Breathless local news station heard from. what is more likely: That the guy who punched Rick Moranis was a neneber of some underground network of black people dedicated to punching white people. (Where do they meet? How do they keep score?) Or that he’s just an angry violent asshole, of a kind all too familiar to anyone who’s lived in a city. ---

A man seriously sucker-punched a random woman in downtown Seattle last week. He explained, “The voices in my head told me to do something to her.” I suspect that’s what’s going on in similar attacks we read about. > **[Seattle police: Woman waiting to cross the street was punched in the face by...](https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/seattle-police-woman-waiting-to-cross-the-street-was-punched-in-the-face-by-a-stranger-in-unprovoked-assault/)** > > Seattle police say a 39-year-old man approached a female pedestrian from behind and punched her with enough force that she fell face down on the pavement.
