The number one cause of black-on-black crime: perception of being stared at.
A Brooklyn man who was threatened with a hatchet while commuting on the subway Monday morning is still reeling from the violent encounter.
“I’m still shaking. I still can’t eat. It’s still replaying in my mind,” Kyle Westby, 42, told The Post hours after he was threatened with an ax at the Franklin Avenue station in Brooklyn around 1 a.m. Monday.
Westby was headed home from a late dinner out with his girlfriend when he arrived at the Prospect Heights station and saw two men, one of whom asked: “Why are you staring at me?” Westby recalled.
“I saw him reach into his jacket and pull out a brown object. He swung at me and I ran. The stairs were two feet away, so I ran up the stairs, and thank God the cops were there,” Westby, a supervisor at a fireproofing company, told The Post.
“I said, ‘Officers, this man swung at me with an ax.’ Immediately, they went down and apprehended him.”
Cops said they took Robert Griffith, 58, into custody following the incident and charged him with attempted assault, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon. In addition to the hatchet, Griffith also allegedly had a punch dagger and screwdriver on him, police said.
Nigga’s got a full arsenal.
That nigga ready for war.
You people think I’m joking when I tell you that the overwhelming majority of black violence begins with “nigga, is you be looking at me? Cuz I done seen you is looking at me.” This is followed by the other black saying “nigga, I looking at you? You be looking at me!”
Usually, they then start firing guns wildly in various directions. Or, if they don’t have a gun, they will resort to a hatchet, which they also apparently have trouble aiming.
Two hours after the hatchet incident, this woman was hit in the face with a metal pole on the subway:
To be fair, although I am a pacifist, if I saw that bitch on the subway, I might also be inclined to hit her in the face with a metal pole.
Her attacker fled the scene and was not apprehended.
