    The guy sucker punched him, got on the train, and left the scene of the crime. There's not much that anyone could have done.

    ahoy Hairballxavier, oh cappy!

    i don't know about that, matey.

    i mean, first off, no one really did nothin' to aid the fallen homeless swabby, 'cept that one lass.

    secondly, folk who were nearby coulda hurled themselves into the train behind that fella and challenged him and his crew to a mighty battle...or jumped in and pulled that thingy that stops the train.

    third, ye know that a single elder swabby takin' taunts from a group 'o urban youths can lead to trouble, someone coulda launched a pre-emptive strike and settled the matter.

    imma curious, though, what Lutherf woulda done.

    When a group of 10 or so individuals proves they will deck an old man, I'm not going to be the brave soul who single-handedly brings them to justice and gets the shit kicked out of myself. Its far more practical to observe what they looked like and any other evidence identifying them, get some help for the old man, and report it all to the cops.
    Liberals fail to recognize that modern conservatives are direct evidence of the failure of the public education system.

    It's pretty simple...you help the guy. The attacker and his buddies were on the train so it wouldn't be possible to go after them directly but you help the guy and you start rounding up witnesses.

    Now then, it you are on the train and see the guy get smacked....whole different story. If there's 10 of them and one of you you start making notes - what are they wearing, how tall, how much do they weigh, listen for names, listen for where they're going, etc., and tell the conductor....he can get the cops on the horn to meet the fuckers at the next station.

    In my defense, I don't condone rape as part of the punishment of prisoners. I advocate killing them. But since people like yourself demand that we instead incarcerate them, maybe you should figure out how to get these guys to not rape each other, rather than just sitting around with your bleeding heart and whining about the situation and pretending you care more than anyone else.

    That's actually not true at all. I mean, that's easy to say, but what you really mean is "nobody wanted to do anything." Here are some things you could do:

    1) Legal: Got on the train with him, called the police on your cell phone, and told them where you were.
    2) Legal: Organize a mob of people to grab the guy and restrain him until the police arrived.
    3) Not Legal: Came up behind him and stabbed him in the face a few times.
    4) Not Legal: Raped him and then dump his body onto the train tracks and then call his mom and laugh at her for being a failure at life.

    See, there are four perfectly valid options available to you.

    That's why I advocate corporal punishment. For both parents and children.

    (It worked that time.) Certainly looks cruel doesn't it? I was glad to see a passer-by came to the man's aid immediately.

    The homeless dude made a few subway mistakes: he made eye contact, he spoke to the trash, he turned his back and he was weak, that's just inviting this stuff in wonderful urban America.

    A timely 911 call could stop the train by the next stop, I'm pretty sure my favorite subway served municipality has an emergency line for subway crime so they can apprehend "escaping" perps.

    So this is what serves as entertainment today? It was funny? That kind of behavior has become so acceptable that others either ignore it or laugh about it?

    I really am at a loss for words.
    Why? How is this new? Yeah those kids are dickheads, but this is not exactly a new phenomenon, it's just in ages past we gave those kids weapons and armor and didn't care so long as they weren't messing with OUR peasants.

    Violence is part of who we are. Accept that.

    LOL. Well, the shoe fit on that particular occasion and the proof was in the putting i.e. video.

    Interesting that you take that view for this particular incident and yet you don't accept it in any other context. For example, when present with American military action, you don't just go "weeeell, we're dickheads, but you have to accept this." I guess black guys can't be criticized. Of course, if some white guy had stabbed the black guy afterwards, it would clearly be a hate crime and we wouldn't have to accept that at all.
