Video: Smoking (& Spitting) In The Boys Room (7 Train)

A tipster passes along this video of these men smoking, spitting, and loudly cursing on the 7 train this past Friday. Lets give these two guys the benefit of the doubt: they could be from the future, where 50-year-olds dress like 18-year-olds waiting for their dorm's laundry room and cigarettes are made of healthy moondust. more ›

Smoking LIRR Riders Arrested After Spitting On, Punching Conductor

The things smokers will do for a puff after a night on the town! Early Sunday morning MTA police arrested two LIRR passengers after one was allegedly smoking on the train and the other punched a conductor who tried to make the smoking stop.

Yesterday, we watched in horror as three men viciously beat up a man who scolded them for spitting on the L train.

Police Seek 3 Men For Beating L Train Rider Who Scolded Them For Spitting

The NYPD is looking for three men seen in a video beating up a man who scolded them for spitting on the L train. The video, below, was originally posted on World Star Hiphop, an Internet cesspool that's cashed in big on senseless fight videos. The site's popularity has created a sort of voyeuristic feedback loop, in which disassociated bystanders immediately videotape violent incidents and act as if they're already watching a video on the Internet. This particular video serves as a perfect example of how violence becomes instant entertainment these days: as the young man is getting brutally beaten, the woman recording the fight is heard gloating "World Star, baby!" at the 50 second mark: more ›
