But if someone tried to stop him they'd have been tied up in court proceedings for months.

Remember kids this is a city where innocent citizens are not allowed any means of self protection. Not even friggin pepper spray.

To all the non New Yorkers. Please do NOT come to visit New York City & surrounding areas. There is a chance you might NOT make it home to see your family & friends.

Alvin Bragg is the reason why no one helped this innocent lady. Everyone is afraid of having their life ruined for helping fellow citizens.

I hate how these always sound like an awards ceremony with everyone praising each other. A woman died a horific death. Where were her heroes?

[FrancescaLD]

A person just died of a violent unprovoked death in NY subway, the police is spending majority of the time talking about how great their system works. If I have to hear them say "See something say something" one more time...

[ajulian]

This is the most violent thing I've heard from New York City. New York City needs to stop letting criminals walk out on crimes.

[kajinsautumn]

I hope those teens that identified the "poor migrant" and contacted the police don't get charged by Bragg for "racial

[awwcrickets]

The real question is will he be charged as a terrorist

[savageinstitute]

She was literally burned to death in public and you are patting yourself on the back for how long?

[BudinVegas]

Crime is NOT down, prosecution is down, release is high, probation is 99%.
NYC subway is macabre. A constant horror and dangerous place.

[WhiteChocolate]

Wake up Democrats! This is what you're defending and aiding

If that poor woman would have survided, Alvin Bragg would have probably prosecuted her for being a fire hazard for wearing flammable clothes.

"Guatemalan illegal arrested in the killing of a woman set on fire on NYC subway"
There, I fixed your headline.

[MrRdb]

They shouldn't be praising anyone. No one helped this women!

[CharlesCurran-mp]

Where’s Danial Penny? Oh that’s right, he’ll never help anyone ever again and neither will anyone else. Thanks Bragg, I bet you let this one out 42 times too.

[twinklemoon]

She was asleep when this coward saw an opportunity to do that. I don't care where you are, don't ever fall asleep anywhere and carry something to protect yourself and always stay alert

[brombromsmuva]

Let's see if they charge this person woth terrorism. This was a so evil and he could have cause harm to many others.

[Ninnjette-]

Let me guess he did that after he got kicked out, of the five star hotels taxpayers are paying for..

[heathermunoz]

I'm horrified, sick and full of anger. I'm gonna leave it at that.
