Who would attack a 911 hero?

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 222 points 5 months ago (3 children)

The american healthcare system

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 139 points 5 months ago

Odds are it was truly random and the guy didn't recognize that he was assaulting a celebrity.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 107 points 5 months ago (2 children)

First Rick Moranis, and now Steve Buscemi? This is so sad.

I wonder how often this must happen to non-famous people that don't make the news too.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 32 points 5 months ago

Thankfully the peasants don't matter

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Rick Moranis hasn't been famous in decades. And given that he was attacked from behind, its unlikely the attacker knew him. Just some guy lashing out randomly for who even knows what reason.

I wonder how often this must happen to non-famous people that don’t make the news too.

NYC has one of the highest police budget's per-capita in the world and Manhattan is one of the most densely surveilled places in the country. I have to assume if cops are too busy crushing candy on their phones, this sort of thing is regular and they don't give a shit.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I learned today that the NYPD is as large as the entire Australian military.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Well the New York City metropolitan area has nearly the same population as the nation of Australia so it’s not entirely surprising. NYC alone is approaching 1/3rd of Australia’s population and the US is damn near a police state so yeah

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I hope they didn’t cut off his Johnson.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

No athairmor, these men are cowards.

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 64 points 5 months ago

Steve is a fucking treasure.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 57 points 5 months ago (2 children)

As I understand, Mr Buscemi found himself on 9/11 day near his old fire station, and helped out his old crew tirelessly.

I don't need that to be true. Steve Buscemi is a nice guy and doesn't deserve that shit.

[–] FiniteLooper@lemm.ee 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not that there’s a good reason for ever doing this, but why did this person punch him at all?

[–] Wilshire@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (2 children)
[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Not all that unusual to see a guy walking some corner of town, ranting to himself in an agitated state. Social isolation, anxiety, fear, and frustration turning people into human-shaped time bombs just waiting to go off.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

washes hands

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

I guess he was out of his element...

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Stay safe out there.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 5 months ago

This is a travesty, man!

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I hope it wasn’t Phil Leotardo

[–] CuttingBoard@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

He's dead IRL too.

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Finally getting his revenge for what the animal Blundetto did to his kid brother Billy.

[–] ToffeeIsForClosers@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

This isn’t the first time he’s been attacked.

[–] Wilshire@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago
[–] suction@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Not even the 2nd time, he was leeduhrally murdered once.

[–] Erasmus@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Geeze whose gonna be next, Dolly Parton?

[–] Fidel_Cashflow@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

My bad, I was smacked on glue and didn't know it was Steve. Live and learn, am I right

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Mr. Pink. Eye.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Tony Soprano says hello

[–] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

with an eye injury

How could they tell?

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Time heals all wounds... Except these crazy eyes
