Meteorologist Klotz attacked in NYC subway

[DigitalDrifter]

I meant why are ya riding the moving crime scene in the first place

True. Today's NYC subway system is a jungle. I would avoid it like the plague.

He got on the subway and asked the teens to stop smoking marijuana. Hmmm he might want to rethink that choice for any future encounters.

Nice work blaming the victim, and they were also lighting some old man's hair on fire.

 

[martybegan]

No, if this idiot had any sense he wouldn't have gotten on the subway in the first place...but after failing Stupid Test #1, should not have failed Stupid Test #2 by shooting his mouth off.

Blame the victim round 2.

 

[martybegan]

It was more than just asking them to stop smoking a joint.

They were harassing an older guy. He reported that they were trying to set the guy's hair on fire with the light from the joint.

The telling thing is the passivity of the other passengers. Happened to me when I got mugged in the early 90's on the subway in high school when 6 idiots decided they wanted my walkman. No one helped me, not one.

No one wants to be stabbed or shot.

True, but I wasn't getting stabbed or shot, just kicked and punched.

Until one of them pulls a knife or gun.

That's why I started carrying a knife to school. Left it in my locker during the day.

I presume you know how to use a knife.
I don’t.

Blame the victim round 2.

Yes, the victim shares responsibility for his plight. Sometimes common sense....I believe its the part of the brain called the amygdala...wins out warning you not to do something stupid and you actually listen to it. He did not.

Again, mistake one getting on the subway in the middle of the night....mistake two interfering in something that, although wrong, would put you in the hospital. Who would you like to "blame"? Stupid is stupid.

I looked up the basics. It was only a small boot knife, basically a punch enhancer.

No responsibility at all, all on the criminal.

What he shared in was the risk, not the responsibility for the outcome.

NY subways nowadays are bad news.

The blame is on the people breaking the law and comitting the crimes.

Risk is his responsibility, not the outcome. All on them, none on him.

I've taken them late, and it's bad, but not late 1980's bad or 2020-2021 bad.

That’s a relief.

That’s a relief.

Unfortunately not to the people getting shoved onto the tracks.

The homeless took over the system during the pandemic lockdowns, and taking it back has been a war.

Of course the criminal(s) is responsible....duuuh....but its NYC...its the middle of the night....its the subway.....sometimes you have to let logic prevail and AVOID the certain problem.

Baloney. Who ended up in the hospital and who ended up back on the streets?
