    This story is repugnant, sickening, what have we come to? Recently there was discussion about if we were attacked as a country our young would rise to the occasion. Heck we are so impotent we cannot even defend an old lady in parts of this country. I know, this would not happen where you live, but sadly this type of stuff is somewhat common. Better keep the 2A going, but they will likely declare us senile and take them fron us that way...



    "An unspeakably horrifying video shows a man brutally and repeatedly kicking an elderly woman in the face and torso while she sits on a bench in a New York City subway train. That is not even the worst part. A group of onlookers stand around watching and cheering like they're at a professional wrestling match. The assault continues for several seconds and nobody even attempts to intervene. When the train stops, the crowd allows the vile scumbag to simply stroll away and leave the scene of the crime.


    Of course, as usual, multiple people made sure to film the incident. It should be noted that they filmed it for the social media traffic it would bring, not because they wanted to help apprehend the suspect. We know this is the case because the crime occurred weeks ago but the NYPD evidently just found out, after someone discovered the video online and reposted it. Those who took the original videos apparently made no effort to alert the authorities, just as they made no effort to defend the helpless 78-year-old woman who was being stomped right in front of them.


    It is one thing for a single cowardly hunk of garbage to behave like a cowardly hunk of garbage. Humanity has always been plagued by those types. They can be dealt with. But it is much harder for a culture to survive and sustain itself when the average onlookers, who are not themselves interested in stomping old ladies, are nonethless entertained by the spectacle and most concerned with parlaying it into Facebook shares. It is not necessarily a statement about society that one awful man does something awful. It is a statement about society that the first instinct of the crowd is to get it all on video.


    If we lived in a morally healthy country, the man on that tape would not have made it out of the train in one piece. He would have been descended upon by a group of righteously angry men, who would have proceeded to exact swift and violent justice while the women tended to the victim. In earlier times, it's unlikely that the culprit would survive the corporal punishment that the crowd administers. And he would certainly deserve that painful and disgraceful death, and whatever additional punishments may follow it.


    But we are in a more enlightened age now. An age where the man is allowed to leave with his teeth still in his head, and the elderly woman is left bleeding in the corner of the train without anyone even stopping to ask if she's okay. I really wish that we were not so enlightened."

    NYC is a human landfill. Unfortunately, crap like this happens all the time there. A lot of times on the subway. It's absolutely disgusting, and the spectators are every bit as vile as the attacker.

    It's a good thing they have such strong gun control! Good job, NY.

    You can bet if the woman had pulled out a j-frame and rid the world of the piece of ****, hundreds of appalled anti-gun liberals would have made sure the police got the video immediately so they could prosecute her and the man's Mom would be on every channel saying how her son didn't deserve to have his life cut short

    And had someone with a gun intervened, they would not have the protection the new law Guy & Kelly are trying to get us, and would be sued as well.

    Haven't heard that name in a long time.

    Really? Every psych 101 class in the country covers it.


    Anyway, hood gonna hood. It's always been that way. The past where everyone was good and decent everywhere never existed. As is typical in human existence, we are all on our own to provide for our own security and we cannot count on anyone else to protect us. Hopefully the police find that dirtbag and...well, immediately release him with a wrist-slap charge because NYC justice system. Sad that she wasn't armed and able to take out some trash.

    A Republican was walking near the docks in NYC and heard a cry for help. He looked over the edge to find a Islamic Imam foundering saying he couldn't swim.

    Being a good Christian he notified the police, the fire department, the Coast Guard and Homeland Security.

    The next day he read in the paper that the Imam hand apparently drowned.





    He began to think he had wasted four stamps...

    You have to remember that Psych 101 was a long, long time ago for me.;)

    I haven't heard about it since then.

    That POS could have been dealt with without a gun. It certainly isn't required. His attention diverted/his back to them. A beautiful set-up for a rear-naked choke. He's wearing a jacket, plenty of grips to control. Hell, run up from behind and a nice forearm Brachial stun would put him to his knees or out cold.
