Who hates Steve Buscemi?

It was 100% a crazy person on the street.

Also it says he was caught because he was yelling at people and harassing them on the street. That's basically the exact profile of an unmedicated schizophrenic or similar in NYC.

Source: lived in Manhattan for many years.

Broadly there are three options:

  1. Buscemi is kind of an asshole and pissed people off
  2. Buscemi holds a political opinion/is the subject of some conspiracy that makes him a target
  3. New Yorker shit

I don’t have any info to suggest any specific option is right, and I’m too lazy to do even a modicum of research, but if I’m betting I’m betting on 3 with a hedge on 2. He seems cool as hell.

did you know that he was a fire for the 9/11 fighters?

[-] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 19 points 6 months ago

I bet the 9/11 fighters are still pissed he burned ‘em

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

We don't know if he was one of the big fires. He might have just been a little one that didn't burn nobody
