    Wow. Glad you are ok. You did the right thing in moving your wife so that you were between her and the guy. Aside from crossing the street or going back, you didn't have many options. Something I do when passing strangers just standing around is I always turn my head slightly to keep an eye on them with my peripheral vision, but it sounds like he cold cocked you right as you passed him.

    Again, glad you are ok.

    I don’t know how it happened, but that’s not my quote. I never said that to you.

    Edit: That was Francis 3422 that said it.

    That is often not possible when someone sucker punches you hard enough to knock you to the ground.

    This is what Justin Smollet wanted with his hate crime

    To rally his base of thugs, specifically blaming their shortcomings on the white man, acting out in violence

    He better get a felony !!

    Be polite, be professional but have a plan to kill every person you meet.

    I haven't heard from NYPD and just saw the guy 2 blocks from my apartment walking on the street.

    It's terrible feeling uneasy where you live....

    That is why he needs a gun. He could have shot the "perp" once he hit the ground and moved his family members out of the way. He likely could have gotten off at least 6 shots in that crowded area. He could have possibly reloaded and shot off another 6 in the general area of the "perp".

    Sometimes laws are made to be broken.

    I wasn't serious.

    There really isn't too much he can do. He choose to live in the biggest of cities in the USA and this a negative possible consequence. I am happy OP and his family are safe, but there isn't much he can do.

    No, the black/red jacket with white sweatpants. As I originally suspected he was homeless and today he's wearing the same exact outfit, I'd venture to guess I could expect him to always wear this same outfit.
