That's Some Crazy Subway Wilding

2007_12_subvid1.JPG2007_12_subvid3.JPG

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?

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.

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

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!

WOW, al sharpton should publicly commend that man for his dedication to nonviolence. seriously. i would probably be locked up right now after beating that 1 girl senseless once she attacked me. she should look into a sex change...she already looks like a man and she's definitely got the testosterone flowing

an expandable baton is good when the weather gets colder. of course, if you work in one of those offices where you and your belongings gets x-rayed, you're outta luck.

It's only a hate crime when a white cop kills a black deranged killer wielding an AK-47.

I punched a guy on the 7 because he touched my boob. He slithered away.


And I do take boxing classes.

Leave the girls alone.

That's an outrage! Have there been any arrests? Please keep us informed. I often ride the A to Rockaway Avenue and avoid the L for this exact reason. These young women should be apprehended, sentenced and jailed.

Nothing shocking here. Seems to me to be fairly typical African American behaviour.

Sterilize all blacks, just like they were doing with the feral cats at the airport.

Props to Ozone Park! I used to have Snapple bottles thrown at me from the opposite platform at stations like Utica and ENY when sitting by a window on the A train. This was right after the Howard Beach incident and riding the A train through ENY was not fun for a white kid. Seems nothing really changes except for the fact that some of these kids are really getting out of control on the trains. You HAVE to avoid certain times of the morning when going to work to miss throngs of cussing, fighting, screaming animals.

Can't a country be created somewhere south of Mexico called Africa-America and send all these type of people down there?

Al Sharpton should ride the trains a bit more often and see how his "people" carry themselves. After riding a few trains I think he will shut up his big fat ass mouth and realize the reason feral blacks don't get respect is because they don't deserve respect. If he was so concerned about afro americans, he should move to Newark and help out that shithole town solve it's problems before he starts blaming other people about his "peoples" not getting street cred.

I knew an italian guy who said he lives in ENY to either show how tough he is or how he's down with the brothers but I really think he lives in Ozone park.
that's why you don't sit next to the subway doors or sit where the doors open right in front of you.
and, don't stand so close to the edge of the platform. you'll either get spit at or have something thrown at you. same as above.

this happen to one of my friends back in hs. these black girls punch my friend who happen to be asian and started to yell racial slurs. my friend beat the crap out of all the girls. and next thing you know they were screaming abuse and other shit. making it as if its his fault. he got jump by a whole bunch of brothers.


people like this should be executed for being alive taking up space in this finite resourced world. such a waste of air and water.

For the most part Imus was right.

A = African Express

Ride at your own risk...

Is this how we teach our children to resolve conflict?


And are Gothamist readers really this racist? Stop cutting social service funding for low-income families and marginalizing disadvantaged youth and they'll stop assaulting you and stealing from you out of retaliation for your good fortune.

You know, some of you intelligent folks are repeating yourselves.

I'd love to see the look on your faces if you ever got caught in a slum in Moscow, Belfast, Istanbul, Lyon, Mexico City, etc., and realized too late that slums seem to produce violent teenagers of every color. Those girls are sociopathic jerks who should be arrested and sent to jail for assault. But it's got nothing to do with blackness, you tools.

Here's a tip for all of you who want to stand your ground and not slither away into another car. Put your hands up and loudly say, "Look, I'm not looking for trouble, and I don't want to fight you!" This way, when and if shit starts to hit the fan, people heard what you loudly stated. Two things will happen - they'll back off and you'll be ok, or they'll start fighting, whereupon you should start swinging for the fences.

Aydios,

I believe one way to cut down on disadvantaged youths is to cut their balls off so they don't keep creating disadvantaged youths. Make sense to you?

actually if you really watch the video you'll notice that the guy actually sits down and then slides over the the two girls. he then motions like he's going to take his coat off, a typical i'm-ready-to-fight gesture, which then prompts one girl to stand up and yell "are you buggin?" so who knows he if was even provoking the fight BECAUSE if you continue watching he later gets up and approaches the girl with the doo-rag whose held back by her friend after she threatens to "f**k him up". what does the genius guy do? he stands up and approaches her. this guy is a moron and looks intoxicated. why throw yourself in the bull ring when you're wearing a red cape and drunk off your @$$ is the real question.

These young ladies will most likely be knocked up before the age of 20 and be on welfare.

What is with the black community and violence? All it seems like they do is fight with each other and other people. Go get an education and make something of yourself.

And are Gothamist readers really this racist? Stop cutting social service funding for low-income families and marginalizing disadvantaged youth and they'll stop assaulting you and stealing from you out of retaliation for your good fortune.

More like HARD FUCKING WORK. Ever hear of something called struggling?

Steven: "What is with the black community and violence? All it seems like they do is fight with each other and other people. Go get an education and make something of yourself."

is that a direct quote from Mandy Moore? did she say that in that movie where she was banging the two dudes at the same time and in the next scene she walked in on her mom having her first orgasm with the father one of the dudes she was banging?

it's all over the news,
they're looking for the victim and want him to come forward. odd that they clearly zoom in on the victim and not the perpetrators.
they should zoom in on the doo rag perp,
in other news, unemployed fired white boy goes berserk with a rifle, yep, that oughta do some damage and it did. killed 8.
you want damage, go with a rifle, one shot one kill.
and don't write checks your body can't cash.
permission for fly by denied.


All teenagers need to be caged and sedated until they can learn to act like functioning human beings and not petty thugs who belong in Rikers.

Every time I get on a train around the time high schools are being let out, there's always a group pushing and shouting and causing trouble. They act like they have never been in public before.

I've even seen a group get so out of hand with the pushing and shoving that one of them fell onto a baby carriage. If I was that mother I would have beat that teenager. At that age all they know is how to harass people and they think it's funny.

A majority of teens need to follow through on those thoughts of suicide.

Guess you were never a teen BouncingSoul. Or perhaps you were one of those who was constantly harassed.

just wanted to share a few observations...ALL of the people arguing with this guy were FEMALES...yes, even the one eating with the hat on...
and when she referred to FLK, that is a lesbian femme "gang"...which is also associated with AGK...
no not a member, i've just heard about them...

I found it strange that just as the action starts, the videotaping stops...did the person holding the camera jump in...probably...

1) Walk to the next car.

2) Ignore them. Do not engage them.

3) Show no fear.

4) If they touch you, beat they're fucking asses. You inflict as much damage to the people attacking you as you possibly can. Defend your self, don't cower in a little ball.

#101 is right.

People, it was an act. Watch it again... there's at least a half a dozen spots where this guy could push through them and get off the train. It was staged to get the reactions of the other riders. So, mission accomplished there. Nice job scaring the hell out of people just trying to get home. Art for art's sake.

People, it was an act. Watch it again... there's at least a half a dozen spots where this guy could push through them and get off the train. It was staged to get the reactions of the other riders. So, mission accomplished there. Nice job scaring the hell out of people just trying to get home. Art for art's sake.

So what's scarier, a pack of teenage lesbian afro-animals on the A train or a young midwestern white boy in an Omaha shopping mall?

Oh the poor, disenfranchised, misunderstood, youths! Let them live in the filth and squalor of the projects while they wear $150 sneakers, $35 baseball caps, and $300 jackets! Where do they get the money for that? Let's go out and beat the shit out of each other seems to be the preferred method of dealing with our angst. Oh the horror of riding the A train! We must assault those who appear to have more than us! Here's an idea, get an education, stop idolizing the convict, jailbird mentality and you too can escape this bullshit! Wait, though... We have cut back on programs that tell you this. We forget to tell you to think for yourselves... I don't want to watch this shit again. I can get on any train at 2:00PM and see the deliquents in big saggy pants with new sneakers with their chests puffed out 'cause they with their homies, acting all too tough. Your accomodations at Rikers await you.

IT WAS NOT STAGED !!!! I KNOW THE VICTIM!!!!
#101 and 105 are both either concspiracy theorist of in denail that shyt like this does happen....... I actualy know the victim first hand..he does not know who the women and he has nothing to gain from the attack.
I have worked with him and known him for over 7 years.. .He is just a non violent person who paid the price for his gentil demeanor.
Also he is spanish not white...while it still can be concidered a hate crime lets get the facts straight
If it was me I would have been in jail for violence against women, an 2 types of hate crimes, one for hitting a black person and second for hitting a lesbian

What disgusting behavior for young girls. Teenagers in general are a plague-terrorizing society with their bullshit angst. I've never met one that I liked, even when I was one. It's no wonder we're trying kids as adults now. Screw Al Sharpton, he's a fucking embarrassment to humanity-black or otherwise.
