BofA VP killed in random NYC stabbing

Erin Piacenti was stabbed in the abdomen randomly by some NYC goblin. Police later killed the lady. Erin was only 32, just had a baby 5-months prior and died on her first day back from maternity leave.

What a senseless killing. Rest in peace, Erin Piacenti.

What a conundrum. Women want to be upset because she's a career woman and a mother, but now they can't bring themselves to it because she's an employee of an 'evil' corporate company.

Where do you guys come up with this shit man

I saw this the other day and never once thought about politics, protesting, etc.. until seeing this thread 

 
Controversial

Some really ghoulish comments in here. You guys above are losers. 

I feel terrible for the woman and her family. 

...but is it REPE?

we are just tired of people shitting on the police and caring so much about the rights of criminals and the mentally insane

What the fuck are you talking about? 

Touch grass

...but is it REPE?
 
Funniest

Why are you talking about this? Racist fascist! I bet you didn't know MOST people in NYC do NOT get stabbed to death by a killer torta on their way to work! Checkmate.

/s

In all seriousness, heart goes out to her newborn and husband. Terrible tragedy. Doubt we see anything done to address it. It seems like just attacking white collar workers on their way to/from work in that shitty city is tolerated now.

Poor woman, that sucks. NYC really is devolving into a 3rd world cesspool -- this was even prior to Mamdani, just wait until he's done with the city

 

I'd rather not make things political, either. The reality is, everything is political. Always has been. Ignoring it might help you feel good but it's actually the opposite of 'being a decent human'. The indifference of good men and women is another kind of evil.

It's nice that a lot of you are not terminally online enough to see these things, but they are happening. Since a higher-profile person than just random internet weirdos decided to comment on it (and make it about Israel).
"Lexi Alexander, a Palestinian-American director, shared news of the murder alongside a meme of Batman staring up at a bat signal with the face of Luigi Mangione, who murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Ms. Alexander explained that she advocates a boycott of Bank of America. Apparently the bank had issued a “buy” recommendation for banks in Israel, whose economic performance has surpassed expectations." (WSJ EB)

“Israel doesn’t care about the woman who got killed, they care about the positive rating BofA gave them in the middle of a genocide. There is huge money at stake,” (L Alexander's X account)

Anyway, I'm going to go read some 10ks, have a nice day.

Reports said tasers were deployed twice and neither worked. When she made an advance at them they shot her. No one is going to take a chance on getting stabbed.

Maybe I am naive, but why can't you shoot someone in the hand/arm to disarm them, or their leg to immobilize them? I don't feel bad because she killed someone but at the same time...really?

 

I don't care about the stabber here, but the NYPD does have a questionable history of cross fire in crowded places. I'm  surprised they didn't end up shooting each other because they circled around her and were absolutely pointing guns at each other. Also, Times Square is always a risky place to discharge a weapon from a bystander perspective. All to say I'm also surprised that in the 4 minutes they stood there talking to her, that no one hit this overweight 5 foot 4 inch 49 year old woman from behind and tossed her to the ground.

 

Probably the best advice some random person told me on 5th Street while walking around as a tourist was when one of these street crazies approach you to keep walking, don’t look at them, and don’t talk to them. 

About two days later, I was walking with friends late at night near Penn Station and we had to walk around a big, intimidating guy talking to himself.  He started following us, particularly was interested in me, saying he was going to stab me in the neck.  Anyways, I kept thinking about what that guy said and mentally bracing for some physical violence, and thankfully walked away without incident. 

Just want to rely the advice.  I love NYC. But when you’re in a situation like that, try to avoid rather than confront. 

I don’t know the facts around this woman’s stabbing.  But that advice served me well my one time. 

Have compassion as well as ambition and you’ll go far in life. I am interested in digital immortality. Check out my blog at digitalimmortality.com
 

So your advice is to do nothing, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. 

Really riveting stuff here, right up with the rest of your comments.

This is just pathetic...

The murder of this woman is tragic. However, To keep it in context it should be noted that the number of NYC murders for the first nine months of this year are on track to come in at the lowest number in NYC history (source: NYPD CompStat 2.0). While that doesn’t lessen the tragedy of this poor woman’s murder one iota, it should be noted that NYC is the safest large city in the US.
