I learn that two of the attackers, each aged 30 to 45 took it upon themselves to ATTACK Anthony and Gov. Paterson as the opposite teenagers had been trash speaking, earlier than kicking Anthony on the bottom and punching Paterson. These adults escalated the violence and now are attempting to assert that they’re harmless?!! Regardless of the recorded video of the encounter seen beneath!
I’m disgusted to see two grown adults declare innocence after attacking a 20 yr previous and a 70 yr previous who’s legally blind!!! If a former Governor can’t even be protected of violence, nobody is protected. Too many NYC households have had a liked one fall sufferer to violence.
Now we have escalating violence in our metropolis EVERYDAY. If we don’t get our metropolis again so as, we’ll by no means be capable to preserve our most weak residents protected.
