The 18-year-old teenager accused of stabbing Brooklyn community activist Ryan Thoresen Carson sobbed today as he was marched out of an NYPD precinct to face first degree murder charges.

Brian Dowling, 18, was arrested at an apartment in Bedford Stuyvesant on Thursday morning on suspicion of stabbing Carson on Monday.

The brutal attack, caught on camera, happened at 3.50am while Carson and his girlfriend were waiting for a bus.

Today, police removed a sweatshirt matching the kind worn by the suspect in the video from Dowling's home, along with a knife that is believed to have been used in the attack.

His home is a five minute walk from where Carson, 32, was stabbed to death.

Neighbors told DailyMail.com he is a 'sweetest boy' who is never normally in trouble.

My heart breaks for his family and friends.

That is all

4. The girlfriend has raised 68k (so far) on a go fund me

So she can take time off to process her grief.

5. She witnessed the murder of her romantic partner. If people want to donate to her

I have zero problem with that.

She will have PTSD for the rest of her life.

6. I'd be a wreck

I hope she's ok and gets money. I couldn't even go to work after witnessing that

9. I'm sure it was extremely traumatic

I hope she can work thru her pain. There is a brand new, effective tx for ptsd, it's called Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM).

13. This is a group of people asking for money for themselves

This is weird.

I feel horrible for the girlfriend. This will be a very difficult thing to process for her. It's perfectly understandable to want to support her during this time. Absolutely.

However.

What is going on with this "collective" of friends using the publicity surrounding his death to grasp for money for themselves so they can take time off from work?

Sorry. Weird. Just kind of a shitty look in general. They're trading on their friend's murder to grub for money for themselves. It's really gross to me.

I've experienced all kinds of loss in my life. Deaths, murder, multiple suicides. It never crossed my mind to run to GoFundMe with palm out to the public for hard cash to help me process my grief.

It's weird.

16. It's up to 72k now.

Maybe they can get a plot and nice headstone for him at least.

[Sympthsical]

17. You'd think that would've gotten mentioned

It's so gross. I had to read it three times to make sure I wasn't missing something. Because it starts out "on behalf of" the girlfriend, but no. They just go right on in with their plans to pay themselves as well.

"Dismantling a profit-centered way of life" indeed. They wrote that while having their hands out.

Welp. This is predictably worming its way through social media - and not in a good way.

7. I knew the victim.

He too was a sweet young man. I work for the New York State Assembly and worked with Ryan on environmental issues.
I'm just devastated.

8. I'm so sorry nt

10. Sorry and thank you for letting us know about him.

11. My heart goes out to you, sincere condolences. n/t

[Demovictory9]

14. I am sorry for your loss

[XanaDUer2]

12. Kick nt

15. I don't understand. Murders could save themselves all the weeping and whining

if they just took five seconds to consider the potential consequences of their actions.

Five seconds would save the boo-hoo-hooing perp walk.

So please: Give it a five-second thought.
