That's Some Crazy Subway Wilding
The unofficial first and second rules of sane subway rides might be "Do not talk to anyone" and "Don't look anyone in the eye." The Smoking Gun found a crazy video of an adult being beat up by a group of teenage girls on an A train. The adult, who is white, was somehow roped into a shouty exchange with the girls, who are black, and high school student Kadejra Holmes filmed the exchange, which culminates the man getting a beat down.
As seen in the clip, the group of girls taunted and threatened the seated male rider as the train moved from the Ralph Avenue station to the Rockaway Avenue stop. As members of the group inched closer--and threatened to strike him--the man remained calm, asking the girls, "Why are you arguing? Please stop, stop." As the train pulled into Broadway Junction, a girl off-camera could be heard predicting, "They gonna hit him, I know it." Within moments, the man, who had stood up, was shoved down and pummeled by members of the gang. As the tape ends, the victim--who was also struck in the face with a plastic soda bottle during the assault--is continuing to be struck by two of the girls.
Holmes told the Smoking Gun she was not part of the group who beat up the man, but then pulled the video from YouTube afterwards. The Smoking Gun has the video on its site and notes that Holmes originally named it "jump up to get beat down," perhaps a reference to Brand Nubian's "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down" (the video "featured members of the rap group throttling various unfortunate opponents, two of whom get their bloody comeuppance in a subway car").
We recently saw a woman slap a male rider on the face, believing he deliberately pushed her (it was a crowded train), and have heard that an inquiry over a subway seat led to a woman-on-woman beating. Yes, folks - subway ridership is at all-time record highs.

I'm sorry, but if you get beat down by a group of girls, you need to get to a boxing class, toute de suite.
charming...really charming.
Thanks for reminding me why I absolutely LOATHE teenagers. Aggressive, entitled, ignorant little beasts with no frontal lobes.
Juvenile delinquents. I guess pointless displays of testosterone induced violence isn't limited to dumb teenage boys.
Poor bastard, can you imagine if he had actually fought back and hurt one of them?
I couldn't really make out what was being screamed, but unless they used some choice epithets it might be hard to classify this as a hate crime.
I seem to recall that "wilding" was the term used by the rapists of the Central Park Jogger for what they did to her.
This is a common problem after school in some communities. These kids are wild animals with mob mentalities. You can't make sense of their actions, and you can't rationalize with them. Put em in jail, that's where they are headed anyway.
Crime is crime. This criminals should get some institutionalized treatment to stop abusing their freedom.
so this isn't a hate crime because . . . ?
Yes, Rocknrope, he actually should have beat the shit out of those girls. Or maybe pulled a Littlejohn and violently raped them before dumping their lifeless bodies on the side of the rod.
If the races were reversed Sharpton would be on his third press conference by now.
I like how if black kids from the ghetto get to call it a "wilding" but if it were white kids, it'd be called assault.
Also, where is Al Sharpton to claim that these young ladies are the victims of white oppression?
I blame the white guy.
you should always have something on you when traveling on the subway late at night.
unless, you're going to a spot where they frisk you, then you keep it in the car.
thankfully, this has never happened to me when I used to take the subways late at night.
Old boy scout motto, be prepared.
This is totally legitimate Black Rage. These fine young ladies were just expressing their exasperation at the tremendous and crushing racism they've experienced since they were born some time in the early-90s. They can hardly be blamed for channeling their frustration by staging their own intifada against the lone white-male-establishment figure who was on that train with them. In fact, just riding that particular train with those oppressed black youth could be considered an act of cultural violence by that cracker.
Cowardly punk ass bitches.
They counted on him not to fight back, or he would have really hurt several of them, then he'd be busted for a hate crime.
They should all be required to have their tubes tied. You know they're just going to get worse, and their undoubtedly bastard progeny will be even more loathsome.
As for the girl who taped it, give me a break. She knew it was going to happen, she's a part of the gang and helped set it up.
If the same thing had happened with a gang of white girls and a black man, the racial outrage and riots would still be burning through the streets.
Literally.
the video is a lot less exciting than i'd hoped. the girls tap his face with the bottle, at best. i was hoping to see the soda foam in the bottom from a hard hit. nothing.

Totally disgusting.
I hope he sues these disgusting pieces of shit.
But they likely don't have a pot to piss in anyhow, so that's just counterproductive.
VIVA NYC'S PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM!

the good thing is this is gonna get crazy exposure
and lots O' Hate.
you can take them out of the.....
I once said excuse me to a girl on the F train who then proceeded to push me at full force with her hand on my back. I told her off and later thanked God that she didn't stab me in the face. Moral of the story: teenagers are scary.
Please tell me this was staged. Why didn't this guy walk to the next car?
Loser teenagers grow up to be loser women. Sad group of loser girls.
this is the very reason bernard goetz starting carrying a hand gun.
these women should all be executed. they serve no purpose in society.
it isn't a hate crime because there is no white version of al sharpton to blabber incoherently about the unfortunate incident.

Can we get the NYPD on this one? Why can't subway cars have video cameras in them?

The A line has ALWAYS been this way. I USED to live in Ozone Park and in order to get to manhattan you would have to take the A line which passes through GHETTOVILLE, Aka, East New York.
That neighborhood is full of people displaying this kind of behavior always. I don't remember it any other way. Low class/violent/forever trash.
The A line, is also full of the most depressing ads on any subway line, like "Hurry up and get your GED" or "How to make big bucks fast!"
Also, the lighting in all the old cars are so dimly lit it's prime for someone getting a "beat down".
Folks, as someone who grew up in the Dayton Towers I can honestly say that this is nothing new. From the looks of it this guy had his fists cirumsided as well as his putz!
I recently got into a subway altercation with a girl who was waiting for someone to look at her the wrong way, and i gave her the stink eye. She was angry and waiting for it, cursing up a storm and spewing her anger over everyone on a sunday afternoon.
I only got away with my white ass intact because her friends held her back after I told her she would never get anywhere in life talking like that. And I got off the train at grand central which has the heaviest police presence.
Smarter thing would have been to not say a word, but when these teenagers want to fight someone, they are going to find someone.
"The adult, who is white, was somehow roped into a shouty exchange with the girls, who are black..."
You win the unnecessary mention of race prize for the day.

These girls look like the gay lesbian trash from christopher street. One of them wanted to play alpha chick. /man So they decided to get all foxy brown on the white guy that might of said pipe down theres other people on the train....

There's a lesson here: if you find yourself in a situation where a gang is feeling you out to see whether you're a good candidate for a beating, either A) beat a hasty retreat and get the hell out of there, or B) make yourself seem more threatening than the gang itself.
Appealling to their sense of compassion and understanding is only going to make you seem weak and an easy target. Either jump up and act like this chance to kill a group of people is the opportunity you've been waiting for your whole life, or jump up and run away. But don't just sit there.
In a way, I kinda feel bad for these kids. You know they probably had terrible upbringings to end up like this.

What fine group of charming young ladies. Let's invite them over for an evening of tea and hate crimes!
A if for Animal train.
That's all who ride that thing.
Yeah it's the fastest way to Harlem, but who the fug wants to go there except animals?
This makes a case for cell phone usage in all subways. Start with the animal sections of Brooklyn, the Bronx and Harlem and then move onto Manhattan.

whatever about the kids. If you live here, then you know groups of kids are to be avoided.
What's up with this single dude on the train just sitting there for 4 minutes going back and forth with these maniacs?
I mean, any sane person would have been out the second those kids got on the train, or moved cars when they got on. This is how it works here. Kids, late at night, crew down mean trouble.
Hate to blame the "victim", but that's what I'm doing.

Race relations are fucked because the IDIOTS of whatever race take always "their race" as an excuse to be idiots...where as the normal good guys of the same "racial identity" never get noticed, maybe because they are not embarking in a race quest for a freaking alley!
territoriality...it is stupid, and totally futile.

ghetto ass bitches. why can't we build a fence around them like the conservatives want to do around mexico's border... we could electrify it and play rap over loud speakers to keep the calm...
