A 48-year-old with a history of 56 arrests has been charged in relation to a hammer attack on a Manhattan subway platform, which police are calling a hate crime. At arraignment, the suspect was additionally slapped with charges for stealing ice cream and beating up a store employee.
Chris Jeffers, who is male and identifies as a woman, is facing charges of Assault, Aggravated Harassment and Menacing, each of which has been enhanced as a hate crime, in addition to a Weapon Possession charge after a March 8 incident left a man with a deep cut to the head.
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
