18-year-old suspect charged with murder in deadly random stabbing of beloved NYC activist: sources
The 18-year-old man suspected in the grisly random stabbing death of a beloved Brooklyn social justice activist was arrested and charged Thursday as authorities recovered a knife and the sweatshirt the perp is believed to have worn during the early-morning slaying, cops said.The person of interest, identified as Brian Dowling, was pictured with tears running down his face as officers escorted him from the 81st Precinct Thursday afternoon.
The teen – who had handcuffs around his wrists and ankles – was still wearing the same white t-shirt and stripped shorts he had a few hours earlier, when the was arrested while cops executed a search warrant at a home on Lafayette Avenue near Malcolm X Boulevard — just down the block from where Ryan Carson, 32, was knifed to death early Monday as his girlfriend watched.
Dowling is charged with second-degree murder and criminal weapons possession, police confirmed.
Dowling did not make any statements to cops after his arrest, and has already enlisted a lawyer, sources said.
Cops were searching for clothing allegedly worn by the suspect during the caught-on-camera attack — and found both Dowling and his dark Champion sweatshirt, seen in the video of the attack, inside the apartment, the sources said.
Cops also found a knife in the home, and will be working to determine if it was the murder weapon, sources said.
The teen was escorted from the apartment into a squad car by a huddle of officers a video from CBS News showed.
More than a dozen officers descended on the property during the arrest and search, the outlet said.
“Assailant has been caught,” Carson's father, Ken Carson, wrote on Facebook at 11:30 Thursday morning.
“More details will follow,” he added in a follow-up comment.
“I'm on the road…escorting Ryan Home to Massachusetts right now. I wasn't leaving NYC without him.”
Friday, Oct. 6 would have been Carson's 32nd birthday, records indicated.

THEY WANT HIM LOCKED UP
You'll be happy to know that he has been charged with depraved indifference murder aka murder in the 2nd degree, which is a Class A-I felony. A conviction carries an automatic life sentence.
I am happy to know that. Thank you.
Where are all the jail abolitionists now?

Carson slammed his face incredibly hard against the anti-homeless railing on the metal bench, as he attempted to make his getaway.
I wonder if that shocked him into have a moment of clarity, in the final seconds before he died?

as much as those two reddit threads that were linked here pissed me off, I hope some of those absolute smoothskin r-slurs listen to some of the downvoted posts. Especially that dipshit that thought tweaking = injecting heroin on the spot.
If it's fricking 2AM and you see a dude smash a car window 6 cars down from you, do you:
I feel for the guy who got stabbed but for fricks sake this was such a stupid way to go. And at the very least carry a utility knife or literally anything, mace, SOMETHING.

Personally I think total police abolition is a silly and untenable position they only pretend to believe to showboat on twitter, but I'd have a lot more respect for someone who sticks to their guns when it actually costs them personally.
Same as I'd respect a rightoid who still championed the free market even when it's clear that sexy Indian dudes will do his job twice as well and 1,000 times cheaper.
These are very rare though, most people are just special snowflakes with no real ideas.

an 18 year old CHILD was attacked by a large and threatening 32 year old MAN
His brain isn't fully developed, if anything the stabbing was the white Nazi's fault who forced the confrontation by looking at him and triggering his aggression reflex by running away.
Surely this is society's fault or something.
