15-Year-Old Killed in Bus Stop Argument
On Wednesday night, 15-year-old Keyanna Jones was stabbed to death by when a dispute over line cutting at a Queens bus stop.
Police say that 39-year-old Winston Alladin was angered because a woman and child allegedly cut in front of him to board a bus. One passenger said, per the Post, he "spat racial epithets at the woman and other African-American passengers." When a group of kids followed him off the bus, more people joined in ("more than 10 people," according to the Daily News).
Alladin claimed he was "pelted with bricks and bottles and feared for his life"--someone in the mob may have threatened to shoot him--so he used his knife and stabbed one of the people in the crowd. Jones was struck in the heart and died at Jamaica Hospital. A 10-year-old who witnessed the scene told the News that Keyanna "was telling us to chill out. She was telling us don't fight him, he's not worth it."
Alladin was chased and held down by the mob until police arrived. Though he claimed the stabbing was in self-defense, police say the way Jones was killed contradicts that; Alladin was charged with manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.

"Winston Alladin was angered because a woman and child allegedly cut in front of him to board a bus"
He must have a screw loose if hes going to loose his shit over something so trivial, not to mention shouting racial slurs on board a bus filled with black people is not the smartest thing to do. I hope he rots in jail.

bingo ramairez, your thoughts?

I agree, Kojak. This shouldn't have happen in any way. He still got on the bus so why did he care so much?
And if that is true about her trying to make everyone leave him alone, I just feel so bad that she was the one to die. It's not self-defense when you start the fight.

He feared for his life so he stabbed the 15 year old girl who was telling the others to stop? Sounds like a plain old psycho to me. Get him off the streets.

The lady is a douche for cutting in front of the dude. The dude is a douche for making a big hoohah out of it. The mob are douches for making it a bigger hoohah. Douches all around. I don't know why anyone would get pissed for cutting on a bus. The bus ain't gonna leave. I always make sure I'm the last guy on the bus. And if anyone believes the girl was trying to stop the fight I got a bridge to sell ya. E. Queens is the worst part of New York. Yes, worse than the Bronx now. It's like a third world country out there.

Alladin is gonna get in the lamp for a few years (prison cell), he deserves it.
What scares me though is how quickly the racially charged mob organized, formed and got aggressive. It is wild, barbaric, and some of those people should be charged with something, even though they think their actions were justified.

BTW this relates well with the case of the african-american guy who shot an italian teen on Long Island in self-defence. This however was not self-defence, the guy started the verbal aggression and provoked everything, and he probably struck the least offensive person, the easest target, may her soul rest in peace.
How come he was carrying a knife? I propose this knife be inserted in his behind and spun in there a few times, before sending him off to prison. But i think he will get off the hook by claiming insanity.

I know most will disagree but even I will
let a woman and child board before me.
you have to pick your battles and know
when to quit.
thankfully Pb is still cheap.

15 year old girl gets stabbed to death. that's awful.
Reading the guy's story on the NY Times, assuming it's how things went down... well, I can almost see how the situation could spiral out of control with a result no one could have wanted.

The authorities identified Mr. Alladin as an immigrant from Trinidad and said that he was on his way home from his job as a security guard at Takashimaya, a luxury Japanese department store on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, when his path ultimately crossed Keyanna’s. The police said that he had no prior criminal record.
Inside Takashimaya, the head of security, who identified himself only as Joshua, said of Mr. Alladin: “I’ve known him for the last eight years and this person is not a violent person. He’s a good person. He’s not a person who looks for trouble.”
Investigators said Mr. Alladin told them that the stabbing arose from an argument he got into with a woman as he and the woman were boarding a city bus at Archer and Jamaica Avenues.
Mr. Alladin said he accused the woman, who had a child in tow, of jumping ahead of him in the line, the authorities said.
The dispute continued on the bus, where, Mr. Alladin said, three boys converged on him and began to harass him for speaking disrespectfully to the woman, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said.
When the woman got off the bus at her stop, Mr. Alladin and the boys stayed on. The boys continued to taunt Mr. Alladin, the police said he told them.
When Mr. Alladin disembarked in Springfield Gardens, the three boys followed him and were joined by a larger group of youths, including Keyanna. The entire crowd, which numbered at least 10 at this point, trailed Mr. Alladin, he told the police.
Mr. Kelly said that according to Mr. Alladin’s account, Mr. Alladin walked into a nearby backyard and asked the residents for help. “He asks someone to call 911,” Mr. Kelly said. “They actually tell him to get out of the yard.”
Shortly afterward — as the crowd continued to surround him, according to Mr. Alladin’s account — he pulled out a folding knife, which the police said he used to stab Keyanna in the chest.
The police said that the stabbing occurred in front of 137-42 Bedell Street in Springfield Gardens. They arrested Mr. Alladin at 10:34 p.m. They gave his address as 137-46 Bedell Street.
At the arraignment, Mr. Alladin’s lawyer, Stephen Bilkis, said Mr. Alladin told him he was attacked based on some “issues” stemming from the fact that he and his fiancée were the only Trinidadians living in the neighborhood.
Before the stabbing, Mr. Bilkis said “there was name-calling, there was rock throwing.” He added: “My client was calling for help. No one was responding to him.”

What are some racial epithets that would automatically and unequivocally set black people off to want to chase after, throwing rocks and bottles at me. Clearly, certain words would set off black people every single time, so I would like to know what those words are so I can avoid using them while they are nearby.

He should get off on justifiable manslaughter. Even biologists would tell you to stay clear of a pack of wild baboons on a rampage.

I have mentioned to people as politely as possible that when I see them cutting the line that it's not right.
There's a LINE FOR A REASON and just because you have a kid in tow doesn't mean you get to go first or cut a line.
That being said, the man didn't have to shout profanities/epithets to get his point across. There is such a thing as tact and this guy apparently lacks it.

lol, that's awesome... guy stabs a 15 year old girl in the chest, criticized for lack of tact.
[ report this ]
Aren't Trinidadians people of color?
So what is the racial epithet he could have used towards African - Americans?
Yankees? Gringos? Darkies? (assuming he is lighter skinned)
Just wondering.
[ report this ]
thug deserved it, if you read the article, 911 callers collaborated with what the guy said. he was being chased and stuff was being thrown at him.
plus this guy is probably black too. so no racial thing going on there.

Jen Chung chumming for racial outrage. Who says New York is constantly changing?
[ report this ]
Most of the Trin's I know are darker than your average A-A but have white features. It comes from there Indian background.
They are also hard workers vs... well I don't want to open that subject to discussion.

How is possible that one person could ever be the aggressor against 10 people? Common sense.
[ report this ]
^ How? By using automatic weapons and small nuclear missiles along with remote controlled air support.

Why the hell did he stab this girl in the chest? he was frustrated so he just stabbed anyone?
And is it still amusing when people have obvious argument-baiting screen names and make obvious argument-baiting posts? Is this supposed to teach us something or make us laugh? Because it's hella dull.
[ report this ]
He was probably not frustrated, he probably was infuriated by a bunch of punk ass jerks that think it's cool to beat on a guy.
The lesson to be learned here is that if you fuck at fourteen (probably earlier) and have a kid at fifteen at least step up to the plate and make sure that that piece of crap has a better future than you. I didn't see the father of this individual step up to the plate either.
[ report this ]
He was followed by a "mob of 10 people". Yeah, I'm sure that girl was there to dissuade the mob from beating him senseless. That's what I always do when I see an angry mob....
95% chance this guy is acquitted.....
[ report this ]
I'm surprise he wasn't dead before the cops came ...
