dude seriously... just admit that red is a flavor, it'll make your life so much easier

This is why I used to take the A from Far Rock to Downtown in the AM and ride the LIRR home at night....

What a lovely new theater troupe.

Never talk to anyone under 30. Ever.

Who knew black girls were so sassy?

i am now 300% dumber for having seen that.

Cue the Bernie Goetz comments...

@grandmoffbastard: the cameraman knew...

This kid in my 3rd grade class got in a lot of trouble with the principal for pulling a false race alarm.

We white males really have a rough go of it.

I'm sorry, how is that race baiting? They didn't even use a scare quote headline like "Rap 'Thugs' 'Do The Right Thing' On 'Whitey's' Face".

Do people in new york not fight back? What's going on?

Hey MercuryPDX, I'm from Rockaway, too. And I used to bus it to Brooklyn rather than get on that train. A few years ago, a priest was stabbed to death on it. So, this little slap fight is nothing compared to the average activities on the A train.

Whenever anyone talks to anyone else on the subway my internal narrative starts going "Please don't let me get stabbed please don't let me get stabbed please don't let me get stabbed."

@Pope John Peeps II: Seems the only one that tried to fight back was the chick with the emo glasses. I think have a subway crush.

Midget Mac?!

@LolCait: Thankfully we have the Post pulling for us.

not to be the class dolt here but how is it race baiting to indicate that people of two colors were involved and are you saying it's better or worse to remove that information? like which way is the journalistic noose swinging here, hunh?

@Nately: Genius.

I hate all teenagers of every race, unequivocally.

@The Real JR: damn. i need to refresh the page more often.

@Nately: Agreed. Unlike "IMUS GAL A BLACK TEXAS NY 'JEW'". Ha!!

Too late for abortions I suppose. Oh well... even more justification to carry a handgun.

Is getting your ass kicked by black females a new fetish? Looks like fun.

illiterate chickenheads say the darndest things.

I only have to take the A train one stop most of the time. In that time, I am most usually the only white person on the train and (also the tallest, Woot!) That said, it can be a scary 1 1/2 mins depending what time school got out that day.

who claims she had no involvement in the attack. Scholastic says she is an "Urban Visionary" and budding filmmaker.

I remember dragging a geeky roommate out of a similar confrontation. We were at a gas station. He kept insisting that a car belonging to several sassy African American females couldn't possibly be a 1997 because the car's body type was only manufactured before 1993. They vehemently disagreed and were waggling their hands in his face.

To be fair, he was sitting there looking all punchable and stuff.

I saw the same thing happen two nights ago on the opposite platform A at Times Square.

Guys, you do not want to look a thug lesbian in the eye. Not to be alarmist, but many of them are cruising around ready to fight at any hint of "disrepect."

@hellonos: Agreed. Lock 'em up in the house until they turn 20.

The funny thing is ... getting "tag-teamed by a group of teenage girls" ranks pretty high among most guy's fantasies.

Dumbass. I would eat my own hand before I would engage with a roving pack of teenagers on the A or any other train.
Lord of the Flies is a documentary, people!

@AndIAmTellingYou: New Yorkers look people in the eye?

Pope John Peeps... yeah, that would have gone over well: White dude punches black girls.

@OrangeAlert: ha!

these girls scream jamaica avenue to me.

Good one, Improv Everywhere.

I was in a subway car (A train, of course, or "Scary Teenager Train") once with three early adolescents who were chucking spitballs at one another, huge glue-y ones that were sticking to the walls of the car. Another fun thing that they did was when the train would stop in a station, they'd keep the doors open with their hands without the conductor knowing the doors weren't closed. I don't know how they did it. So the train would take off and each child would have one arm out the door. Then they would stop doing that and throw magazines at each other. It was a lovely ride.

When I see that video, I say to myself, "Thank God for Mayor Bloomberg's revolutionary plan to people to behave." He should put "not beating people up on the subway" on the list of good behaviors meriting financial reward. $50 each.

This shit is not what Duke Ellington had in mind. Excuse me - Billy Strayhorn.

That's what you get for taking the subway to Knuckle Beach.

Just after first contact, but before the full-on pummeling, the dude stands up and looks like he's going to take a swing at the one with a skull cap. It was probably only at that moment he realized it was a girl. I really couldn't tell. He should have broke into "Come on be my baby tonight" to pacify them.

@StaciesMom: Don't wear your jeans!

That's why I foment all my conflicts online: nobody can slap you on the internets!

@StaciesMom: At least they finally took that Jefferson Davis statue down.

Once I was on the A-train and it was full of drunk, rowdy Gawker editors arguing about who got to quit first. The woman next to me was getting angrier and angrier, and when they made a "quitting pact" right there in front of her, she leapt up and shouted "Oh, no you Denton!" and swung her purse.

And that's why Choire had to up and take a week off.

Someone was beaten up on the A Train? Shocking.

In other news, Times Square is overrun by tourists, and Penn Station is busy at 5:30pm.

Dude should have just bought the $5 DVD/batteries/M&Ms and shut up. Works like a charm for me.

@collegecallgirl: Ha, me too. Or something along those lines. Then I go to other cities and give everyone the stinkeye if they ever say good morning.

@Colonel Mustard: Not after Reluctant_Entity and I have our way!

This is where being able to leggo a really nasty, eye-watering fart comes in handy. I keep telling the Mrs. it's a useful talent--she's doubtful.

@Atelier: Call it a 49th trimester abortion?

so...what are they talking about? only thing i made out was "Let me introduce myself..." some yelling and then the slapfight. and random emo girl trying to save the day.
