They say a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. It might be better to say punched in the face, as keeps happening to women in New York City. A typical example:

[A] 33-year-old woman was walking along the bustling street near Union Square on March 20 when the attacker approached from behind.

The man, who has not been identified, slugged the woman in the face and fled north on Park Avenue, according to the police.

Punching women in the face is all the rage in the Big Apple:

NYPD Chief of Detectives said on Wednesday that a total of 12 similar incidents had occurred over the past two weeks, with six suspects arrested while others remain at large.

Those arrested are probably already back on the street looking for more victims.

According to Page Six, more than 25 women have revealed on TikTok they were randomly attacked in New York City in the past few months.

The fad has already spawned variations:

A 51-year-old woman suffered burns to the neck and face after a man pressed a lit cigarette on her on West 31st Street.

Ideologies beget consequences, which beget further consequences. Leftism has resulted in the marginalization of the police and the refusal of authorities to incarcerate criminals and the mentally ill, in turn resulting in the current state of affairs in our nation’s largest city.

The growing number of random punching attacks in New York City may be part of a disturbing trend called the knockout game – in which strangers punch random strangers in New York City with the intent of ‘punching them unconscious.’

The knockout game has also been called “polar bear hunting,” reflecting the racial aspect — i.e., victims are attacked for being white, another predictable consequence of the ideology pressed upon us by our ruling class.

At least we can hope that the phenomenon is curing a few New York women of liberalism.
