A Brooklyn man stabbed, sliced in the ear and thrown onto subway tracks in a crazed caught-on-video fight with a stranger forgives his attacker, the victim told the Daily News Sunday. Angel Trujillo, 52, escaped with his life but nearly lost his ear in the bloody melee inside the Broadway Junction station. He needed multiple stitches to close his wounds and was left with a scar running down his entire torso.(Snip)Police said Melendez has three prior arrests including one on April 5 in Queens for criminal mischief in which he was accused of assaulting a police officer at 93rd St. and Sutter Ave., and one on

When riding subways or commuter trains anywhere in the world, and we have ridden them in a great many different cities in NYC, England, India (more above than below ground) multiple countries in Europe, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia and multiple cities Ukraine - we stand well back from the tracks, sitting on a bench on the wall, or standing with back against a wall. Nobody can get behind you, and you don't move to the platform until the train stops.
I never was that trusting of a crowd of random strangers anywhere in the world to stand on an unprotected edge in front of a speeding train with strangers behind me. It just never seemed smart.

This is a case for Charles Darwin. Apart from societal collapse our open border seems to have delivered us the missing link in the form of a knife wielding simian. The victim doesn’t seem to speak English but his NYC resident sister is on dialysis. Is she in the country legally and who’s paying for her care?

Re #2....unlikely here legally, and YOU AND I are paying for her care via our taxes, although it is possible that perhaps only NY state taxes are funding her care, but most likely federal money from all of us.

Democrats built that! Their policies allow the mayhem we are witnessing to thrive. Don’t ever expect democrats to support law and order. It is not going to happen. They are the party of lawlessness. From the top to the bottom they will do whatever is necessary to get their way. The party is corrupt and their only focus is power; attaining it, keeping it, and using it to destroy. It is truly the party of Satan, the god of this world.

“Unlikely here legally.”
On Thursday in Cedar Rapids, a motorcyclist died after being struck by an SUV driven by an extremely drunk guy with a Mexican name. The driver tried to take an exit “but veered away from the exit ramp through a grassy divide and back onto I-380, where his vehicle collided with Lankford’s motorcycle.” Six bags of cocaine were found in the SUV. The driver became combative with police at the accident scene. And at the hospital, he attempted to disarm a police officer. All this is media code for an illegal alien. In the heartland. Coming to your town soon.

#1, in a sparkling example of not "minding the gap", I once inserted my right leg all the way up to my pelvis into the gap between the platform and the subway train in a Moscow subway station during morning rush hour. Muscovites must be used to that because someone immediately, within a nanosecond, pulled me up. And the swarm continued to pack the car without skipping a beat.
Of course, that same subway station was later hit with a bomb carried by one of the Chechen shahidka / Black Widows, so it's not exactly a safe haven just because I didn't lose my leg that day.

Yikes #7. Lucky that wasn't just a broken leg on the spot. Aren't the Moscow subway stations architecturally amazing? They sure spent the money on them. Lots of ugly in Moscow, but the subway stations were all different and while a few were Stalinist style with "labor heroes" in that ugly semi-abstract form that they used, most were beautiful, well lit places with great designs.
But - we had one of our scientists lose his laptop and a lot of his research data to a "purse snatcher" on the Moscow subway. Punched in the face, grabbed the shoulder bag with laptop and ran, fast.

It's much cheaper to let violent homeless people do their thing on the streets than it is to incarcerate them. And since fat city payrolls are a lot more important than the wellbeing of the rabble, that's exactly what they do.
