A knife-wielding subway predator who terrorized a young woman in broad daylight walks free thanks to New York’s disastrous bail reform laws, leaving patriots outraged over a system that coddles criminals while endangering innocent Americans.
Story Snapshot
- Fredrick Marshall, 42, attacked a 20-year-old woman on Brooklyn subway platform, declaring “You’re mine now”
- Heroic bystanders intervened and subdued the armed attacker until police arrived
- Despite carrying a knife and blackjack, Marshall was released without bail due to reform laws
- Victim now fears using public transit while her attacker remains free on supervised release
Bystanders Deliver Justice When System Fails
Fredrick Marshall stalked and physically assaulted a 20-year-old woman at the Norwood Avenue J train station in Brooklyn on June 29. The 42-year-old Queens resident grabbed and bear-hugged his victim, telling her “You’re mine now, you’re coming with me.” Fortunately, courageous bystanders witnessed the attack and immediately intervened, pulling Marshall away from the terrified woman and restraining him until police arrived. This grassroots response represents exactly what Americans must do when government fails to protect citizens.
Armed Predator Walks Free Despite Weapons Cache
Police discovered Marshall was carrying both a knife and a blackjack when they arrested him. These weapons clearly indicated premeditation and dangerous intent, yet prosecutors charged him only with assault, weapon possession, and harassment. Under New York’s reckless bail reform laws enacted in 2020, these charges don’t qualify for bail, forcing judges to release potentially dangerous criminals back onto the streets. This systematic breakdown prioritizes criminal rights over public safety, leaving law-abiding citizens vulnerable to repeat offenses.
Victim Abandoned by Liberal Justice System
The young victim now lives in fear while her attacker roams free under mere “supervised release.” She has sought an order of protection and relies on her employer for transportation assistance, unable to safely use public transit. Her trauma and ongoing terror illustrate the human cost of progressive policies that treat criminals as victims while abandoning actual victims. The incident’s viral spread, garnering over 7 million TikTok views, demonstrates widespread public outrage over this miscarriage of justice.
Constitutional Defenders Demand Reform
This case exposes how liberal bail reform undermines basic constitutional principles of public safety and equal protection under law. When the government fails to protect citizens from armed predators, Americans lose fundamental freedoms like safe travel on public transportation. The bystanders’ heroic intervention shows community strength, but citizens shouldn’t need to risk their lives because politicians refuse to keep dangerous criminals locked up. This systematic failure demands immediate legislative action to restore common-sense justice and protect constitutional rights.

“It’s unacceptable. It’s really insane to me how they could just release somebody after they did that,” the victim told CBS News in the wake of the attack.”https://t.co/Q6lhLpo2gO

Marshall’s release while carrying deadly weapons represents everything wrong with progressive criminal justice policies. Real reform means prioritizing victims’ rights and public safety over misguided compassion for criminals who threaten innocent Americans with violence.
