A woman faces hate crime charges after she allegedly made hateful comments to a black transgender man on a Manhattan subway train before slashing him across the face.
Police say the 44-year-old man was riding a 4 train around 11 p.m. Sunday night when the suspect and her friend got on the train. The man offered to move over for the two women when the suspect told him that she didnt want to sit next to a black person.
The man and woman got into an argument and when the man tried to get off the train at 125th Street the woman slashed him across the face, according to police.
Police arrested Stephanie Pazmino on hate crime charges, as well as charges of criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment

This will probably be ignored like many other hate crimes unless it turns out to be a hoax in which case it will dominate national coverage.

(2,297 posts)Probably 20 in 2016. Normally the slashers have a history of mental illness. The first 6 slashings were front page news in January. Now, no one cares
A recent rash of slashings on the city's subways has people on edge.
As it appears, New York City has a slashing problem.
Since January, there have been at least eight slashings in New York City. Six of them were incidents that took place on the subway. All of those incidents are unrelated.
Following the rash of slashings, New Yorkers are urged to remain alert while riding the subway.
Vigilante group Guardian Angels have made a return and can be spotted patrolling the subway lines reminiscent of the late 1970s and 1980s.
The map below shows the different subway incidents that have occurred so far this year.

American education system and enabling MSM, you have done your job well. Lots of stupid, ignorant and hateful people in ameriKKKa have been let out their cage by their nazi keeper and his MSM 'normalizing' behavior such as this.

Clearly this lady shouldn't be travelling around without adequate supervision, and NO weapons, regardless of her "2nd Amendment" rights.
