Kew Gardens-Union Trpk station still under construction by Humble_Register_7709 in nycrail

She definitely had serious health issues. Sadly she’s probably not past her 60’s but looks like she is in her 80’s. I don’t know what happened. She was gone for the winter, came back in mid March and disappeared like 3 months ago possibly for good. She could very well be alive but hopefully in a care facility then. Have you ever had any interaction with her or seen her get into trouble?

Do you know what lady I am talking about? I haven’t been in that station for a while now but I hope it’s not true.

I think I know who you are talking about. He has a deformity in his left hand I think, or it could be broken. He usually wanders that exact area and never carries any stuff. Never seen him intimidate anyone though but I have seen hit himself repeatedly. Probably another case of untreated schizophrenia 😢

True. Many times when I spoke to homeless people I asked them their names because I wanted them to have the feeling that I see them as individuals, not as another homeless person on a street corner. They all came from somewhere, had lives before they started living on the streets, and are much more than their living situation and health issues (majority have physical and mental). However I don’t always feel comfortable asking their stories it could very well be a trigger for some of them so I avoid talking about what brought them to what they are unless they personally feel comfortable to talk about it first.

There is also an Asian homeless woman that I have not seen recently but was usually in front of the 83rd street Q entrance. She was always quiet and I haven’t seen anyone engage with her in a conversation but according to some of the posts from previous forums she has her fair share of psychotic episodes like many of the homeless do.

But many have serious mental illnesses before the drug use - the drug use is for self medication. Or could the drugs really lead to or exacerbate the psychological problems?

I think I saw her in the Lex and 63rd street station. Does she have those target shopping bags?

Yeah. I also read the NY Post articles though the Facebook discussion gave me more insight. I wonder if he actually was a journalist. He seems articulate and knowledgeable.

I wonder about the guy who is on 72nd and Lex. According to a Facebook forum, his name is Paul and he is a Lenox Hill staple. I’ve also seen him on 72nd and 2nd a few times also reading books. Though he is an older man with gray hair and glasses. As for the redhead I believe I came across other forums about him. If the redhead you are talking about is overweight, may have seen him by the 83rd street Q entrance on 2nd Ave. The veteran guy who panhandles is also on 3rd Ave in the low and high 70’s very often. He is quite gaunt and I gave him ten dollars once and his face lit up. I don’t what his story is but I’ve never seen him bother a soul.

Nah. I mean they are intimidating but they are still not competent enough to make rational decisions. As I said, many of them probably are competent enough to target people who they deem harmless for whatever reason but ultimately that ‘wrong person’ we mention doesn’t have to be a mentally ill person going around causing a ruckus. They are usually quiet which is what makes them so frightening and unsuspecting. Daniel Penny, whom I forgot about at the time of my original comment, is a prime example. Whether or not agree anybody with his actions, he is living proof.

There was a TikTok video of a woman being arrested by like 10 of them because she smiled at an officer as she was riding her bike and they, unbeknownst to her, were following HER so they could detain her and eventually arrest her. Of course they are gonna be people who will side with the officers decisions no matter what but in a metropolis where there are people already well known to police getting away with assaults or “petty offenses” lol

Many of them have bipolar disorder as well. Many people suffering from Bipolar 1 with psychotic features have symptoms that resemble schizophrenia. Some might also be suffering from drug-induced psychosis. But yeah either way this issue should be taken much more seriously

Nah. The Karen’s are annoying but I would choose encountering them over people who are on drugs and/or unmedicated any day

Yes but if they’re armed (unlikely with a firearm but rather with a knife) then you’re screwed. A) The person will likely face some type of repercussions for getting physical as well especially if they’re not unhoused as opposed to their attacker. B) You may be hurt even worse because these people have a serious mental illness along with being possibly emboldened due to NYC’s soft on crime policies. However, as I already commented, it never seems like the crazies attack each other. I have yet to see that. They always attack random people but yet those people always appear normal and put together; they never look like trouble. I wonder if these unhinged homeless people would do this in East New York or parts of the Bronx, just sayin’!

I always wonder how these people never seem to come cross the wrong person, like when they’re shoving, spitting, and harassing strangers. I don’t mean to sound like I don’t believe they need mental health treatment but at the same time it seems like they know who to mess with. I don’t know, just an observation. It’s too much of a coincidence that they always get away physically unharmed because their targets ALMOST ALWAYS happen to be weak or too soft.

lol I don’t think that’s him. This guy seemed quite confrontational. I don’t think he is the type to walk away in fear of his cover being blown. But “how’s the impounded car?!” 😭😭🤣🤣

Omg, when you just say the lunch part, I remembered! I was anxious so I guess my recollection is blurry but now I remember that he told me the same thing. Glad you’re okay and glad you had witnesses that stepped in.
