Thanks to everybody for reaching out to verify on Anthony. He’s nonetheless recovering as he was violently crushed to the bottom, whereas standing his floor with Governor Paterson who’s recovering as nicely.
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 try to assert that they’re harmless?!! Regardless of the recorded video of the encounter seen under!
I’m disgusted to see two grown adults declare innocence after attacking a 20 12 months previous and a 70 12 months 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 beloved one fall sufferer to violence.
We now have escalating violence in our metropolis EVERYDAY. If we don’t get our metropolis again so as, we are going to by no means have the ability to hold our most weak residents protected.
