Yeah, to keep hotheaded lunatics like your 32-year-old buttwad client from attacking his 47-year-old target peaceably exercising his First and Second Amendment recognized rights with potentially lethal force.

A Burning Question

Public can’t access fire extinguishers in subway system — and MTA has no plans to change that after horrific murder of woman on F train [More]

What, the one where the useless “Ony Ones” just walked past it while others were askling why aspiring Daniel Penny’s didn’t step forward?
