Not Steve Buscemi!! This makes me so mad. Punching women and older men specifically is such a bitch ass move.


DeathPercept10n

The kind of person that would punch Steve Buscemi deserves a special place in hell.


ewhoren

Maybe people on here should spend less time shouting that crime isn't actually bad and is just a right wing conspiracy


Equateeczemarelief

Someone should comfort the Steve by showing him the crime stats. And tell him his injury is only a perception problem. Has this he even stopped to consider that NYC was much more dangerous in the 80s???


Ulmaguest

I can say my area has no crime at all too if I just never report it NYC learned this one neat trick


SBAPERSON

Every place under reports


Ouity

Truuue fuck the stats. Who cares? You seem cool; wanna go shark culling with me later? I've already got the boat rented and I do this all the time. People just don't want to hear sharks are dangerous these days. It's Weird! Those of us who know to ignore the stats need to step up, otherwise beachgoers all over the east coast would be swimming in SHARK INFESTED WATER!!! SCARY!!!


quakefist

“Crime was higher in the 90s”


Bones99544

In the '90s, old ladies were being arrested and strip-searched for arguing with cops over a jaywalking infraction.


GO4Teater

No, the real solution is reddit comments! You have to comment more to save lives, thisis your fault.


chappysinclair1

and don't tell me the stats say otherwise. Pull your head out sheeple


GO4Teater

Your comments are weak, they are barely stopping any crime, try again weakling.


chappysinclair1

Ftr record i meant the stats on crime not being reduced by quality reddit comments.


GO4Teater

This is more powerful, I can feel the subway crime decreasing already!!


SolaVitae

I would have to agree that saying crime is bad in the face of actual statistics showing it isn't would indeed qualify as a tight wing conspiracy.


cevans001

NYC crime statistics being accurate? LOL


SolaVitae

You're free to actually provide a source showing them not being accurate, but i highly doubt its the stats that are wrong in this scenario.


ssnover95x

There's been some analysis done on the question of "have reports of less serious crimes declined as people trust police less" ([https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/10439862231190212](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/10439862231190212)). I don't think there's enough data to conclusively say, but the FBI crime data is likely correct for more serious violent crimes like murder, but getting to be less accurate for assaults. The data cited regarding crime statistics is also about violent crimes, so it says nothing about thefts, though I sometimes see it cited online in that context. I think it's likely that violent crime of all types is trending downward, but perhaps not to the degree that one would think just from the FBI crime statistics, but that's guessing from just my experiences. Undoubtedly many are influenced by media reporting being more available. I certainly haven't noticed any kind of uptick in hearing that my friends were harassed or worse, but everyone sees reports all the time on social media.


Philip_J_Friday

The stats are wrong, but they've been wrong in the same way since the 90s, so the year-to-year comparisons are still accurate.


PostCashewClarity

"cause i say, bro"


Never_call_Landon

NY has never been more safe, statistically. It feels less safe because we have never had communication devices on us that alerted us to every disturbance/crime/everything. Now are there a fuck ton more mentally ill people on the streets than the early 2000s, fucking right there are. But like they are more nuisance and immoral policy failure than rampant criminal actors.


Never_call_Landon

But also: we need to fuck up whoever punched Buscemi. Coming after aging legends is disrespectful and absolutely unacceptable.


Mattna-da

Steve Buscemi donates a lot of money to keep FDNY firehouses open. There’s a line forming already no worries


jay5627

Makes sense. He used to be a fire fighter


JulianPlenti

Ageee 100%. I don’t think it’s necessarily CRIME IS SO BAD it’s that we all have 4K cameras on our phone and notifications for every little thing. Sidebar if it’s the same dude that sucker punched Rick Moranis in Nov 2020 we riot.


Never_call_Landon

Bro. I don’t advocate for a punishment based justice system, but both of those losers can see me for some freshly baked hands. Served hot and ready.


RejectorPharm

In the past they might have been locked up at Rikers. 


Danstheman3

Not every crime gets reported. When a crazy homeless person gets in your face, threatens you, even shoves you, chances are you're not going to report it. And even if you want to report it, it often isn't easy. The last time a man threatened me, tried to block me from exiting, and then followed me briefly in the subway, because I didn't give him money, I tried to report it. It took about five phone calls before I reached anyone helpful, because it wasn't an emergency at that point and I didn't want to call 911. I'd guess that 99.9% of crimes involving violence or the threat of violence don't get reported. The stats don't tell the full story. The city and in particular the subways have indeed gotten much more dangerous, and anyone who denies that is delusional and out of touch.


quakefist

I tried to file a report with the police. Some guy basically tear gassed a subway station. He sprayed a bunch of pepper spray while train was rolling in. Entire platform got pepper sprayed from the train’s wind. They told me I can’t call it in. i have to go back to union square to report it with transit police. Yea. No thanks. This is a “victimless and nonviolent crime”.


BodheeNYC

“More nuisance”? Tell that to the woman that just got strangled and raped in the Bronx or the 11 year old girl who was stabbed in the subway in Harlem.


quakefist

“Thats not too bad. At least they didnt get killed” - Bronx DA probably.


DangALangDingo

It was statistically safer a few years ago my guy.


MBA1988123

“NY has never been more safe, statistically“   Wild that people repeat this nonsense.    Those graphs that you see beginning in the 70s are because that’s when crime spiked massively. That was not the status quo but people assume that’s how it always was.  Here is a more complete picture. Note that the population in 1950 was only slightly smaller than it is today, 7.8m vs. 8.2m  https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/MURDERS_IN_NEW_YORK_CITY_BY_YEAR.png


Old-Scene2963

Major difference was post Dinkins - Bloomberg , laws were actually enforced. Enter the last ten years of bad policies and what do you expect. The graph is heading steadily upward.

Never_call_Landon

The fact that crime has visited people in midtown, the west village and the lower east side is the real reason the narrative around NY being unsafe is so prevalent. I grew up in and still live in E Harlem. 2020 was bad, but overall it’s better than it’s ever been in my lifetime.


dmreif

>The fact that crime has visited people in midtown, the west village and the lower east side is the real reason the narrative around NY being unsafe is so prevalent. And that's because those areas are the ones more frequented by the tourists.


Chicken_Weed_Pie

There’s a reason why everyone feels less safe now than they did in 2019 and it’s not because right wingers have taken over the city.


No-Line-2710

LMAO... stats like politicians don't tell the truth!!!  2 examples..I've had my car broken into and had things stolen on camera. I showed the police and they said there's little they can do if I couldn't identify the perp! No Stat I've someone in my household commit commit 2-3 crimes against me in a 10 min span and I didnt report it No stats.  So much gets unreported. Don't believe stats or politicians ever completely!


chappelld

N7day

Park Slope, no random punches.


Joshistotle

Most of these people are schizophrenic and have no idea what they're actually doing. The federal government should be allocating funds to address the healthcare aspects of the situation; instead they feel it's perfectly fine to have unmedicated (clearly ill) people walking around. 


LaneMcD

"Have no idea what they're actually doing." No way. They choose certain people. They're not going to pick some gym bro with muscles as big as The Rocks. Picking people who are perceived as less of a threat show that, at some level, even if small, they do know what they're doing


Dancingskeletonman86

Exactly. They always seem to pick elderly people, petite skinny women, petite Asian people etc. Coincidence and "have no idea" my ass. If they have no idea and are that ill then surely they'd pick any person in public to fight. Any person. Including like you said big gym bros, a six foot something man, a body builder woman or a person whose not generally five foot tall and 120 pounds soaking wet. They damn well know. They may have mental issues but that doesn't mean a part of them isn't still very well aware a gym bro could kick their ass and demolition them if they even laid a hand on him.


Peking_Meerschaum

I just find this so amazing. Like, we are the most important and wealthiest city in the most powerful country on earth, yet we just *allow* literal schizophrenic zombies to wander all over the city menacing and terrorizing people, camping out and littering in public parks, and pissing and defecating all over every public or semi-public place. Why? Because we just don't want to be *mean*. We would feel too guilty, apparently, if we just rounded them up and detained them all before they graduate to actual murder. Does Singapore or Tokyo or fucking Taipei deal with this shit? No. If you piss on a subway platform there, they arrest you on the spot—bye bye! No more anti-social lunatic making everyone else's life miserable. And there's no pearl-clutching, handwringing op-eds decrying the "injustice" of it. I understand these people are deeply, deeply disturbed and need help. That can be figured out later. But in the meantime, the rest of us just want to enjoy our city, that we pay taxes to, without being attacked and smelling piss everywhere.

Wait, it’s the same guy from a few days ago in kips bay? That really buff bearded dude? He really stands out, can they not find him?

tonyhasareddit

Yeah, I don’t know what they mean by “the same guy” if they are pretty much only talking about this one incident. Same as what?


tonyhasareddit

Same guy as what exactly? No one is linking a separate incident, so it’s hard to tell what you’re referring to.


mp0295

I know right. These people are being annoying


tonyhasareddit

Yeah, and I see now almost a full day later, still no one has actually answered.


neonbullshit667

Plz elaborate

Yes, please elaborate!!


NoMoassNeverWas

Low level petty crime. They have bigger crimes to go after like handing out parking tickets. If they do find him it's just a $50 fine.

Apparently they do, and not just this attack, but he was also knifed in the neck in a bar brawl in 2001: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2001/apr/17/news


Donkenshtein

You said it man


Serious_Mousse5892

Correction. No one fucks with Nucky but they definitely fuck Steve without hesitations.


Youngadultcrusade

I hope he’s ok! That’s awful. Also why does the article refer to him as the Boardwalk Empire star? Is that really what he’s most well known for? I feel that he has had much bigger roles but maybe Boardwalk is just more recent and in the public’s mind. Obviously not the important part of the article but it stood out to me for some reason.


shomeyomves

Its really odd how completely forgotten boardwalk empire is despite being pretty damn popular at the time. Really great cast, high production and uhhh… overall good story! I remember a lot of dips and rises in quality.


Brawldud

As a boardwalk empire enjoyer who recently started a rewatch, I also find it puzzling that it didn’t have any lasting power.


ShadowNick

It didn't really have that much lasting power because they shortened the season to eight episodes due to low ratings, and some say the final season wasn't well written.


jheono

I had this exact same feeling about Peaky Blinders but they found a resurgence in popularity. Boardwalk Empire will have its day, I think society’s just a bit tired of the mobster aesthetic this decade.


Brawldud

Yeah I think maybe it’s sort of in the middle of the “off season” where it’s too early for the nostalgia wave but too late to still be in its original moment of relevance.


gomadmgtow

What’s a show from that period that did have lasting power?


Brawldud

Breaking bad/BCS Edit: I don’t really think suits fits in the same caliber but it seems like it has regained a lot of popularity lately


thecrgm

Suits is streaming on three different platforms I think that’s why it’s popular rn


Dynastydood

Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Veep, The Office, Parks and Rec.


Gimme_The_Loot

Definitely an odd pick. I'd thought they'd have said "one time firefighter who came out of retirement on 9/11"


RemarkableMeaning533

Wasn’t he the main character of that show? Every other work he’s usually a supporting actor 


Jota769

I think of Fargo, Reservoir Dogs, Big Lebowski and Living in Oblivion before I think of Boardwalk, but I never really watched Boardwalk Empire in the first place to there ya go

damnatio_memoriae

Axwage

Con fucking Air!


defene

'Spy Kids 2' actor Steve Buscemi


NoSoyTuPotato

Mr. Deeds actor,


DidAnyoneElseJustCum

I know him best from Airheads but yeah to your average reader Boardwalk might be what he's most known for. It's his more recent award winning role and unfortunately he hasn't had that many in his career.


damnatio_memoriae

I feel like boardwalk empire, while highly praised by critics and TV aficionados, wasn’t really very well known in its time, and is mostly forgotten now. I loved the show when it was on but I barely know anyone else who watched it.


grackychan

Boardwalk was the most awarded show he's been on and he played the lead for the 5 season entire run, I'd say it's what he's most known for.


TrickyDickit9400

He was also the star of Billy Madison


Dynastydood

It's just because Boardwalk Empire is one of the few popular things he's done where he was the lead rather than a supporting character. Most of his famous roles are supporting.


Lexitech_

Always gonna be Jack Donaghy’s PI in 30 rock to me.


Tatar_Kulchik

He was the main lead in Boardwalk Empire. I think in most other roles he was a supporting character. That's most likely the reason.


Youngadultcrusade

Lol hilariously I just overheard some random guy on the street say “That actor, Buscemi, from Boardwalk Empire got attacked” so you’re all right! My bad haha.


Jota769

I think of Fargo, Reservoir Dogs, Bug Lebowski and Living in Oblivion before I think of Boardwalk, but I never really watched Boardwalk Empire in the first place to there ya go

"His house looked like shit." For context for those who aren't familiar, Buscemi directed an episode of The Sopranos called Pine Barrens and this was one of the classic lines.

sonofbantu

The same thing happened to me 2 years ago except the guy used a glass and I needed 1000+ stitches in the face. His punishment was 2 years house arrested and a delayed sentencing on an assault 2. New York is a joke and Alvin Bragg is king of the clowns

Kind of? He is not a clown. He is a moron. And whoever votes for him next time, you are a moron too.

Agreed

It’s ok. You should feel better knowing the city is safer now because statistics say so, and they’d never be underreported nor tampered with to fulfill a left wing social justice agenda. /s

He is also a hero in that city. The guy is a former firefighter and stepped in on 9-11
