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

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. |
