Seriously, WTF?! I wonder what set off the argument in the first place..

Nothing did, that's the point. They're just degenerates who consider getting into trouble and instigating fights a fun thing.

Presumably one less liberal nyc voter. Wonder how he'll feel riding the train next week....

He got off very easy; even contributed to it to an extent with his ignorant attempt at reasoning, thinking nothing was going to happen. "Why are you bothering me?"

Theres much worse riding the subways. It almost looked staged to me. Too clean. Not enough intimidation beforehand. No weapons to speak of. On the other hand, it seems real; someone conditioned to believe they have no right or need for self defense.

I enjoyed the poster's comments... somehow The New York Post must be to blame. :lol:

Well you can't stop some people from pursuing their fantasies - whether it is getting an "interview" with Al Quida in Pakistan or "teaching" in the Sudan, or reasoning with savages in the subway.

I really can't stand people like that.
They think getting into unfair fights is amusing, 3 vs. 1..... ridiclious.

that dude's pretty sad in my opinion. i'd love to sit there and annoy the **** out of him for the entire train ride! people being obnoxious and rude is one thing, but who the *&$% is he to correct someone else's behavior?!?!

[Mellyrose]

Wow, pouring coffee on a woman's HEAD?!?!? Who does he think he is, hall monitor? What gives him the right? I don't like other people "bothering" me on the train either, but you learn to just deal with it. It's never going to change...and being rude isn't going to get him very far.

I'd love to be on the same train as him.

Wow, pouring coffee on a woman's HEAD?!?!? .......

Well, she did get him in the shirt first.....He sounds like he is 75 watts short of a 100 watt light bulb, but IF someone threw java on my shirt...I may unload on her head if I was packing decaf....she would not be worth the hi octane tho!

Quote received from Gothamist.com:

"- Reverend Al Sharpton, (if the video is real) "We denounce this despicable act of violence and stand ready to support the victim in any way as he pursues justice in this vicious incident."

[Tom_Turner]

The Orwellian reality of Al Sharpton's career is that he is now routinely accorded "extra credit" for taking a normal or reasonable stance on something of this nature.

He'd be an even busier man today than he already is, if he took an active ("neutral") interest in cross race violence in contemporary America. Not sure that would play to his base though.. and there's not as much money or political capital in it.
