Wow... more fights.
What are the Dave's apologists going to do when this type of thing becomes as commonplace as everywhere else? |

| Koreans can be very cruel. Especially to each other, and always when there are umbrellas involved. |

Or bottles of alcohol.
I didn't get to see the other fight between the young and old guy on the subway that was edited into the grandma fight footage. What was the story behind that one? |

| Korea is a society that keeps amping up the pressure and stress on its citizens, and they keep winding eachother up, until someone explodes. |

Apologist and beta male checking in~~~
I dont think many folks give a poo about whether or not this type of stuff begins to happen more frequently...well, I certainly dont at least. Folks will deal with and adapt to an increase in these incidents as best they can. Even if this kind of stuff began to happen on a daily basis, it would still be better than back home where it is more frequent to get knocked out/robbed/shot by a groups of teens looking for kicks than have a few crackjobs making a scene on the subway.
As far as I am concerned, folks like this make was is otherwise the mundane daily life of work, home, work home, weekend, work home, lifestyle interesting. If that sounds like an apology for Korea...so be it. Call me warped in the head, but I enjoy the comic relief of crazy old people swinging bags of lettuce and flailing toothpick arms around, as threatening as that may be to some  |

The worst are the people with $800 umbrellas. Of course, those type of folks wouldn't even think of stepping foot on the subway. |

People are "scared" of these senile nutjobs because they don't want to be painted the bad guy by knocking out an old person.
A couple weeks ago, some old dude started attacking a highschool girl and her boyfriend resorted to punching the man in the face when trying to prying his hands off the girl didn't work. The boy got a lot of flack for being "too aggressive" with an old man.
Then later some dude attacked an old taxi driver and got promptly tossed around by a pro MMA fighter who happened to be at the scene. The MMA fighter was praised for being a hero. The difference? The age between the perps in the two incidents.
But I don't give a shit so I'd probably choke an old hag out if I saw that happening. Or video tape it and post it on youtube like the brave soul in article. |

Bashers can't even get the right target. They should be mocking the Korean media for making a big deal out of a grandma flinging a bag of lettuce and hyping it into some kind of donnybrook.
Instead the anti-Korea crowd had to go with the "society is breaking down in Korea" card because a grandma hit a lady with a bag of lettuce (quite possible the least lethal weapon out there. I mean, that couldn't even make an effective fly swatter).
Get it together guys. K-TV was ripe for the mocking and you blew it. Too much hate isn't good for the system, makes it hard to pick out the obvious targets. |

You should show restraint when the person is much older. Same as not picking on someone you know you physically outmatch. Isn't this common sense? |

Quite funny that an news article about foreigners drinking alcohol on the subway floor makes people here mad about how such an article was even written,
But, a Korean grandma says some bad words and hits a person with a plastic bag is on the news, and it's all, "Korean society is breaking down!!!!" |

So....what is this all about?
The news article is all in Korean, which I don't speak, and I am not in a place where I am readily able to watch videos on the internet. Anybody care to give us a quick summary so I don't have to keep guessing based on context until tomorrow evening? |
