not the case in literally any pedestrian friendly city - it's called roofs lol!

but for now, you are still correct. new york's haphazard street shacks threw up during covid certainly won't cut it - but i am sure that restaurants will invest in proper outdoor infrastructure once they have a guarantee that their street is going to be pedestrianized. unless the food is bomb as hell, people will choose the restaurant next door with outdoor heaters, enclosed seating, and properly sealed rain-proof roofs.

And the double deckers are also cool as fuck to ride. It makes me feel like I'm having a classic train experience with the bell ringing as it's rolling into the station. The [sweet] smell of diesel wafting up. The split levels. It's my favorite. I used to leave work at a specific time just to make sure I get the speonk diesel trains.

Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.

This is a pretty shitty troll attempt.

Drivers, but yeah.

And pretty useless when the weather is bad

At the very least they should pedestrianize the rest of Broadway from South Ferry to 59th St

I agree to disagree

The dragging out of a deli and the beat down doesn't fit those requirements? It wasn't just a stab wound.

Ohhhhhh this story just gets worse and worse

Exactly, 255 people died in NYC from bikes and E-bikes last year alone!

Oh no wait, sorry that was cars actually. It was the cars that killed those people.

That’s right. Not a big deal.

Pedestrian streets are really great. Especially eating outside when the weather is nice.

You didn't say African American. You said black. Afro Latinos are black but they are not African American.

Who says Madison square and leaves out the park

The law is a harsh mistress. For first degree murder, the law requires a showing beyond a reasonable doubt that "the defendant acted in an especially cruel and wanton manner pursuant to a course of conduct intended to inflict and inflicting torture upon the victim prior to the victim’s death." A single stab wound that results in death almost certainly cannot constitute torture under this law as a single action cannot be a "course of conduct". The idiot was convicted of second degree murder.

To give you an idea of how hard it is to get a conviction for first degree murder by torture, only three convictions have been obtained in the thirty years it has been in effect.

The literally has nothing to do with it. Dominicans and African Americans are two distinct groups in nyc with different cultures and some have biases towards the other group.

Sorry about your buddy, no good deed. He has a black eye and the kids went home and ate ravioli like nothing happened

You do know that almost everyone who identifies as Dominican has significant African heritage, right?

Yes.

You know a community is considered a group of people, not the geographic area, right?

Propaganda? What the duck are you talking about?? I don’t know if the attacker is black, I just know racist slurs were used. That usually signifies a hate crime.

Why are you so hell bent on making this anything but about about a story where a young black boy was bullied and beat up? Are you so averse to recognizing that black people can be victims of crimes that you have this weird visceral and racist reaction to this story? Says a shit ton about you.
