Ryan Carson's killing 'isn’t by coincidence'
Internet users took to X (formerly Twitter) to question the horrifying footage. One X user noted, "Think deep this isn’t random and isn’t by coincidence very planned will see soon …."
A second user claimed, "This doesn't seem right to me. USUALLY, if someone is breaking into a car, it's for a reason and they must really want it. They're focused on getting in and getting out. That's not what this guy did. He made noise and actions that would shock ANYONE, on purpose, to use it as a distraction, then beamed attention to the victim IMMEDIATELY. This stinks guys."
"Dude got murdered by a guy half his size without fighting back. This might be the most brutal lesson for liberals in the history of the internet," said a third user.
Another user blamed New York laws and wrote, "With the way New York's laws are, if the suspect is caught, he might be out on the street within a few days."
"OMG. That’s horrific!!" exclaimed another user.
One user listed further tips to stay safe, "3. Have basic street knowledge 4. Learn how to fight 5. Walk away from sketchy people not toward them R.I.P"
