    First Rick Moranis, and now Steve Buscemi? This is so sad.

    I wonder how often this must happen to non-famous people that don’t make the news too.

      Rick Moranis hasn’t been famous in decades. And given that he was attacked from behind, its unlikely the attacker knew him. Just some guy lashing out randomly for who even knows what reason.

      I wonder how often this must happen to non-famous people that don’t make the news too.

      NYC has one of the highest police budget’s per-capita in the world and Manhattan is one of the most densely surveilled places in the country. I have to assume if cops are too busy crushing candy on their phones, this sort of thing is regular and they don’t give a shit.

          Well the New York City metropolitan area has nearly the same population as the nation of Australia so it’s not entirely surprising. NYC alone is approaching 1/3rd of Australia’s population and the US is damn near a police state so yeah
