Machete Attack in NYC Times Square

Time Square, New York City.

In broad daylight.

You’d think that’s a fairly safe time to be there.

Go sightseeing, take some pics, grab a bite to eat.

Well, apparenyly there’s a new gang in town and the position of the sun doesn’t stop their machetes from coming unsheathed and used against the local citizens.

Either that, or these thugs are just emboldened by the city’s lack of enforcing the law.

Sadly, on Thursday around 1:00 pm, someone learned that the hardway, by having his legs stabbed by a machete-wielding group outside of McDonald’s.

(What is it about fights at/near McDonald’s?)

Is this the new normal for New York City?

Three men have been detained for questioning while the victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital.

But was this really a crime or just another day of cultural enrichment?

A local gives their take in NYC after 30 years.

2 things I absolutely know after living in NYC for more than 30 years:
1. No one is safe in or around a McDonalds. Stay Away.
2. You’re more likely to get attacked by a machete than a gun. It’s true. #NYC #TimesSquare pic.twitter.com/LmG8sdVAMg

Here’s another machete attack in NY from earlier this year.

Justice came swift.

Even the lovely locals will pop out of their apartments to say hi.

And hold a machete to your throat. New York sounds like the place to be!

This woke diversity hire was NOT fired after being filmed assaulting a White guy by holding a machete to his throat, no no no, that's OK; what's NOT OK is the far more SERIOUS crime of CRITICIZING Israel on social media.

That got her fired.https://t.co/S7uwBk3OqI pic.twitter.com/PexVXjECsY
