Beatdown in Jackson Heights


From CBS 2:

Police are looking for a man who nearly killed a transgender woman in a beating in Queens.

Around 4 a.m. Sunday, the attacker followed the 35-year-old victim — whose given name was Ricardo Sal but goes by the name Kathy — to the front of Sal’s apartment on 93rd Street in Jackson Heights, police said.

CBS2’s Young reported neighbors said some of the transgender or cross-dressing renters in the neighborhood congregate late at night under the elevated No. 7 train tracks.

“They’re in the Roosevelt Avenue, you know?” a neighbor said. “Then they like to get some drunk guys, you know what I’m saying?”

The assailant followed his victim home to a gate on 93rd Street, which leads to a small basement apartment. The attack was quick as it was violent.

Police late Tuesday did not know the motive and were still looking for a suspect.

Neighbors said the attack was only the most recent and violent in a series of incidents linked to the overnight street activities along the Roosevelt Avenue strip.

“I’m not surprised, it’s always happening,” one local business owner told 1010 WINS’ Al Jones. “At night time…it’s really dangerous over here.”


So if this regularly occurs, why hasn't anything been done about it?

There's a hold up in the Bronx,
Brooklyn's broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem
That's backed up to Jackson Heights.

Car 54, Where are you?

Basement apartment? Sounds like a case for DOB.

Car 54... beat me to it.

This might put a damper on the creeping gentrification by the El. Maybe they should turn the 7 line into a highline park.

By the way, Isn't this by diversity square?

As usual, a big part of the story missing. Did they tease/taunt/steal from a few drunk guys?

Did they offer to take a guy home and he find a snake living in the garden?

Sloppy reporting.

Is a "transgender woman" a dude in a dress, or a chick who dresses like a dike? It's real confusing nowadays.

"Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
Candy came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She sayes, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go:
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is the place where they said:
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side..."

if the people of nyc were able the exercise their God given right to defend themselves, the attacker would be dead or in the hospital.
end of story.
there would be some real incentive not to attack people.

Always look for the Adam's Apple
not talking from experience
I just heard it is a good idea from a friend who had a rough nite

------------

It is NOT confusing. A transgender is either a man or woman who have done some or all surgery to make them the other gender. A transvestite is a man who likes to dress in women's clothing. It is not rocket science and is nothing new, this has existed for decades.

This is a crime ridden area. Everyone knows not to walk the streets of Jackson Heights (especially Roosevelt Ave) after 10 pm...In the 90's Colombian drug dealers ran rampant. Hookers filled the streets at night. Some vagrants are gone now but it looks like they are making a comeback. What else can one expect in the age of non-proactive, progressive policing that Di Blasio & Bratton have introduced.

Years ago there used to be an NYPD Mobile Command Center van on Roosevelt Ave & 90th street. Today you can hardly see a cop anywhere. It's not just 90th street but a whole stretch of Roosevelt ave from 103rd street to 69th street. I haven't see our city councilman do shit about this. They go on NY1 or spanish TV to show their faces everyonce in a while and that's about it. Fuck 'eM

same thing happened in the Philippines to a U.S. Marine.
it was all going fine until he realized there were "parts" he did not expect.
"he said he had acted in self-defense after he discovered that a man was giving him oral sex, not a woman."
choked a bit too much
12 years for homicide
U.S. Marine jailed in Philippines for killing transgender woman

Make that millenia:

"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God." - Deuteronomy 22: 5

Transgender like bruce,chick with a dick ? This is nyc . You can identify as anyone/ anything. Isn't it great living in a super liberal city!!

La la la Lola.

There will probably be a massive protest for this drag queen despite how irresponsible HIS actions were.

And I doubt that ass that assaulted him didn't know. There has always been trannies street walking late at night there. Probably a lot more now, since the authorities pushed them out of the meatpacking district in Manhattan to make way for luxury shopping and lodging (The genesis of the nexus of development and city government collusion).

Broader shoulders is also a tell.

And Bruce Jenner is still a guy. And an acquitted killer. Another athlete responsible for someone brutally killed involved with the Kardashians.

Regardless of your beliefs, or lack thereof, there is much wisdom in the Good Book.

I hope George continues to read and learn from the Bible, as we all should!!!
