In a series of incidents that have sparked outrage and concern, Skiboky Stora, a 40-year-old fringe political candidate with previous runs for mayor, governor, and City Council, was arrested for sucker-punching Halley Kate Mcgookin, a TikTok influencer, in New York City, resulting in her getting a hematoma. The attack, which occurred as Mcgookin walked along Seventh Avenue, is part of a troubling pattern of random assaults on women in the city. Reports indicate that Stora, who is from East New York, has been arrested and released three times in the last six months for similar offenses and was charged with assault. Critics argue that these incidents highlight the consequences of permissive policies towards violent criminals, with some pointing to the broader implications of New York Democrats' approach to law enforcement and public safety.
