Steven Hutcherson, AKA Esteban Esono-Asue
1,170 words / 8:23
Hearing that a black man who stands accused of stabbing two teenage girls in New York’s Grand Central Terminal on Christmas morning told arresting officers “I want all the white people dead” sounds depressingly familiar — at least if you’re white and don’t have a death wish.
Both girls were released from the hospital with minor injuries. The secret Yuletide surprise is that two major New York newspapers are using the term “anti-white” in their coverage of the incident.

“Man Charged With Hate Crimes in Stabbing of 2 Teens at Grand Central,” reads The New York Times headline. The subhead: “Esteban Esono-Asue uttered an anti-white slur before attacking two sisters from Paraguay who were on a family trip.”
“Teen tourist sisters stabbed in random anti-white hate crime attack at Grand Central Terminal,” blares the New York Daily News above a mug shot of the blank-faced, dark-skinned perp, whom it identifies as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson.
Most press reports list the suspect’s legal name as Steven Hutcherson and “Esteban Esono-Asue” as an alias, but the Washington Post says he’s listed as Esteban Esono-Asue on the formal criminal complaint. Then again, the Post article also uses term “anti-white,” which feels like the start of something big.
Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal — which most people still refer to as “Grand Central Station,” although it hasn’t borne that name since 1910 — was recently rated the world’s sixth-most-visited tourist attraction. As the story goes, a family visiting from Paraguay was having lunch at around 11:25 AM on Christmas morning at a food-court eatery called Tartinery when the suspect got into a minor dispute with one worker about whether he’d be allowed to linger endlessly at a table without ordering anything. He allegedly told that worker, “I’ll leave; I don’t want the white man to get at you.” He then told another worker, “I don’t want to sit with the black people. I want to sit with the crackers” and asked for a table next to the Paraguayan family, who according to the complaint “appeared to be white.”
After being seated and given water, the suspect allegedly got up, pulled out a knife, and stabbed a 16-year-old Paraguayan girl in the back. As the family tried to flee, he stabbed a 14-year-old girl in the thigh. He was apprehended in under a minute and allegedly told arresting officers, “I want all the white people dead.”
On Tuesday, New York Mayor Eric Adams said:
Any time you have incidents in these high-profile locations, it sends the feeling of people don’t feel safe, that’s why we have to make sure we zero in, make the arrests as soon as possible, and make sure we get those repeat offenders off the streets.
Adams has something in common with the alleged stabber besides the fact that they’re both black: He uses the anti-white slur “crackers.” Adams got elected in late 2021 despite it being publicized that in 2019 he’d bragged that while he was an New York City cop, “Every day in the Police Department, I kicked those crackers’ ass.” (As part of my sincere desire not to make the mayor look grammatically retarded, I’ll assume that all of those crackers shared a single collective ass.)
As far as the idea of “repeat offenders” goes, a search of public records identifies a 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson who lives in New York City and has 17 prior arrests, which matches most press reports about the stabbing suspect. (A similar public-records search yielded zilch for “Esteban Osono-Asue.”) Mr. Hutcherson was arrested three times in 2006 for misdemeanor assault and once in 2007 for felony robbery. Until 2023, his most criminally productive year appears to have been 2009, when he was arrested three times for rape, four times for promoting prostitution, and once for attempted promotion of prostitution. According to the New York Daily News, Hutcherson has been convicted of crimes 11 times.

In July 2023, he was found with two concealed knives and arrested while using the name Esteban Esono-Asue. He pleaded guilty to weapons possession in October and, despite his lengthy record, served only 15 days in jail.
On October 2, he was arrested after using a hammer to smash a glass display case at a Bergdorf Goodman store in Midtown Manhattan, causing $81,000 in damage. He was also sentenced to 15 days in jail for that offense, but it’s unclear whether he served that term concurrently with the 15-day bid for the July weapons charges.
On November 7 in the Bronx, after being spotted allegedly attacking a woman, he threatened a 46-year-old menial laborer named Yussif Abdullahi with a knife. According to Abdullahi, Hutcherson shouted at him:
Why are you working for white people? I’m going to kill this man! . . . I’m gonna shoot you. I don’t care what kind of green card the government gave you. . . . Open your mouth and say something. I will shoot you right now.
A police report says Hutcherson then fled and sucker-punched another man a half-hour later. After being apprehended, he then slapped an officer in the head at the police precinct. But despite all this — attacking a woman, threatening to shoot a man, sucker-punching another man, and then assaulting a police officer, combined with all his previous crimes, which include an arrest on November 23 for screaming on a Manhattan street and a restraining-order violation against his mother on December 1 — he pleaded guilty of misdemeanor assault on December 12 and was sentenced to a conditional discharge. No jail time at all.
This is what enabled him to get arrested yet again on December 19 for allegedly threatening to blow someone’s head off with a gun and, finally, for allegedly stabbing two teenage Paraguayan girls on Christmas morning.
When informed about the Christmas-morning stabbing, Yussif Abdullahi — whom Hutcherson accused of “working for white people” before he threatened to shoot and kill him — told the New York Post:
They shouldn’t have let him out [of jail]. I don’t believe it. . . . I’m so disappointed in the cops. When he was threatening me, he told me, ‘The cops don’t do shit! They don’t do shit!’ And what he said was true. The cops didn’t do anything.
At his arraignment on Tuesday night, Hutcherson was charged with attempted second-degree murder, assault in the first and second degree, attempted assault in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon, and endangering the welfare of a child — all as hate crimes. He was also formally charged with two previous crimes for which he’d only been arrested.
It’s sad that it took the stabbing of two girls who at least “appeared to be white” for New York authorities to finally get serious with this serial predator. The girls will likely be scarred, physically and mentally, for life.
The good news, the glad tidings of great joy, is that the mainstream press is using the term “anti-white” to describe the incident. Hidden deep inside the ugly gift wrapping was a Christmas present for all of us.

I still think “superpredator” is one of the most apt terms ever coined and, even though it initially referred to “youths,” perfectly describes the vile black male; what a bane he is to man and beast everywhere he sets his shuffling feet.
“If only we knew the motivation for this gentleman to commit such a heinous crime.” — Fox News.
How many more of these attacks have to happen before White people learn to never relax around blacks?
I bet they weren’t particularly relaxed, just hungry maybe. How could you possibly avoid black in New York? Which actually reminds me of the Bus Terminal on 42nd street I used to arrive in when visiting the city. There was always classical music emitting from the loudspeakers. I learned later that blacks actually hate classical music. So it may work as a strategy at eateries at Grand Central, too.
It’s pretty unsettling how the mostly peaceful protestors at the January 6th Capitol protest, many of them got more time than this guy did for violent crimes.
In California, New York and DC, the Democratic Party encourages violent criminals. They control the courts and the justice system. They prosecute and jail their political opponents, to make America safe for Our Democracy. The Democratic Party (communist) promotes anarcho-tyranny for their own ideological ends.
Washington Compost & Jew York Times using the term anti-white is probably more an indication that they now think most people don’t care and are in fact probably in favor of anti-white attacks. More likely it’s a subtle way of egging it on.
Well it’s either that or it’s just dawned on them over the last three months that their attack dogs in the woke mob, their various pet “oppressed” minorities and their imported golem all consider them to be “white colonizers” as well. Oy vey!
If he was really trying to hurt or kill them: that they only received minor injuries speaks to jaw dropping incompetence. If I were his defense lawyer I would argue that it was not a real attempt based solely on that.
That said, doing construction for decades as I have, I have been very impressed with the ineptitude so often displayed by our closest relatives.
He knife-attacked a fellow inmate at the jail yesterday morning. The New York Post assured us the slashee was a person of color, so everything’s OK now, he’s not really a racist.
Although I feel sorry for the two teenage tourists and their family, I don’t feel any compassion for the ‘progressive’ urban Democrats who voted for this type of cesspool. Left-wing politics lead to a dead end. Leftism is a war on reality and common sense. If these Democrats don’t stop playing this game, they are going to crash. Youtuber Cash Jordan is documenting the decline.

Amazing video. Too depressing to watch it all. Who is to blame for the inverted justice system in NYC and other US cities?
Jews control the justice system. They let out killers and rapists, including the Central Park Five. They are disloyal and subversive. Alvin Bragg is the Soros-DA for Manhattan. Democrat judges are political commissars, not real judges.
Is there any recourse for the South American family to sue the justice system? This man should have been put away more than once. If a psychiatrist had let him out of a mental hospital the lawyers would have been right onto it.
Good question. There should be some kind of recourse, and there would be under a logical and fair system of justice, but not in NY state. That system is rigged by and for the Democratic Party.
Democrat judges and Soros DA’s deliberately encourage more crime. It suits their ideology. If a victim defends himself, then they sometimes arrest the victim and prosecute him to the full, while they release the criminal or give him only a token sentence. They did that with Steven Hutcherson several times this year, before his latest crime.
This is a terrifying story – for such an attack to occur at 11:25 AM on Christmas Day, in Grand Central Station (or “Terminal”). NYC has deteriorated greatly over the last 12 years. I wonder why? The author does a good job summarizing the facts of the case. I hope the two girls fully recover soon. Two more innocent victims of NYC criminality.
This time it seems to have had a happy ending, but it was a close call. It could have gone the other way. I hope Alvin Bragg or some Democrat judge doesn’t invent some excuse to once again release the perpetrator. They’ve done this several times before already. Why? Because the Democratic Party is pro-crime. They promote anarcho-tyranny.
However, I am encouraged by the reaction of the mayor, Eric Adams. He is what passes for “conservative” in NYC, so the Deep State is out to get him with bogus charges from 20 years ago. That’s how the criminal Deep State operates.
I was in the Grand Central Terminal buying a train ticket at about 12:10 PM, just after the stabbing (although I didn’t know there had been a stabbing at the time). I heard an unusual noise behind me while paying, and turned to look. It was unclear what was happening, but I think it was one of those hip hop dancers who was doing something dramatic, like doing a 360 degree somersault within the confines of a narrow space. It sickened me that everyone, 99% white, were going gaga over this, even the rich folk in the ultra expensive restaurants on the terraces overlooking the main concourse. I saw an older genteel woman with her mouth hanging open. Why?! You’ve seen one black grifter you’ve seen em all! Jeez, you’re that fucking sheltered that you’ve never seen a black person, acting black, in a black city, that you leave off what you’re doing and act like they’re filming the movie Grease! Talk about corny white people! This was on the main concourse, not the dining concourse where the stabbing was, which is a hell below.
That event occurred only 45 minutes after the double stabbing, on Christmas Day. Another reason to avoid NYC.
Many whites have been thoroughly brainwashed. They fear the thought police, if they don’t demonstrate their subservience to wokeness with sufficient enthusiasm. I would like them to visit South Africa or Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to get a stronger dose of what they supposedly admire so much.
It’s amazing that it took this long for the criminal justice system to get serious about that oxygen thief.
