White Woman Refuses to Press Charges Against Attacker Because He's Black

Added: 2026-05-14

[00:00:00]What's up, ters? This is Tree from treeoflogic.com.

[00:00:03]Welcome to my channel, The Treehouse News, and I want to talk about this particular story. I was looking for something to talk about in reference to making a video and woo, I came across a doozy, folks. So, we have a career criminal in New York City who has a lengthy crime record, okay? Criminal record. He was institutionalized and let out an hour later. He was in front of the New York City Police Department precinct just acting crazy. They arrested him and then put him in an institution, mental institution. The mental institution said, "Oh, he's not crazy." And they released him an hour later. And when they released him later on that day that they released him, he killed an elderly man by just shoving him down uh some concrete steps going down to the subway.

[00:00:59]However, that's not the the shocking part of this story. The shocking part of the story is this same criminal attacked two white women and neither one of them wanted to cooperate with the prosecutor to put him in jail because they didn't want to put a black man in jail. You can't make this up. And I'm saying to myself, oh my god. I also want to talk about the crime statistics that just came out in reference to uh ever since Mandani has been elected, crime went up 300%. We got a lot to talk about, but there's a lot to unpack here. So, let's start with this tweet and then I'm going to show you um no, I think I'm going to read the article and then we'll show you the VOD to the news headline that actually covered this story. So, here we have a tweet here where it says um and this was it's I think this yeah this is to the New York Post article where I'm going to read that in a minute. Uh it says liberal woman who refuses to cooperate with prosecutors after maniac attacked her [clears throat] on a subway weeks before he pushed retired New York City teacher to death. Has regrets. She said, and let me do it in her voice. Uh maybe a part of me was just like I don't want to put another black man in jail.

[00:02:26]WHITE LIBERAL WOMEN.

[00:02:29]I MEAN just white liberal women. That's all you got to sit up here and say.

[00:02:33]White liberal women. Because of her a elderly man is dead because of her. But also let's I don't want to only put it on her. I also want to put it on the mental institution that let him out. In addition to the judge that keep basically going now, now don't go out and commit more crimes. One of the judges is an activist judge and we're going to feature her in a minute. But let me just read briefly this article here. And um go more into the chick who literally decided to let this guy go because she didn't want to seem racist.

[00:03:11]Dumb ass. Anyway, a 23-year-old woman recounted the terrifying subway attack she suffered at the hands of the same madman accused of fatally shove a fatally shoving a retired Big Apple teacher down the flight of stairs hours after being released from a psych ward.

[00:03:32]The horrified victim told the Post she had she and a friend were on a subway in Manhattan on April the 2nd. So that was last month [sighs] when uh Rale Burke approached them and began a conversation. They quickly shut down before frantically trying to switch cars to get away from him. She said the crazed suspect stalked them closely and allegedly, why they say allegedly?

[00:04:04]Because she didn't want to protest against them. um and just yanked her by the back of her head in an attempt to slam her to the ground and boot her friend in the back. Uh he came up he comes up and kicks my friend in the back and basically pushes him through the trans transition of the cars. The woman said in the on the phone interview Friday night, quote, "My friend freaks out, runs away, and then he grabs me by the head and pushes my head down, trying like maybe throw me on the ground or something, but I didn't. I resisted as much as I could. I didn't fall, and then I immediately opened the car and then ran towards my friend." The train then luckily stopped at the West Fourth Street, Washington Square station, and Green Witch Village. the victim said, prompting the alarm pair alarmed pair to bolt off in a panic. As they made their frantic escape, she said the 32-year-old serial offender was creepily following them. They wasn't even the end of it. We get off the West Fourth Street and then we turn around and we see the follow. He's following us. That's when I was like, "Oh, like this is scary." Like, why is he following us?

[00:05:31]Because he likes to attack white people.

[00:05:35]Duh.

[00:05:38]The woman recalled calling the perp a buff guy. Lord have mercy.

[00:05:45]We started running a little bit, but then thank God the cops were right there because I mean we kept thinking about imagine that there were no cops. Oh, now you like cops now all of a sudden. We would have had to literally run for our lives. They immediately arrested him. It was shut down really fast by the cops and we respected that. She said the attack left her and her friend in shock, but they ultimately chose not to cooperate with the prosecu prosecutors, a decision she now regrets. After Burke was charged with murder on Friday for hurting a 76year-old stranger named Ross uh Fzona or Fzone uh to his death at the Chelsea subway station Thursday night. Police have taken the violent uh uh brute to why are you calling a brute? To Belleview Hospital for acting erratically Thursday afternoon before he was released about an hour later and uh launched the deadly unprovoked attack later that night against this gentleman right here. I regret it 100%. I actually feel bad that a man lost his life because of you.

[00:07:04]BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR WHITE GUILT.

[00:07:08]Maybe a part of me was just like, I don't want to put another black man in jail. But, you know, at some point, if you are a criminal, you're a criminal.

[00:07:18]And he was scary. He was a scary guy.

[00:07:21]Burke was hit with an assault charge for the April attack and granted supervised release uh uh supervised release at arraignment.

[00:07:32]And I'm going to talk about the um where her I have her here. As a matter of fact, I have the judge that let him go and she's an activist judge. But let's go ahead and look at the the uh news coverage about the incident that happened in New York City that day.

[00:07:52]Tonight here at 11:00, Mayor Zeron Mandani ordering an investigation after a deadly push down this flight of stairs at the 18th Street subway station in Chelsea. Investigators say the victim was walking toward the entrance when he was shoved down the steps just hours after the suspect was released from Belleview Hospital for evaluation. Naomi Ruckham reports now from Chelsea.

[00:08:18]Outside the 13th precinct, 32-year-old suspect Raml Burke was walked in front of cameras ahead of his arraignment.

[00:08:25]He's now charged with murder for an attack police say happened in seconds, taking the life of 76-year-old Ross Fzone. Fzone was adored in his Upper Westside apartment building. A neighbor who did not want to show her face on camera told us he was a former teacher who loved classical music. Ross was an incredibly kind, nice. I don't understand why hide in your face when you're talking so well about your neighbor. These people are so scary.

[00:08:53]These white libtards here, okay? They It's like they enjoy being massochists by black and brown people, black and brown criminals in New York City. I You don't want to show your face speaking positively and highly of your neighbor.

[00:09:14]an elderly man that was pushed to his death unprovoked. By the way, he didn't deserve to die. But I'm such a coward.

[00:09:24]I'm such a coward. But again, you see why I will never let these people get away with blaming the Jews for their actions. Okay? Never. I will never let them get away with it.

[00:09:35]>> Person, super genuine, very talkative, loved living here. Um, loved going out and about. um seeing performances um going to Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center.

[00:09:47]>> Sounds like he was like a real New York guy.

[00:09:50]>> Very much so. The incident happened.

[00:09:52]>> He's a real New York guy that died the New York way. The new New York way that the violence of career criminals that your mayor, your governor, [clears throat] as well as the judges, they refuse to keep incarcerated.

[00:10:11]Couldn't be me.

[00:10:12]>> Just after 9:30 Thursday night on 7th Avenue when police say a man rushed up behind the victim and shoved him. Fzone suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractured ribs, and a fractured spine.

[00:10:24]He died later at Belleview Hospital.

[00:10:26]Police say the suspect had already been taken into custody earlier that day after acting erratically outside the 17th precinct. Investigators say he was taken to Belleview for a psychiatric evaluation at 3:52, then released at 4:39.

[00:10:41]>> An hour. An hour. Like, come on now.

[00:10:46]Like, are they crazy? Now, in my opinion, the family of the elderly man that that died should sue the city, should sue that mental psych psychiatric ward for releasing him so early. They would have to really come up with a good excuse on why they didn't think this guy was, you know, sane.

[00:11:10]>> The attack happened hours later. Now, Mayor Mom Donnie is ordering an immediate investigation into >> and Madani is only doing this to save face. By the way, >> psychiatric evaluation and discharge procedures. In a statement, the mayor said he was horrified by the killing and has directed NYC Health and Hospitals to conduct both an immediate investigation on what steps should have been taken to prevent this tragedy and a comprehensive review of their psychiatric evaluation and discharge protocols. As neighbors remember, a man they say brought kindness to everyday life.

[00:11:43]>> I do want people to know that he was just the nicest, most genuine, kind person. Police say the suspect was found inside Penn Station Friday afternoon where he was taken into custody in Chelsea. Naomi Ruckham, CBS News, New York.

[00:11:58]>> And just minutes ago, NYC Health and Hospitals Belleview did release a statement saying in part, "We welcome this review and we expect that it will find our care was appropriate."

[00:12:09][laughter] >> Our care was appropriate, but letting him out early, that was justified. I I I don't know. I don't even know uh the type of family that this unfortunately this elder man had, but I do. They money really makes a big difference. And if you sue the heck out of these people, you know what I'm saying? They'll think twice of letting these crazy people out on the street like NEW YORK IS FULL OF THEM. They're full of crazies.

[00:12:40]like like bring asylum asylum uh centers back, dude, for real.

[00:12:46]Okay, so here's the thing. Uh this is a quote. Um we don't we're not even going to repeat the quote because we can just go ahead and play the video, but it says right here, "These are the words of the activist judge who released a maniac accused of pushing an elderly teacher to his death in the subway. is a former public defender endorsed by a slew of liberals. Judge Marva Brown released Romel Burke under supervision at arraignment after he was accused of thirdderee assault for attacking couple for attacking a couple despite having two prior violent arrests just days earlier. One of those arrests came after he assaulted a police officer and resisted arrest while officers were trying to detain him for bringing a knife onto the subway. Uh, quote, "The personal effects of having an incarcerated family member is very strong with me and the work that I do each and every day.

[00:13:51]This I noticed that like here's the deal. I think I think if I'm wrong, correct me in the comment section, but if you as a bartender see someone that's very intoxicated, but you keep serving him or her drinks and they drive drunk, even though that's their decision, if they are driving and they kill someone, you can go to jail.

[00:14:23]you can also be sued. We need to have some consequences and repercussions for these activist judges, okay? Especially the black ones like this who want to say, "I don't want a black man to go to jail." And those white liparss that like it's racist for me to send a black person to jail. Like this kind of behavior is why New York is always been decaying, right? Ever since ever since I would get to say I think Rudy ever since Rudy wasn't a mayor anymore Giuliani it's been going downhill here. They got rid of broken windows. They got rid of stop and fris. And it's just been it's just been a hell hole ever since. And you have these judges who don't care about the safety of the citizens in the city. They just want to brag about how they didn't put a lot of black people in jail or brown people in jail or illegals in jail. So listen to this clown right here. I mean this right this this is so terrible. This is a judge by the way. The judge that let this crazy guy right here out on arraignment.

[00:15:40]Didn't lock him up.

[00:15:41]>> I'm Marva Brown. I'm a judge currently in Manhattan criminal court. Being elected to the civil court has given me a 10-year term where some people believe I now have the autonomy to be my authentic self on the bench and make decisions without fear of reprisals um that might be contrary to what mainstream media um people that don't see value in my people in our community agree with the personal effect of having an incarcerated family member um is very strong with me and the work that I do each and every day because I know that um there are so many reasons why people in end up involved in the criminal legal system. And so for me getting to know my clients, getting to know their stories and why they ended up in court, why they ended up with cases, what their family and home life and community life um became a priority to me. And so when I think of my my career as a public defender and saying I need to be in that decision-making role, that decision-making process as a judge, we have to have people on the bench who see value in the people's lives and our that come from our communities. And for me, the transition from attorney and advocate to judge is one that I see not only to affect the people who appear in front of me, but also to be counsel and adviser to other judges that sit in my courthouse and provide um my life experience, my professional experience, because frankly, most judges don't come from a public defender background. Most don't come even from criminal backgrounds that actually sit in the criminal courts. And so when you think of who's deciding these cases, who's reviewing these cases, we need not d necessarily diversity of skin color, right, but diversity of professional experience, life experience. Um, and so that has been part of my mission to say we need to expand um what the judiciary looks like in the state of New York and beyond.

[00:17:45]>> This is absolutely crazy. So, because I've had a family member incarcerated, yet did he do the thing that caused him to be in jail? Okay. I bet you her family member is a PDF file. And she's like, "Well, the the ch the child wasn't that young. He shouldn't be staying in jail for no that the re the years that that they gave him." Like, no accountability whatsoever. And of course, she's going to get to the whole my people, my community thing. So, she's very tribal. So, anytime she going to see anybody black, she's going to automatically go, "I'm not going to punish them. I'm going to let them off.

[00:18:23]I'm not going to incarcerate them. I'm not going to hold them accountable because nobody's holding her accountable. Who cares if they didn't come from a criminal background? Who cares if if she's like the only prosecutor to be a judge?" The sooner she put activist with the judge, she should have never been on the bench. And I They need What am I talking about?

[00:18:44]What they need? I don't think New York cares for the most part. For the most part, you're gonna have some people who do care. But for the most part, I don't think they care. I don't think they care enough to punish uh Oompa Loompas like this chick and get her off the bench.

[00:19:02]They also need to come up, maybe Donald Trump needs to come up with a law and actually get to get it to pass through Congress to punish criminally punish judges or disbar them if they are more of a activist and they're very soft on criminals, career criminals like this guy and and basically pushing an agenda than doing their damn job. Okay, so let me show you something really quickly. As you can see, murders are up 300% in New York City subway system. Not the city, by the way. I thought this was just A CITY THING. NO, THIS IS JUST in the New York City subway system. They're still pushing people in front of the trains.

[00:19:53]They're still mugging others. They're still trying to There are men are trying to rword women. Okay. Late at night or early in the morning like 3:00 4:00 in the morning and like it's as if it's like oh this is just part and partial of living in the city. Isn't that what that liftard uh governor said or something like that? And then of course we can look at his criminal record. So this is just this year alone.

[00:20:22]This is not his complete criminal history. This is just this year alone.

[00:20:26]So on May the 2nd he was arrested for assault. He was released by Judge McCormick. Then on, sorry, did I say fe March? Sorry, I got the date wrong. May the 2nd, he was arrested for assault.

[00:20:41]Uh, two days later, he was released by George Judge McCormack. Um, May the 14th, he was arrested for burglary. He was released on May, sorry, FEBRUARY 25TH 5TH. WHY AM I NOT reading what I see? So he was arrested on February the 14th, released on February the 25th by Judge Johnson. Then he was arrested again the next day for drugs and night, which is on February the 22nd, and was released the day before my birthday.

[00:21:15]Woohoo. By Judge Brown. So he was released on uh March the 1st. Then on my birthday, he was arrested again for assault and re and was transfor transferred to Bell Hospital and then he um later on the next day he was he murdered uh this young man, this elderly man right here.

[00:21:43]Um until the judge are held accountable, it won't stop. It won't stop. It won't stop. How do we get here? Well, I know how we got here, but this has this has to stop. But this is not my city.

[00:21:57]Uh they voted for a mayor who's not going to stop this. And so, hey, if if if this is what most of the citizens in New York want, then this is what you get. Anyway, I it was important for me to release a video today. chat uh ters and um I'm glad I found a story that I felt passion to talk about.
