How many females walk up and sucker punch an older man or woman? So don't tell me women do it as much as a male. This country needs to wake up regarding abuse and quit supporting it by ignoring it.

She is to the left of me, and I consider myself as being on the left.

Two of her four sisters are on the left, including one who is a member of a fundamentalist Christian cult. The third sister is probably, although she won't actually tell us, at best a "swing voter," and she is, in fact, the last sister to remain on Staten Island.

But yes, it is NY's right wing borough.

It will take more than two years of outpatient sessions to cure that kind of behavior. He needs to be locked away for a good long while. His face shows total indifference. His victim was lucky to have survived. My grandmothers would have been dead on the spot. For that matter, they never made it to 81 in the first place (one didn’t even make it to 71).

9. Hansel Esparragoza, mental illness

Hansel has 21 prior arrests, was not held for most recent two arrests (1 for petty theft, the other for either exposing himself to a mother and two children or for not her child endangerment-type charge).
These charges are apparently no longer charges where the arrestee has to post bond-due to bail reform in NY..
Hansel is likely a person who is mentally ill, and his mental illness most likely is untreated. He was again released after this arrest.

I mean violently punching a person much older down!

Assaulting someone waaaay older, or waaay younger like toddler, kids particularly before they sprout up in tween, or teenage yrs. And in general someone in adulthood who's waaaay smaller (although there's the rare martial arts person of any statue).

It's horrific, violent bullying!
