"I was just trying to light my blunt, and the b*tch wouldn't leave me alone, so I hit her"

[onehandle]

Manhattan prosecutors yesterday released the alleged confession of a homeless man accused of stabbing a woman in the head with his pen after she told him to stop smoking pot on a subway train.

"I was just trying to light my blunt, and the bitch wouldn't leave me alone," cops say Coroberto Cordero, 35, told them. "So I hit her."

Cordero allegedly drew his "weapon" against Evelyn Seeger, 45, of Nutley, NJ, aboard a southbound No. 2 train near Chambers Street Tuesday morning. Seeger needed four stitches in her scalp to close the wound.

Cordero won't be taking the train again any time soon. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke ordered him held without bail on charges of felony assault and possession of marijuana and a weapon -- the pen.

1. Well...She was only a "bitch" anyway

..not like a real human, or anything.:sarcasm:

[Scuba]

2. Clear evidence that pot should be banned forever....

... and those old Cheech and Chong records too!!!

4. Hey now!

Don't mess with my Cheech and Chong records!

". . . Dave's not here!"

That shit still cracks me up. Probably a geezer stoner thing. :hippie: :smoke:

3. waved a flame in her face

"Witnesses told the New York Daily News that Cordero waved a big lighter with a high flame in her face and Seeger was yelling at him. Then Cordero slashed her face from temple to nose in front of the rest of the passengers.

A number of good Samaritans were able to pin Cordero in a corner until the train stopped at Chambers Street, where police were waiting. According to the New York Post, Cordero had tried to light a blunt — a cigar refilled with tobacco and marijuana, a witness said."

The Post is a Murdoch rag and they love to play to the "NYC-is-lawless-hell" stereotype. The truth is closer to: "A number of good Samaritans were able to pin Cordero in a corner until the train stopped..."

Anne Frank was right.

5. Breaking: Stoners can be violent assholes just like drunks.

Fuck head.

[snooper2]

9. I'd love to see the numbers on that

for every 100 asshole drunks, 2 prick potheads?

[Richardo]

20. It's >0.

...which was my point.

[snooper2]

22. the amount of gravity in space is >0

[phleshdef]

13. Completely sober people can be violent assholes. Moot point.

[City of Mills]

15. He was violent because he hadn't smoked yet

Also, some violent people smoke marijuana.

[Richardo]

21. Are you saying he has some kind of dependency on weed to regulate his mood?

Because that's not what you hear on 4/20.

6. I guess she won't do that again

[dbflah]

7. ...stabbing in head....

Where the hell is Bernie Goetz when you need him?

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Any takers that this homeless man might have serious mental issues or might even be a vet?

[JonLP24]

19. He may or may not

I can't tell, plus I'm not a doctor, but I'm not trying to argue either point. Just saying some people have short fuses (which I guess anger management is for) and will hit others when aggravated.

10. Eyewitness Accounts

I've got EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS -- one from a man who helped subdue the homeless man, right here:

And it wasn't a cigarette- -it was a BLUNT.
While i feel for the woman from Nutley, there seems to be a certain lack of common sense here. Don't pick a fight with a homeless guy lighting a blunt on the subway. He just **might** have some mental illness issues you don't want to mess with.

[salinen]

11. Ah!

so the pen is not mightier than the sword.

[whathehell]

16. Glad you find this so funny....I had a homeless man once throw a tire iron

at me for no reason at all.

Maybe he didn't

like "bitches" either.

12. Down with ball points! nt

14. Pen's don't kill, people kill.

17. Treatment for mental health issues in this country is sorely lacking.

He sounds like a very unstable individual.

[NeedleCast]

18. Not thatI disagree with you about mental health issues lacking the attention they deserve

But there's no shortage of assholes in New York (or anywhere else, for that matter).

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

23. Ah... insane and violent vagrants
