Family of Bronx assault victim fly to New York from Ireland

Phlutie Phan, your a twit plain and simple. you have now idea what your talking about, your lack of knowledge regarding anything whatsoever on subject is in plain view. "Ignorance is a bliss" does not come into play on this one. "A fools fool" does however Thank you and have a nice day

I think in most large cities, the suburbs are much more dangerous places to be at night than the city centre. Coming home from a night out in Central London, I had no worries about my safety in the centre of town, which is crowded with tourists and Londoners on a night out. Coming home, I had to walk a long way as the bus does not go as far as where I live and there are always gangs of men roaming the streets, looking for trouble after the nightclubs close. That's when I am most fearful. But during the day, these suburbs are perfectly safe. These ladies should have ordered a cab home.

CORRECTION: Alisha's friend is unnamed. I gave credit to Rosie, Alisha's neighbor, by mistake. It was the friend who I was praising, for her bravery.

My heart goes out to Alisha, and I pray for her speedy recovery. This monster's attack is as inexplicable as the rampage of James Holmes, in Colorado. Let's hope he is apprehended soon. Rosie should be commended, for her bravery.

Why in all the reports about this on Irish Central not once is any description of this assailant given? When a similar assault in Woodlawn occurred a couple of years ago the assailant was fully described and labeled Irish-American.Could it be that the oh so politically correct cowards at this web site demurred because this time the bum is black?Much more than very likely.

phlutie phan u r an ass u know nothing about woodlawn yonkers neighbourhood one of the safest in the city this is why we r in real shock havnt locked my door in yrs u judgemental fool

She is very aggressive in sport, so it looks. In American society, this gives women a false sense of security. I have been to the Bronx on a number of occasions, taking the subway, and going to the Bronx Zoo. On one occasion, I went to Fordham and when I left, I passed Roosevelt High School across the street, and in broad daylight, there was a rubbish can burning on the school steps. The area is dangerous and one needs to be constantly alert. The woman that she was with was exceptionally aggressive. He probably thought the obvious and it provoked hostility. Women who tramp through a macho area that men find hostile are only asking for trouble. When in the military, men are warned during visits to rough areas to always be on the alert and to avoid trouble spots especially if they are lonely. If they were near a church in the Bronx which was falling apart, I would guess that they were in an area without police protection and shouldn't have been there.
