Someone standing on the subway. Before the metal grips, there used to be leather straps, and people "hung" from them.

I've been in subway cars when some idiots decided to light something on fire (cigs, money Shocked ) usually during the off-hours- but if it is rush hour, wow...

The dude could have went to the partition between the cars and smoked his blunt there. Now he will have dust in his green at Rikers Crying or Very sad

The guy was seriously F-ed up. I hope he gets his when he goes upstate

Joe Rizzo, 49, a public high-school teacher from Garden City, L.I., said he wasn't sure.

"When I was younger, I was hell on wheels, and I would have been right in there. But the last 10 years? It's karma," he said.

"I see this kind of disrespectful attitude every day in schools. The students, they are outta control. Like this guy, no respect for nobody."


Shocked

I hope that cigarettes cost around $50 a pack one day. That would stop all you idiotic smokers out there. Or at least slow you down because you probably would be foolish enough to continue buying. Smoking needs to be stamped out completely.


Yea, because smokers are always causing trouble like this. I remember one night I smoked like 7 cigarettes and I spent the rest of it punching children. Man it was wild.

And I really doubt that weed was the only thing this guy was using or at least that it was weed alone that caused him to act so violently. Usually stoners can't be bothered getting into fights. Too much effort.

True. Sounds like the guy was mentally disturbed or on some harder substances. Probably both.
