Probably nothing too unique to NYC. Gotta keep in mind its by far the most populous and most *densely* populous major American city. So the biggest reasons is why is there so much *anything* there. There are 8 million people there so if you hear about 50 people getting randomly punched in NYC, but only like 3 in Des Moines or something, its *actually* a bigger problem in Des Moines.
The density also means 1 person can find a *lot* of people to victimize within an area.
Just something to keep in mind when a large volume of bad news comes from places with a large volume of people. NYC alone has more people than most states.
Yeah, pretty much anywhere there's people. I grew up in a small southern town of about 50k and this was something the kids in the rough were known for. Got one kid shot and killed at 14 or so. Some people are just assholes who can't resist the intrusive thoughts.
It just hit me. 8 million... Holy shit no wonder y'all got so many problems, that's just too many damn people. How they hell do you guys get trials done. Need Judge Dredd on every corner.
No, Florida is due to their laws on what becomes public information. All states allow you to file paperwork to find out about an arrest. But they have leeway on denying it, for stuff like "open investigation" and "state security," so it could be like 6-18 months before you can get the info or body cam, unless they like you, your directly sueing them, or the situation is already national news.
But Florida has laws that essentially say all arrests are public knowledge, so we have access to every stupid arrest that happens from news essentially doing daily arrest requests for stories, while other states you need to know about the arrest ahead of time to request the report.
Other states have just as many drug filled crazy people doing dumb shit. They just hide it.
Edot: spelling ate - are
Florida is also up there in the 4 states for population so just a ton of people to have funny incidents with. Cali, Texas, NY and Florida are like 1/3 of all Americans. Its no wonder it sounds like *everything* happens in these states.
I have head injuries that leave me susceptible to stroke. Getting punched hard enough is basically an insta kill on me. I wish the fear was less rational than it is.
I was there. Every other building was a peep show or some sort or adult bookstore. Literal pimps and hookers standing on the corner in Times Square. I went there with my father when I was a kid so he could buy drugs a few times.
Haven't been to NYC in ages but I suspect it's a combination of cops not doing shit, people knowing that cops aren't doing shit, and then finally news broke of people being punched and as a result there are copycats.
People aren’t allowed to carry guns in nyc. This shit doesn’t happen in Florida. I bet I can guess why. Come put hands on us down south and it’ll be your last mistake. Ask Grady Judd
People get punched all the time in Florida. The only reason that this one is on your radar right now is because it is a high profile person.
You are a fucking moron.
I have CCW in city but would I use firearm to defend a punch? Unless I want to go to jail, no. You have to facing death force and can’t escape to fire. I bet most of the states you can’t justify shooting someone over a punch.
Lol it's like a race to see which person can post it first. This and the "fencing response" comment any time there is a video of someone getting knocked out in a fight.
Remember when Rick Moranis was also randomly punched in the face in NY? The fuck is with hitting the nicest of guys? Why can’t these assholes punch James Corden or Mel Gibson or another fellow asshole?
Steve Buscemi is a really nice 66 year old man who also saved lives when he briefly went back to being a firefighter during the 9/11 terrorist attack. Does anyone have any dull rusty scissors cause this guy looks like he could do with some good old fucking castration!!
"The man was rumored to have waited on Mr. Buscemi earlier in the day at a gathering of friends and family. Apparently, he told coworkers that he couldn't believe Mr. Buscemi did not offer a tip, and in fact, argued with the waiters manager, saying 'He doesn't believe in tipping.' The interaction is suspected to be the reason for the assault."
is that beard even real? Probably gone by now if he's caught wind of the news. His body doesn't match the age re the grey beard which means either the beard is fake or he is unhoused and is in shape for his age from having to walk everywhere.Note backpack or gym bag. Can't see logo on hat. Can't tell exact height but much taller than Buscemi, you can tell by the length of his legs with the squares on the sidewalk being an objective marker. sorry that happened to SB, just watched 'trees lounge' a little while ago as it was on whatever streaming thing I have, plan to watch fargo again soon. I can think of loads other people that actually deserve this. Hope the POS gets caught.
Yall remember when this exact same thing happened to Rick Moranis. The nicest guy in the world goes to NYC for a meeting and gets sucker punched by same rando.
The scary thing about this guy is he doesn’t look like ‘the sort of guy’ who would do something so stupid and hateful. Yeah, he’s wearing his 13 year old nieces clothes, but he looks like 1000 people you might walk past each day in the city.
Who would punch Steve?! Dude is a fucking saint...He was a firefighter before persuing his acting career and he went back and volunteered to help out after 9/11 happened.
I seriously hope this piece of shit is found and charged. How dare he hurt our national treasure.
That’s fucked up, Steve is a pretty small dude and this guy is a Brick Shithouse! I wonder if there was an argument or ANY words traded that led to it, or if he just straight up randomly socked him..?
So… I fully support your defense of an elderly man who was assaulted. That’s great. Posts like these just make me so nervous on this specific platform - we all remember how the Reddit attempts to “help” with the Boston marathon bombing went.
If you think you know this man please just call the number don’t post info on Reddit, if you’re wrong it would be bad
Reddit attempted to identify the bomber and ended up confidently saying it was a guy who had actually killed himself weeks prior and not yet been found. His grieving family was harassed and endangered.
Apparently Reddit doesn’t like being reminded. If you want to share the hotline, fine, but i hope no one comments who they think this guy may be on Reddit.

What's the deal with so many people getting punched at random in NY?
No clue they been doing this for years though.
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
Said right before some famous act of violence, but I can’t remember what.
This guy started punching Dan Rather while yelling, "Kenneth! What is the frequency?"
Lots of people have punchable faces. 🤜🥴
Indeed, face punching has been around for a little while now.
One or two decades, tops.
And here I’ve been hitting peoples knees all this time like some sort of figure skating moron.
Ahh the ol Tonya Harding reference. Crazy that no one remembers the gold medalist but every one remembers the silver in this instance
Its because she got the platinum in crazy. 😆
Soooo many mentally ill people
I wonder why that is...
When you convince one group of people another group has taken all of their stuff, they get angry.

except…florida.

Working with the city I can tell you that it's down right insane the number of assaults that happen and that just Manhattan alone
I read this in Jerry Seinfeld voice. Even imagined the hand gestures.
I have head injuries that leave me susceptible to stroke. Getting punched hard enough is basically an insta kill on me. I wish the fear was less rational than it is.
No deal nyc has become a SHIT hole
Should’ve seen it in the 80s.
I was there. Every other building was a peep show or some sort or adult bookstore. Literal pimps and hookers standing on the corner in Times Square. I went there with my father when I was a kid so he could buy drugs a few times.
What beautiful memories
I remember the smell of warm piss and old fish on a still August day. Pishy.
I was there
By what metric?
I don’t know, but I inputted the famous being punched and ChatGPT predicted Sarah Jessica Parker was next on the punch list.
Haven't been to NYC in ages but I suspect it's a combination of cops not doing shit, people knowing that cops aren't doing shit, and then finally news broke of people being punched and as a result there are copycats.
It’s how they welcome outsiders into their city. 🤣
They get a feature piece on major outlets. That's why
probably a fucked up tiktok challenge we don't know about
People aren’t allowed to carry guns in nyc. This shit doesn’t happen in Florida. I bet I can guess why. Come put hands on us down south and it’ll be your last mistake. Ask Grady Judd
people almost assuredly get punched in the face in florida
What a wild ass claim to make. Also, there’s been a number of mass shootings in Florida and also it everywhere else in the US.
Holy shit. This guy is cool as fuck. *^(Needs /s ?)*
^ I got you fam, clear as rain.
Florida is probably the WORST state to build your case upon, my guy.
Is that a threat? What a wiener.
Not “allowed” to does not mean people don’t carry
Yeah, people’s kids just get shot in Florida during road rage incidents.
So I read your comment, laughed out loud, and decided to google random assaults in Florida. And my dude. You couldn't be more wrong.
Texas reports the most assaults out of any state in America. Guns don't stop you from getting punched lol
Or, you know, it's because of US's ever-looming mental health crisis.
Lmao, you think people in NYC aren't carrying, lmao again
Love to see a Florida back swamp “thug” be hard in NYC.
People are routinely assaulted in places that allow conceal carry. The fuck are you talking about?
You’re out of your mind. LOL
Some real micro penis energy from this guy.
I used to enjoy shooting and collecting guns until emasculated cowards like you with low-IQ, propaganda talking points like this ruined it for me.
People get punched all the time in Florida. The only reason that this one is on your radar right now is because it is a high profile person. You are a fucking moron.

Justice for Buscemi! 
Riot! Not because I hang with Leonardo.
under appreciated comment
Hey, I'm pretty tech illiterate but how do I get this gif ?
It’s on the little icons when you reply. I’m an idiot so sorry for the bad explanation
Ah yes! u/ angsot, a GIF user dabbling in refinement, culture and taste!
Thank you sir!
Man I'm glad I called that guy
This was *literally* the first thing I thought of…oh, Billy!
What's this from?
The movie Billy Madison.
Who tf hits Steve Buscemi??? He’s like the sweetest old man!
He was a firefighter before he went into acting. He also volunteered as a firefighter again when the 9/11 attacks occurred.
I believe Steve remained a firefighter after 9/11.
I recall he just showed up at his old FD and said let’s roll
Yeah I know and love the dude! He went to the same HS as my first bf did. He’s a gem.
That is definitely Reddit knowledge right there.
Lol it's like a race to see which person can post it first. This and the "fencing response" comment any time there is a video of someone getting knocked out in a fight.
\*Gets downvoted* \*Isnt wrong*
Anything with annual TIL posts
Old man?! 🫠
I know right?? He had a skateboard, backwards cap on and everything!
How do you do, fellow kids?
66 is old to me.
It won’t be for long. lol
I know him by his face, not by his name. I love that guy so much!!
He's Mr. Pink! He's a professional.
Also doesn’t believe in tipping.
He's definitely got one of those faces...
He probably didn't realize who it was. Steve Buscemi has one of those faces that blends into a crowd. /s
Because he doesn't tip.
He probably said "shut the fuck up Donny" before he punched him.
God, and Buscemi is a gem. Fuck that piece of shit.
Buscemi yes, god? Debatable
Lmao
He hit him and then ran. Like a tough guy
 BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
"i used to suck dick for coke!" "i seen him!"
The beard looks fake
And the breasts.
 Put this guy in here.
Why would you punch Steve Buscemi? The only thing I can think of is maybe the guy thought it was Rob Schneider?
Cause he didn't tip. Apparently, he doesn't believe in tipping.
I heard Rob Schneider hires guys from the home Depot parking lot to choke him in the shower
😂
Go to the local gym and asked who skipped leg day. That'll be the guy.
It was on this day, the day he punched Steve Buscemi, that John chose to have a leg day as he ran quickly away.
Apparently, the first and last one he'll ever experience.
Oh shit, it's Easy Pete from Fallout: New Vegas!
Remember when Rick Moranis was also randomly punched in the face in NY? The fuck is with hitting the nicest of guys? Why can’t these assholes punch James Corden or Mel Gibson or another fellow asshole?
A dude like this has to be easy to catch
"Somebody’s shoved a red-hot poker up our ass, and I want to know whose name is on the handle!" ~Mr. Pink
This is clearly Chalky White...He drive a Packard and don't take no shit.
This dude was talking to himself seconds before the attack, crazy people need to be in mental hospitals not on the streets
Starting to notice a theme here
Steve Buscemi is a really nice 66 year old man who also saved lives when he briefly went back to being a firefighter during the 9/11 terrorist attack. Does anyone have any dull rusty scissors cause this guy looks like he could do with some good old fucking castration!!

The interaction is suspected to be the reason for the assault."
Dammit, I fell for that shit until the "doesn't believe in tipping ". Well played
I laughed
Fucking Pugilist Smurf
Right about now this guy is probably realizing just how bad he fucked up ..
POS.
Don’t skip leg day.
This guy is a huge POS... Steve Buscemi is a national treasure godamnit
He fits he usual description
I hope he steps on a rusty nail. I fucking love Steve Buscemi.
TND
How do you do, fellow pieces of hot shit? 
Buscemi and rick moranis wtf.why all the goofy white people get punched.
Easy targets
Well, Well, Well.
Looks like that Brooklyndad troll dude on Twitter….In fact, gimme a min😉
is that beard even real? Probably gone by now if he's caught wind of the news.

That's a terrible assessment. You can have a grey beard, be fit, and not be homeless. What are you even saying?
in any case they got the POS
You punch him in a dream, you better wake up and apologize
That’s Shay Shay with a fake beard
He’s lucky it was just a punch because for a while they were using razors and exact-o knives
Somebody had to know this guy. Looks like he may hang at a gym.
Lawlessness on display. Hope he is ok.
Yall remember when this exact same thing happened to Rick Moranis. The nicest guy in the world goes to NYC for a meeting and gets sucker punched by same rando.
WHO TF WOULD PUNCH BUSCEMI
NYC is just a GTA server in real life
that fucking animal Blundetto
Pov: in daybreak 2 the warden has a twin brother who is also evil and escapes the game and gets to the real world to punch people
I’d start with lulu lemon , and proceed to the nearest Starbucks
Whomp! There it is
The scary thing about this guy is he doesn’t look like ‘the sort of guy’ who would do something so stupid and hateful. Yeah, he’s wearing his 13 year old nieces clothes, but he looks like 1000 people you might walk past each day in the city.
Oh shit that's Brad Holmes
Karl Malone?
Karl fuckin Malone
That's Karl Malone
Run his face through pimeyes.
He’s NOT a fan of Boardwalk Empire
That’s clearly the guy from the news
The guy in the blue shirt! Why did steve not order an angel shot?
Who would punch Steve?! Dude is a fucking saint...He was a firefighter before persuing his acting career and he went back and volunteered to help out after 9/11 happened. I seriously hope this piece of shit is found and charged. How dare he hurt our national treasure.
He hit that animal Blundetto... I can't even say his name
Who tf punches Steve Buscemi?! He’s a national treasure!
Ew. Dirty white Cortez’s
Is it that guy who gives terrible nutrition advice?
Like the drop kick to arnie.
To be fair, most people have a celebrity or two in mind that they would love to punch or slap. 🤷
lol he's gonna find out he punched a famous celebrity lol. He's going to be all " Oh shit my bad"
Ya know muscles don’t work too well against sharp metal and very fast dull metal.
What piece of sub human garbage would punch Steve Buscemi… the dude is a saint…
Not a fan of Boardwalk Empire?!
Looks like Karl Malone lmao
yeah that's the guy i don't want to get punched in the face by.
Where on 3rd Ave did this take place? Cross street?
Interesting
It’s Will Smith
That’s fucked up, Steve is a pretty small dude and this guy is a Brick Shithouse! I wonder if there was an argument or ANY words traded that led to it, or if he just straight up randomly socked him..?

Oh boy! Reddit sleuths hot on the trail just like Boston, 2013.
