    This is actually normal and welcome in my view. The guy is totally hammered, but harming nobody. Just taking a piss. Growing up in the NYC area you are used to that sort of thing. Gives the city it's character. It's the unprovoked violence thats need to go away.

    Incorrect. If you are sitting there and the guy starts to piss you have a right to protect yourself from such an assault.

    If you believe someone should have the right to urinate on/in public transport, and you're not just "taking the piss" with me, then you're part of the problem, Overnight.

    I cannot understand how you think this adds - in any way whatsoever - to the character of New York when someone cannot ride on a subway car without seeing that. Not to mention the city worker that has to clean up the animal's urine, or the manner of someone exposing themselves in such way.

    Just another day in NYC... that's a fine revolving door justice system they have there which allows criminals like this out on the streets to shoot some more people.

    Manhunt underway for suspect in 3 NYC shootings: 2 dead
    Sundance Oliver is considered armed and extremely dangerous, according to police

    A manhunt began in New York City Tuesday morning for a suspect accused of shooting three people, killing two of them, in less than 16 hours.

    Sundance Oliver is considered armed and extremely dangerous, according to police. The two people he allegedly murdered were associates of his, while the third victim was an innocent bystander.

    The first shooting occurred around 9:30 a.m. Monday in what began as a robbery at a playground near Bergen Street and Rochester Avenue in Crown Heights, according to police. The man grabbed a woman's phone and jacket from her, and the suspect pulled out a gun and shot her as she attempted to run away.

    The bullet, however, missed the woman, instead striking a 96-year-old man in a wheelchair at a nearby bus stop in the leg, police said. The victim was transported to the hospital, and he is expected to survive.

    Police told NBC 4 that the suspect, who was later identified as Oliver, was known to authorities and that he knows the woman he had allegedly robbed. Police believe this was not a random act of violence.

    Just a few hours after fleeing from the first scene, Oliver shot and killed a man in Lower Manhattan. In this incident, a 21-year-old man was shot multiple times in the chest and leg around 3 p.m. near the Smith Houses on St. James Place.

    Oliver fled that scene as well.

    The victim was taken to a hospital but would succumb to his injuries.

    The third shooting took place around midnight in the Kingsborough Houses in Brooklyn. A woman was shot in the chest and was transported to a hospital, where she died.

    Police told NBC 4 that Oliver has a criminal history involving weapons and robberies.

    No arrests have been made in connection with the shootings.

    Police are still searching for Oliver and the investigation is ongoing

    If someone is pissing in the corner, it is not an assault on you. If you make it one by crossing the stream, then that is on YOU.

    Because you did not grow up there. It comes with the territory. Sorry. That is what I would expect in the subway. I can deal with it. Why can't you?

    I grew up in the NJ/NY area. Spent most my life there, and a good portion of my young adult life riding the Path in from Jersey. So, you're completely wrong about my past and my desire to accept such behavior.
