《阻挡纽约华埠监狱施工 李荣恩、吕艾玲等十人被捕》（By George.SmithPosted onApril 13, 2022）报道：
纽约市设计和建筑局(Department of Design and Construction)13日早开始华埠城区新监狱外围施工，华埠社区团体「坚尼路以南邻里联盟」(Neighbors United Below Canal，NUBC)组织民众到场抗议示威，NUBC创始人李卓勋、州众议会第65选区州众议员参选人李荣恩(Grace Lee)、前纽约市长参选人杨安泽夫人吕艾玲等十人被捕。
市府施工人员早在6时30分示威人员到场之前，就已开始用吊车在毗邻曼哈顿拘留中心的巴士打街(Baxter St.)方向吊装混凝土围栏；然而，根据市府此前通知，施工应于7时之后才能开始，示威民众遂要求施工人员出示施工许可，但施工方未能拿出；示威人员声称此举违法，李卓勋等十人便手挽手站成一排，高喊「可耻」、「滚出华埠」等口号阻挡施工，随即被捕。
华埠社区监狱项目的预算近17亿元，市府去年11月30日公布该项目拆除作业的1亿2520万元合同由Gramercy Group Inc.承包；李卓勋表示，任何承包商在华埠都不受欢迎，「我们不要承包商的钱来破坏华埠；我们知道亚当斯感染新冠正在康复，我们希望他看到，我们将一直抗争监狱建案，我们希望和他见面，但是他不见我们；这里住的都是低收入的老人，我们在这里是为了老人的安全，我们不信任来华埠建监狱的任何人，亚当斯是白思豪2.0版。」
市议员马泰(Chris Marte)表示，施工方未在施工合同上的施工时间期间施工，是违法行为，「我们需要施工方出示交通局许可、施工许可，但是他们什么也没拿出来，施工已经违法。」
市府原订11日就开始施工，社区人士已经连续示威三天阻止施工；李荣恩表示，「我们每天都会来示威，告诉人们我们不要这座监狱，华埠不能被出卖。」
吕艾玲说，「亚当斯之前承诺不会新建监狱，现在出尔反尔，真可耻；我们必须停止新建监狱，投资社区、投资民众。」
李卓勋、李荣恩、吕艾玲、NUBC联合创始人Howard Huie、民主党65D选区领袖李佩欣、民主党州参议员第26选区的参选人范胜利(Vittoria Fariello)、「社区保护及改善联盟」发起人李翠珊、社区维权人士Irving Lee、Jack Liang、Jillian McMenamin等十人手挽手跪地而坐，手举标语「市长亚当斯停止唐人街摩天监狱」，一旁的警方则播放警示广播，「你们已经占据道路阻挡交通，如果再不离开就将被捕，并且被控妨碍治安。」
十人随即被警方逮捕，被押上警车送往七分局；一直为监狱抗争活动提供法律援助的律师库奇亚(Edward Cuccia)表示，被捕人士将在警局按指模，并且将受到法庭传票，「所有十人都是为了帮助华埠和小意大利社区自愿被捕，他们是我们的英雄，很快将被释放，估计几周以后上庭。」
市议员马泰表示，施工方未在施工合同上的施工时间期间施工，是违法行为。

纽约当局日前宣布，将于2月至中下旬开始为曼哈顿华埠城区监狱进行未来施工准备工程，并拆除现址；6日近百名社区居民、组织在即将被拆除的曼哈顿拘留中心前集会，大喊「居民优先、不要新监狱」，要求在选前与社区共同反城区监狱的市长亚当斯(Eric Adams)，再次与社区站在一起，阻止监狱工程。
市議員馬泰在反監獄集會上講話 Feb 6, 2022
日前市设计和建筑局(Department of Design and Construction，简称DDC)与市长刑事司法办公室(Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice)等单位召开在线记者会，提供曼哈顿城区监狱的最新时程表更新；会上提到将于2月中下旬在曼哈顿拘留中心，进行临时安全信道工程，架设场地围栏，以及艺术品移除等工作，预计将于5月至明年7月进行拆除，新城区监狱则将在2027年建成。
6日集会上，与会者大喊「居民优先、不要新监狱」，除了重申城区监狱若建成后，将会对华埠社区造成环境、治安等影响，抗议者也认为，在动辄好几年的工程，将会使华埠交通进入黑暗期，同时影响小商家生意。
《锤杀3华人 凶嫌免刑责 纽约华社：最黑暗的一天》（世界新闻网 01/28/2022）报道：
布碌仑(布鲁克林)羊头湾海港城锤杀案27日终于开庭宣布量刑结果，凶嫌马汤诺维奇(Arthur Martunovich)因有精神病被免除刑事责任；法官裁决他对社区有危害，将无限期关押在精神病院，每六个月可接受精神评估，若恢复良好仍有重返社会的机会；该结果令死者亲属、华社大失所望，「这是最黑暗的一天」，死者之一潘子密的太太考虑上诉至联邦法院，要求凶嫌永不得归放社区。
造成三名华人死亡的锤杀案，在去年8月进行关键庭审后，量刑日期一再推延，引起华社不满，来自纽约市各区及外州的华人屡次到国王郡的州高等法院前举行示威活动；凶嫌通过视频开庭，庭审全程不超过五分钟，判决结果和之前检辩双方协议的一样，主审法官陈丹尼(Danny Chun)宣判马汤诺维奇因精神病免于刑罚。
但他因对社区构成威胁，将进入戒备森严的精神病院，每六个月将进行一次精神评估，复原的话或有重返社会的可能；连月来的抗议都没能改变结果，该消息对死者家属及华社都是一记重拳，示威者拿着批评地区检察官蒋莎乐(Eric Gonzalez)懒惰不作为的嘲讽漫画，骂他是案件「帮凶」，未为受害者伸张正义。
「谢谢大家一如既往地站出来，我们一直痛心地等待，一路上的奔波求助，组织了那么多社团声援，可惜最终又回到了原点」，潘太太说，每个人都有精神压力，自从家庭发生剧变，她感觉自己都出现精神问题；但凶嫌伤人时是具有辨识能力的，这种杀害三条人命的行为还能不负刑事责任，太愤怒了。
事已至此难以改变结果，但潘太语气中充满失望与无奈，「我们再等六个月吧，再看怎么样，好不好？」；她也透露，打算持续和律师接洽，不排除上诉到联邦法院，归根究底就是不能让凶嫌轻易放出来，「我受过的苦我自己知道，我不希望再次发生在别人身上。」
亚裔维权大联盟总召集人陈善庄说，开庭只有几分钟，简直在作秀，「案子拖延三年多，今天终于有了结果，却是令人痛心、黑暗的一天」；他奉劝亚裔要将此案引以为戒，往后要更加团结互助，遇事要站出来，壮大亚裔的力量，避免悲剧再度发生。
《落轨华女高慧民死后一周 曼哈顿再有人被推下地铁》（世界新闻网 01/23/2022）报道：
曼哈顿地铁站23日早又发生一起民众遭人推下地铁铁轨案，该案距离日前在时报广场发生的华女遭推致死案仅有一周，警方不敢大意，目前正在搜索嫌犯下落。
根据警方消息，23日约早上11时30分，一名61岁受害人在曼哈顿下城富尔顿街(Fulton St.)的A、C线南向月台，遭人推下地铁。
市警发言人表示，所幸当下没有地铁入站，该名受害人得以自行从铁轨爬回月台，仅受到轻伤，随后被送往纽约长老会医院(Presbyterian Hospital)治疗。
警方表示，嫌犯年约20多岁，身穿迷彩夹克；根据最新消息，嫌犯在作案后往南向2、3线地铁方向逃离，警方目前正在现场做地毯式搜索。
该案距离日前于时报广场遭疑有精神疾病嫌犯马秀(Martial Simon)推落地铁，而当场死亡的40岁华女高慧民(Michelle Aylssa Go)案，间隔仅有一周，在该案发生之后，许多民众纷纷表示忧心地铁系统和公共安全。
同时也有不少包括华人及其他维权团体，要求当局解决游民和心理健康问题，希望不要再有更多类似悲剧发生。
《曼哈顿遇袭亚裔模特发声 忧更多高慧民被吞噬》（世界新闻网 01/21/2022）报道：

去年11月在曼哈顿中城先锋广场(Herald Square)地铁站被攻击、抢劫的23岁亚裔女子贝乌(Bew Jirajariyawetch)，在华女高慧民(Michelle Go)被推下铁轨致死后再次发声，抨击纽约市捷运治安乱象，若再置之不理，「将会有更多高慧民被无辜吞噬」。
在泰国出生长大的贝乌去年夏天才搬到纽约，她表示，纽约一直是自己心中的朝圣之地，作为模特的她，这里的任何一种文化都让她心生向往；但在生活仅仅几个月后，就发生了几乎让她「一辈子也不敢再坐地铁的可怕攻击。」
2021年11月23日凌晨4时，贝乌在观看完泰国裔歌手Daboyway的演唱会后乘地铁回家，在站台候车时，遭一非洲裔男子从后勒住脖子，随后拖拽至五米远的楼梯间抢劫。在一分钟的时间内，嫌犯不但触摸贝乌私处，还对其腹部殴打数次；根据她提供的照片，被攻击后她的脸布满伤痕，血流至腿部。
在高慧民遇害案发生后，贝乌说，「我很伤心，我虽然也被打，但我是幸运的那个，我还活着，而她却不是。」她抨击纽约并没有从一次次的攻击案中吸取教训，「这是不应该发生的，我不明白为什么一切都没有改变。」
Asian model ATTACKED on NYC Subway in Manhattan ‘Lucky to be alive’
Dec 15, 2021
Bew Jirajariyawetch just moved to New York City says ‘she’s lucky to be alive’ after being put in chokehold, punched in face and robbed by 4am Manhattan subway mugger, please subscribe to my channel and ring the bell so you never miss a video!
An aspiring model who recently moved from her native Thailand to pursue her dreams in the Big Apple said she is ‘lucky to be alive’ after a brutal beating in the subway by a deranged mugger last month.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Bew Jirajariyawetch, 23, said the horrific 4 am attack after she was coming home from a concert is still a blur when she was grabbed from behind in a chokehold, thrown to the ground, punched in the face and robbed of her purse at the 34th Street Herald Square station on November 22.
In the shocking attack caught on video that captured the out-of-control crime plaguing the city, the mugger – who police have yet to identify – can be seen dragging Jirajariyawetch along the northbound platform servicing the D, F, N and Q lines before throwing her to the ground.
New York City saw a surge in violent assaults on the subway when she was attacked, with a 45 percent increase in the past 28 days as compared to last year. That week, a 141 percent increase was reported for transit crime.
‘There were so many police officers at the subway after the attack but no one was there before. I don’t want anyone else to go through this or be hurt by this person. This can not keep happening.’
A photo taken by the model shortly after the assault shows her face bruised and swollen, with dried blood near her nose and a burst blood vessel in her left eye.
Jirajariyawetch, who moved from Thailand this summer to study at the Global ESL Academy, told DailyMail.com that she was returning to her home in Queens after she went to see Daboyway, a Thai-American rapper, in concert at S.O.B.’s in the West Village when the attack took place.
In the harrowing video, the mugger holds her down as he punches her in the head four times, sexually assaults her and snatches her purse, before briskly walking away.
Jirajariyawetch can be seen sitting up, dazed, and getting to her feet before the surveillance video cuts off.
She said he took all the money she had on her and her personal identification, but left her iPhone.
New York City Crime Stoppers released a short clip of the cold-hearted thief jumping a subway turnstile before the attack, and are offering a reward of $3,500 for information that leads to his arrest.
‘There are so many cameras in the subway station to track but they don’t seem to be working,’ Jirajariyawetch told DailyMail.com.
This week, Jirajariyawetch said she finally built up the courage to return to the subway line where she was attacked as she refuses to give up on a modeling career.
Moving to the New York City was a ‘natural decision’ for her, according to her attorney Eric Parnes.
‘Bew does not want this negative experience to discourage her thoughts on New York,’ Parnes told DailyMail.com.
‘Bew has been unquestionably traumatized. She has been struggling with a lack of appetite and persistent nightmares,’ he said.
‘Living in a foreign country without family is already a difficult situation let alone coping with such an unwarranted act of violence. However, Bew finds strength in speaking out about this and continues to push forward with her aspirations.’
He shared her story to ‘put pressure on the NYPD,’ ‘get more tips leading to an arrest’ and to ‘put more focus on this disturbing trend of violence.’
The day before Jirajariyawetch was robbed, soccer player Akeem Loney, 32, was fatally stabbed in the neck at Penn Station at around 12.15am. Loney, who was homeless, had been lying down or napping on one of the subway seats when was attacked.
Police are also hunting for a man who allegedly threatened to kill a woman on the subway with two wooden spikes after making ‘anti-white statements’ late last month.
The suspect wielded the large shivs at a 46-year-old woman near the 59th Street subway station in Manhattan, cops said.
The man, who has an ankh hieroglyphic symbol on his face, was traveling on the subway at 7.20am on the 4 train on November 29.
贝乌律师帕内斯(Eric Parnes)也将矛头指向了捷运系统，称当局「忽视」了当事人遭受的攻击以及她想阻止类似案件再次发生的警告。
帕内斯表示，不合理的政策助长了这种现象，因为这些政策没有落实法律和秩序的基本概念，而把罪犯视做受害者对待。
贝乌的案件目前尚未逮捕任何人，但帕内斯称市警的一名探员和地方检察官办公室最近就这个案子进行了对话。
贝乌在回忆案发经过时说，「我只庆幸自己还活着」，若再无人关心捷运治安，将会有更多无辜生命受到牵连；帕内斯也称，不排除会对市府的「疏忽」发起诉讼。
本周开始，高慧民案引发了社会各界的关注，东岸和西岸接连举行悼念活动；纽约市长亚当斯(Eric Adams)因此受到抨击，他此前将人们对地铁攻击的担忧斥为「对恐惧的感知」。
市警最新统计数据显示，与2021年同期相比，2022年开始的两周中，捷运犯罪飙升了65.5%，共发生了96起案件，而去年的纪录是58起。

What we know about Times Square subway shove victim Michelle Go
By Ben Kesslen, Steven Vago and Larry Celona
01/17/2022
Michelle Go was the woman who was fatally shoved onto the subway tracks by a homeless man at Time Square on Jan. 15, 2022. LinkedIn
The straphanger randomly pushed to her death by an alleged unhinged vagrant was a senior manager at the top consulting firm Deloitte — and volunteered as an advocate for the homeless.
Michelle Go — an MBA graduate of NYU’s prestigious Stern School of Business — lived on the Upper West Side and worked for Deloitte in strategy and operations and mergers and acquisitions, according to her LinkedIn Page.
But the “wonderful,’’ “kind’’ 40-year-old woman was also known for her volunteerism over the past decade with the New York Junior League, where she helped those struggling to get and stay on their feet, including the homeless.
“Michelle’s focus populations were seniors, recovering homeless, immigrants, and under resourced and academically struggling elementary and middle school kids and their parents,’’ a Junior League rep told The Post in an e-mail Sunday.
Go worked on one committee with “the goal of empowering adults and young adults on the path to independent success,’’ the league said.
“She helped them prepare to enter or re-enter the workforce by developing their professional skills of resume writing, interviewing, and networking, and by making sound decisions in matters of personal finance.”
Go was waiting on the southbound platform at the Times Square subway station Saturday morning when crazed homeless ex-con Simon Martial allegedly shoved her onto the train tracks and into the path of an oncoming R train, police said.
Go worked as a senior manager at Deloitte and also volunteered for many years at the New York Junior League.
The victim was mourned by colleagues and neighbors Sunday as friendly, sweet and smart.
Tamas Erdos, who graduated from NYU’s Stern School of Business with Go in 2010, said he’s “shocked” by her sudden death.
He said Go was a “key member” of a group project they had worked on together while in school, where she exemplified leadership skills, de-escalating conflicts between group members.
“She was really reliable, dependable and fun. She was a super person to have on the team,” Erdos told The Post on Sunday.
Erdos described her as “a natural leader among a bunch of men… She was one of the guys also but mediated some conflicts.”
“She was so vibrant and full of energy and she was really interested in finance,” he said.
“Michelle interviewed me at Deloitte and gave me a chance to go to the next round. Shortly after I started my job we reconnected — she was so kind and intelligent,” a Deloitte colleague, Steffany Franco, wrote on Facebook. “Life is so unpredictable and fragile, taking the time to reflect and process this tragedy is incredibly hard.”

One of Go’s neighbors called her “wonderful.
“She was really smart,” the resident added.
Go previously worked at Barclays Capital and Citi. She had a Bachelor’s degree from University of California, Los Angeles.
The Junior League, a nonprofit focused on the well-being on women, children, and families, said in a statement that it was “ greatly saddened to learn of the death of Michelle Go under such senseless and tragic circumstances.

“We call upon the city’s leadership to urgently address the lack of mental-health and other supports for underserved communities,” the organization said.
The victim’s family is currently flying from California to identify her body, law-enforcement sources said.
Go was remembered for her kindness by the doorman at the Upper West Side building where she had lived for the past year and a half.
“She’s was a nice lady,” the doorman who didn’t give his name said. “It’s tragic.”
Another man who works at her building and declined to give his name said he’s now afraid to take the subway.
“I’m always taking the subway, I’m always going there, so I’m scared now. It’s very sad,” he said. “She was always coming and saying, ‘How are you?’ and saying, ‘Hi.’ “
Martial, an ex-con who was convicted of robbery, claimed that he is “God” when he asked about the crime.

On NextDoor, someone said Go was an active member of the local “buy nothing” group, a bartering and gifting online community that encourages recycling. The posting said group members were “devastated” over her death.
Go was Chinese-American, but police say there is no indication that her death was a hate crime and believe she was chosen at random. Suspect Martial, 61, admitted to the killing and claimed he was “God” when reporters questioned him during his perp walk.
