With pepper spray they are already pre-seasoned.

People get killed over coats and shoes. It’s better to be armed.

In general, if a man is pointing a gun at you and just asking for money, you’re probably better off giving him money than taking any other action.

Metro station + major bus station + homeless people + seven-eleven is like a perfect storm. Those four things all on the same block is a guaranteed recipe for crime, it’s like a welcome mat for thugs and criminals.

In the short synopsis up top, AlrNow also left out fact the man had a “full beard”…where is the outrage they seemed to “forget” the facial follicle status of the attacker too?

Instead of looking for more non-issues to get all hot and bothered about, perhaps you should flick that little chip right off of your shoulder.

That doesn’t narrow it down at all! Besides, the mere mention of someone’s age or race is ageist and racist. If you want to catch the guy, his attire is of the utmost importance. Because you know, criminals never change their clothes. Understanding the criminal wardrobe is key to solving these kinds of cases.
