The attorney for a woman accused of stabbing a transgendered black man in the face after he offered her his seat on the subway claims her client lives in a home for women with psychological problems and was acting in self-defense, reports the New York Daily News.

According to Jarrett, he offered his seat to Pazmino who turned him down before reportedly telling her companion,”I don’t want to sit next to black people.”

When Jarrett attempted to get off at his stop, he claims Pazmino attacked him by stabbing him several times — including in his face — with a small knife.

What the hell is wrong with people?

"The blacks always mug you, I heard it from Fox news!"

3. Yeah seriously! What the fuck is wrong with people??

4. Well she is living in a home for women with psychological problems

Perhaps we should wait to see if she has a relevant diagnosis. Most people who have psychological disorders aren't dangerous, but a small minority are.

It doesn't appear from this incident (if accurately reported) that the woman is in her right mind.

6. It seems like she should probably be in a locked facility.

5. she is a danger to others

and should probably be put into an institution.
