One of the people arrested in a string or random attacks where women have been punched in the face on city streets is named Skiboky. Rhymes with both kooky and spooky. Skiboky's social media feed is the psychosocial version of a clogged dispose-all. A plethora of random bits and pieces are in there, partially ground up and full of bacteria. I'm sure it will all be taken down eventually. I'm looking through the shorts on his YouTube feed while I still can. Because Skiboky's the poster child of how nothing makes sense in America. His videos are some extreme brain diarrhea of racism and sexism, overlaid with angry politics and delusions of grandeur. The only surprise about him being charged with assaulting a random woman is that it took this long. This random face-punching situation, which started in New York and has now moved to Chicago, is a natural extension of how much everybody has hated Karen for the last five years or so. My life changed noticeably once that meme took off. People behaved differently toward me in public. I started speaking only when spoken to. It's been fashionable to openly hate white women for a while. I'm surprised it took this long to boil over. For example, in the above video, titled "the white man," Skiboky obviously has a bone to pick with the white MAN. And yet the person he's accused of randomly smacking in the face unprovoked is clearly a woman, and not a scary one either. Funny how that works, how often the hate mail for Kevin gets delivered to Karen. And of course, THIS! LOL All his rage at the white man leads him directly to... TRUMP, current leader of the Confederate party. Weird how the snake always eventually eats its tail, how the haters somehow all end up together at the end of the day. That's the way the bowl swirls when you push the handle (multiple times if you're Trump).
.I tried to embed a number of Skiboky's shorts, and for whatever reason they all show up as "private" when I do that. But they aren't private. There are many clips of Skiboky inserting himself into the lives of ordinary New Yorkers of every race and gender, in many obnoxious and frightening ways. The fact that he posted some of these at all speaks to his terrifying mental state. Skiboky spends a lot of time freaking women out on the train, acting strange with law enforcement, and ranting about Marcus Garvey. If you scroll through Skiboky's feed, ask yourself how often someone came close to getting harmed.
"NYPD said there were seven incidents of women being punched In Manhattan. However, police do not believe any of the attacks are related" See, the attacks aren't "related," in that no, they're not coordinated. The people who are doing it don't know each other or whatever. It's just where we're at as a community now. This is where our margins have frayed to. This is where our Overton Window has shifted to, the new normal.
