A young woman reader writes:

Last Thursday night at 1:30 a.m. I was mugged on South Elliott Place between Dekalb and Lafayette by 2 young men (between 16-25, but didn’t get a good look). They came running up from behind and grabbed me (not sure if they jumped out of the bushes or a dark area under a stoop), threw me to the sidewalk, said they were holding a gun to my head, frisked me, and took my wallet, phone, keys, bag, and then ran away.

The victim also reports that, according to a detective at the 88th Precinct, this is the third time in the last week that a woman in her early 20s has been mugged by two men of matching descriptions between 1 and 4 a.m.

  1. “I don’t see any expression of desire to see someone violently murdered from the What — is that a post that was deleted?”

  2. perp (pûrp)
    n. Slang

    “The What’s comment should be removed.

    And he should be banned once and for all.

    Talk of his desires to see someone violently murdered is really the last straw.

    I’m a huge proponent of freedom of speech, but this crosses the line. ”

    Where does it say that I wanted to see someone violently murdered?????????

    You know what funny? The Asshats want the “good” without the “bad”! 11217 you can blow me!!!!!!

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  3. I don’t see any expression of desire to see someone violently murdered from the What — is that a post that was deleted?

    Assuming traditional parameters of free speech (i.e., no yelling fire in a crowded theater), the What’s comments are nowhere near “the line.” Of course, this is a blog, so those parameters need not necessarily apply.
