BUCK: This is Buck here in NYC, and I just saw this story, and it’s a reminder of what we’re dealing with here and in so many cities across the country. A Columbia graduate student, 29 years old, critically injured after being hit in the back of the head on the subway on the L train in an entirely unprovoked attack. Just someone decided to hit him probably with an object — a metal pipe or something, just hit him in the head — and now he has slipped into a coma and has machines that are keeping him breathing and keeping him going.
Twenty-nine years old, an aspiring actor on the L train, a train I’ve been on — I don’t know — dozens, if not hundreds of times in recent years. And this is just a reminder, folks. We’re gonna find out who wants to think about this right now and place a bet that we’re gonna find out that whoever attacked him, based on the early story here, has been arrested I’m sure many times, known to law enforcement, known to be a violent criminal, known to be a problem, in and out of the system.
You know, five, 10, 15 arrests prior to this — and the prosecutors are gonna look at this and they’re gonna try to find a way to make it seem like they’re coming down on the attacker. But they’re, I’m sure, going to give a relatively light sentence nonetheless. Until this changes, the cities don’t get safer. Until we lock up criminals, this does not improve. Sorry if that upsets Democrats. It is the truth, and we have to stick to, as we always will, the truth here on this show.
