On May 13, the news shook the whole United States - Steve Buscemi, the star of the famous drama "Atlantic Empire", was randomly attacked by a "crazy madman" on the streets of New York, and his elegant face was destroyed by hot hands, so he was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
The random case occurred at 11:48 a.m. on Wednesday (May 7), when Buscemi, a New York resident who has lived in Midtown Manhattan for many years, walked along the walking path of Kipps Bay before lunch, which belongs to New York's Third Avenue and has always been crowded with tourists.
The police are even more dense everywhere, so Buximi never thought that in such a place, in broad daylight, as a star, he would encounter any accidents.
However, New York, which has long been "magical", still taught Buscemi, a native of New York who played the "corrupt emperor", a hard lesson.
"I saw Buscemi walking with a woman. Then, through the corner of the window, I saw him being held and thrown to the ground, and then punched in the face several times. ”
"After this incident, I was worried about our safety, because we didn't close until 11 p.m., and now that the law and order situation is not even safe in Kipps Bay at noon, you can imagine how terrible the streets will be at that time." A witness working at the Kipps Bay store told the media.
Because Buscemi issued a statement through social platforms after the attack, coupled with the exposure of conservative media in New York, the case quickly shook the whole country, and the New York police had to increase their police efforts to pursue it.
So far, however, no suspect has been traced, except that it has been revealed that the suspect is a homeless man (homeless) with a beard, a baseball cap, a blue T-shirt and black sweatpants.
American public opinion, because of this case, once again recalled the fear brought by the "random attackers" in New York in the past, and remembered who had brought the beauty back to New York.
"This kind of thing happened all the time in the 60s, 70s, 80s of the 20th century. It was until Republican Giuliani (Trump's main ally today) cleaned up law and order in the '90s, and after 2001, Republican-turned-Bloomberg (who became independents in 2007 and returned to Democrats in 2018) continued to do so. Now it's all back again. The only change is the subway graffiti. And the question New York voters should be asking is, what happened after Bloomberg? ”
"I'm going to beat the drums of a new war... It is proposed that elected officials at any level should have no additional security unless they understand what it is like to live in the world they have created for us. They are supposed to serve the Americans, but in reality, we somehow serve them. The use of election funds for security purposes should be outlawed. After all, when they have the police on hand to protect them, naturally everything is said to be fine, so why worry about their safety? ”
The day after President Trump's inauguration, Buscemi participated in an anti-Trump affirmative action march. He posed with a sign that said, 'Trump, you are out of place.'" Now, a Biden voter is reaping the fruits of what he voted. ”
And Buscemi is not the first New York celebrity to be randomly attacked recently.
On March 31, American actor Michael Stuhbarg was also randomly attacked while running on the Upper East Side, and a rock hit him in the head, but fortunately Stuhbarg was fine.
However, unlike the Buximi case, the police have not caught the suspect for a long time. The perpetrator of the attack on Studbagh was arrested by the police at 7:45 p.m. that night.
According to the police, the suspect in this case, Xavier Israel, is only 27 years old and suffers from mental illness.
The above two celebrity attacks are actually just the tip of the iceberg of New York's "crime wave".
Prior to this year, the New York subway became a "ghetto" for the homeless, making it a high-risk location for random attacks.
Many subway passengers have been stabbed with knives, which may seem tragic, but they are lucky, because at least there is a chance that they will be sent to the hospital for treatment.
There are also subway passengers who have been pushed off the platform and run over to death - which is why the New York City government has recently spent a lot of money to install safety fences on the New York platform.
Since last year, the New York subway has evicted the homeless and provided them with shelter beds due to Mayor Adams's vigorous rectification, which has eased the "random attack crisis" in New York.
However, as many as 200,000 illegal immigrants poured into New York from the southern border of the United States, causing the collapse of the shelter system in New York, and a large number of homeless people in the United States were once again evicted from shelters because there were not enough beds (shelter beds in the United States are on a first-come, first-served basis).
As a result, a large number of homeless people have appeared on the streets of New York, USA.
Street attacks in New York have also occurred in large numbers as a result, with many people on the streets, inexplicably slapped by homeless people.
It once caused panic among American citizens.
New York Mayor Adams knows that the reason for all this is because New York's welfare is so good, which has led to a "siphon effect of homelessness" and a wave of immigration brought about by the Democratic administration's "welcoming illegal immigrants".
But these two, for New York Mayor Adams, are powerless to change, so he can only have a headache and a foot pain, and invited the New York National Guard to settle in the subway station, and then deployed the police on duty in the subway station to the streets.
But how long this "pasting politics" of "tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall" can last, it is estimated that Adams himself does not know.
In fact, whether it was a random attack on the New York subway before, or a random attack on the streets of New York today, the perpetrators were basically homeless people. And these people, without accident, almost all of them suffer from mental illness.
This is not surprising, because the Democrats in the United States, although portraying the homeless in the United States as a "bankrupt" composition, thus endorsing their welfare policies - because under this narrative, ordinary Americans will have "empathy and anxiety", fearing that they will one day also be "bankrupt and homeless", so they choose to support the Democrats' welfare policy line, giving more benefits to the homeless and the poor at the bottom of the United States.
But in fact, many states in the United States have "right of residence" protection, even if you can't pay the mortgage, as long as you or your family only have one house and are willing to continue to live, the bank cannot auction your house, especially in the deep blue state of New York, where the right of residence is more thoroughly protected.
Therefore, 75% of the homeless people in the United States, according to statistics, are actually mentally ill, and the remaining 25% of the bankrupt people are mainly addicts - addicts cannot afford to pay the mortgage, but by selling the property, they can get a part of the cash cash for the appreciation of the property.
