement sources said.
>
>The 16-year-old girl told police she woke up to find him standing over her bed.
>
>“I want you to touch me, ” the stranger told her, according to police sources. “Don’t scream. I have a gun.”
>
>He then grabbed her hand and placed it on his pants, over his genitals, police said. The terrified teen was able to free herself from his grasp, prompting the man to flee from the room through the same fire escape window.

The one by Brookfield Mall is popping during lunch hour

>McIver already has an attempted rape case pending from 2019, when he broke into a sleeping 16-year-old girl's Bronx bedroom.

I think even the most ardent criminal justice advocates don't get surprised at this anymore.

They can bury the head in the sand and stay silent, but cannot claim ignorance.

Capitalism, racism, and ham sandwiches made him do it, so he had to be let free to rape more women. It's only fair.

This. I wanted to buy an escooter, but couldn't find any that were sold on legitimate sites? (Is Aliexpress legit? It feels off to me.)

Thank god he wasn’t languishing on Rikers!

This is why e-scooters/hoverboards/e-bikes are not allowed in city buses, and having to explain it to those who missed the memo can go both ways with people

Correct.

I feel like you’re not familiar with r/nycbike and r/micromobilitynyc or even live in NYC for that matter.

The car accident fatality rate in NYC is <.01% so I'll agree that the bicycle accident fatality rate is lower than that. But the point is that it can and does happen. I also know an older person who broke her wrist being knocked down by a cyclist. A bicycle accident isn't a joke, especially for the elderly.

I've seen way too many e-bikes zipping past at something closer to 40mph.

Sure but what’s the fatality rate? 0.01%?

I feel like you’re mad about an argument no one is making

Before. But the reason they leave is not to be amongst themselves, it's because they can't afford it. That's the whole argument, displacement.
