How was a subway hijacking teen arrested 12 times and let go by judges 5 times in just a year? Toxic empathy
Empathy can be toxic. Judges let 18-year-old subway hijacker Justine Randall-Pizarro go, not once, not twice, but five times this calendar year in an apparent bid to show mercy. But all they've really done is allow a clearly troubled teen to rack up a rap sheet of more than a dozen arrests this year, cause havoc on the transit network, inconvenience commuters and harass already overworked MTA employees. Randall-Pizarro was busted for commandeering a locked N train at 4am in June, wearing a black hat and Crocs, then driving it one stop from the Broadway station in Astoria to 36th Avenue. 'I went to Broadway, and behold – there was a lay-up train there. Still on FaceTime with my homeboy, so I drove it while I was on FaceTime with him,' she told investigators. 'And, I don't know, we was just fooling around, turning up on FaceTime like while I was driving it.' 5 Justine Randall-Pizarro has been arrested a dozen times in just 2025. facebook/ebelliousQueenTina A teen wandering the streets at 4am and hijacking subway cars is begging for help. Clearly something is very wrong on an individual level. Not to mention, she poses a massive danger to herself and others. That joy ride easily could have collided with another train. And this isn't even her first go around. Why was she out and about? NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told The Post Randall-Pizarro, who is transgender and listed on all paperwork as female, has been arrested twelve times… just in 2025. The Post was able to confirm 17 total arrests since September of 2024 when she turned 18. 'This person is basically a transit recidivist who keeps breaking into trains,' he said. 'When she breaks into them, she moves them, she steals items – train keys, things of that nature.' 5 Randall-Pizarro allegedly took over an N train and went for a joy ride. Christopher Sadowski All these arrests appear to be in vain. Every time the police nab Randall-Pizarro, the justice system seems hellbent on letting her go with a slap on the wrist. On June 23, she entered a train cabin and allegedly stole a female conductor's bag. Prosecutors asked for $20,000 bail or a $60,000 bond, but a judge released her on her own recognizance. On June 1, she supposedly took control of a different train in Brooklyn. For that, a $25,000 bail or $50,000 bond was requested. Yet again a judge set her loose on supervision. On May 26, she was accused of pepper spraying an MTA worker in the face on board an R train. And yet again she was granted a supervised release, in spite of a request for bail. 5 Randall-Pizarro was let go on supervised release and on her own recognizance by several judges. facebook/ebelliousQueenTina And, again, in a May 15 case that saw her supposedly steal a backpack from a motorman's cabin with keys and an MTA escape mask, a request for a mere $2,000 cash or $4,000 bond was denied, and a supervised release was once again granted instead. In yet another April case involving a stolen backpack containing MTA keys and an MTA radio, a judge denied a request for supervised release and instead let her go on her own recognizance. Assistant District Attorney Olivia Mittman has also said in court they have video of Randal-Pizarro subway surfing on the top of a train. How has she not been banned from the transit system? What a waste of police time and resources. What an unnecessary ongoing menace to MTA workers (what ever happened to the promise 'assaulting MTA New York City Transit subway personnel is a felony punishable by up to 7 years in prison' written on signs all over?) How much travel has she personally disrupted? And what a disservice to Randall-Pizarro herself. An 18-year-old should not be enabled to produce such an extensive criminal record in her first year of adulthood. There's really no justification for this suffocating leniency. 5 Randall-Pizarro says she found an idle subway car at the Broadway station in Astoria. Wikipedia There should be consequences for your actions, and opportunities to learn from them. Unfortunately, the only lesson learned here is: do what you want, and even if you get caught, and it won't catch up with you. Especially since the pandemic, our culture has adopted an all-out hostility towards the justice system and consequences being doled out as they are intended by law. We've been told that crime is the product of social constructs and systems of oppression, and that it is merciful to shield its perpetrators from any consequences. 5 Justine Randall-Pizarro's cases will all be consolidated into one, according to the DA. facebook/ebelliousQueenTina But it's plain to see this utopian world where crimes are forgiven and everything is fine and dandy is simply a fantasy. Recidivism is real, and consequences are what keep a society from succumbing to lawlessness. On August 5, Randall-Pizarro was arrested for skipping out on a court appearance and hauled before court, where all her cases are now consolidated into a charge of felony burglary and misdemeanor reckless endangerment. Her bail was set at $50,000 and she is being held in the women's jail at Rikers. The court has also ordered a mental health evaluation, after an earlier one expired. Toxic empathy has allowed Randall-Pizarro to continue this self-destructive spiral. And it also put MTA workers and innocent travelers at unnecessary risk, too. Hopefully finally facing justice and getting help will be the wake up call she needs.

NYPD cops shoot 22-year-old felon who was in gunfight with another, still-at-large suspect
NYPD cops interrupted a gunfight in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening — shooting a 22-year-old felon let out on parole just two months ago while the other gunman fled the scene, according to authorities. Cops patrolling Ocean Avenue in Prospect Park South around 7:30 p.m. heard gunfire and saw two suspects shooting at each other — making a split-second decision to intervene, NYPD officials said. 'Tonight our officers ran towards gunfire and they bravely and immediately confronted a dangerous situation,' Assistant Chief at Patrol Borough Brooklyn South Frank Giordano said during a press conference Tuesday evening. Officers patrolling Ocean Avenue saw the gunfight and quickly exited their patrol cars, drew their weapons, and fired at the suspect who was closest to them. William Miller Officers quickly exited their patrol cars, drew their weapons, and fired at one suspect who was closest to them — the 22-year-old felon recently sprung from jail, the officials said. Edynesson Bauduy, a two-time convicted violent felon currently on parole until 2030, was struck by at least one bullet, cops said. He was taken to Kings County Hospital and is in stable condition. Both officers were brought to a local hospital for evaluation as well, officials added. Bauduy was arrested in 2021 when he was just 18 years old for another shooting incident in Brooklyn. Edynesson Bauduy, a two-time convicted violent felon currently on parole until 2030, was struck by at least one bullet. William Farrington After the shooting, he was released from custody and arrested again for a violent commercial robbery in South Brooklyn, Giordano detailed. The young offender pleaded guilty to both indictments, receiving a concurrent sentence, and was released from prison just two months ago on June 10, police said. 'If he received a consecutive sentence for his two distinct violent crimes, he would not be out on the streets right now, involved in yet another shooting that endangers our public,' Giordano told reporters. Below is a picture of the firearm recovered from the scene of today's incident in the @NYPD70Pct. — NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) August 13, 2025 'This is a person who has repeatedly shrugged his shoulders at consequences and at our criminal justice system for these violent crimes that he committed. Once again, our officers confronted a dangerous situation, an armed individual, and did exactly what they were trained to do,' he said. The second suspect fled the scene toward Church Avenue, and his exact location is currently unknown, officials added. One gun and several casings were recovered from the scene, cops said. The incident remains under investigation.

27-year-old U.S. hiker found dead in Spain nearly month after going missing: Authorities
Authorities have reportedly found the body of an American hiker who'd been missing in the mountains along the Spain-France border since July 14. Guilford Cole Henderson, 27, appeared to have fallen about 650 feet down a mountain in Spain's remote Ordesa y Monte Pardido National Park in the Pyrenees mountains, according to both digital newspaper El Español and the newspaper El Diario De Huesca. Authorities are transporting the recovered body to a forensic medicine institute to "confirm his identity," El Español reported. The search for the Rhodes College alumnus has drawn international media attention since his friends posted pleas for help on social media in finding him. Several of his friends had hiked with him in Spain's remote Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. According to friends on Facebook, Henderson decided to hike alone after putting his cell phone on airplane mode to save battery power. The friends said they became concerned when Henderson didn't show for a June 14 flight from Spain to Amsterdam, where Henderson was living. Parents informed about body discovery Spanish authorities have told Henderson's parents, Trevania and John Henderson, that they believe they've recovered their son's body, according to loved ones in Nashville who spoke to The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network. Henderson's parents, who now live in New England, traveled to Spain for at least a week to help with daily search efforts. His mother, who grew up in Nashville, still has connections to the area and visits Tennessee often, loved ones said. The US Embassy in Spain and the Spanish Civil Guard both declined to comment in an email to The Tennessean, requesting further information. Who was Cole Henderson? Henderson was a 27-year-old who attended high school in Delaware and graduated from Rhodes College in Memphis in 2020 with honors with a degree in computer science. He is the grandson of the late Guilford Dudley Jr., who founded Nashville's annual white-tie gala, known as the Swan Ball, and the former US Ambassador to Denmark under the Nixon administration, according to The Tennessean. His former employers include software companies in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and San Francisco, as shown on his social media profiles. According to his LinkedIn profile, he was living in Amsterdam while working as an engineer for the software company Dexter Energy. A self-described avid packer, social media posts show that he has traveled across the world, from skiing in Breckenridge, Colorado, to hiking in South Dakota's Badlands National Park, and from volunteering in Costa Rica to trekking along the famed Tour du Mont Blanc through Switzerland, Italy and France. "Cole is an experienced traveler, a kind and curious soul, and someone who means the world to me," friend Eric Simon said in a July 15 Facebook post asking for help finding Henderson. Where was Cole Henderson hiking? Henderson was set to hike through the Ordesa Valley in the Pyrenees Mountains to a mountain hut known as Refugio de Pineta. He parked his car in the Spanish village of Torla and his friends believed he was going to catch a ride back to his vehicle. Friends also said he planned on camping while in the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, located in the mountains on the border between northern Spain and France. Officials do not know how long Henderson planned on hiking or whether he would attempt any of the peaks along the way. On July 10, hikers reported rain and severe thunder, the day after Henderson began his hike. They also mentioned that there was limited to no cell service on the route Henderson was possibly using.
