Happy Thanksgiving, time to talk about things are are thankful of. I will start off with saying how thankful I am that I don’t live in NY. And, in particular New York City. The headline to this new story really caught my eye because of the currently ongoing trial of Perry who wasted a shitbird ( accidentally) who was acting the same way on the subway. The reaction of the passengers was curious to me. But not surprising. Read below and check this story out.

A straphanger was slugged in the face by an irate seatmate ( “irate seatmate”, jot down that new euphemism) on a Manhattan-bound subway, but he managed to wrestle the “little b–ch” to the floor — but that’s when fellow passengers jumped in to help his attacker.

Alexander Rakitin, 42, was riding the N ( don’t get any racist joke ideas in your heads you bigots!) train to his Manhattan finance job Monday morning when he sat down next to 34-year-old Timothy Barbee.

As the train took off, the car jolted, causing Rakitin’s knee to jostle Barbee’s — which set the alleged assailant off. This is literally all it takes.

“Apparently my knee touched his knee. That triggered him,” Rakitin told The Post.

“He was just very aggressive. I’m like, saying, ‘Dude, just chill, it’s like 8:30 in the morning. Like, who needs this s–t? Just chill.’”

Footage taken by another straphanger captured the two staring each other down, before Barbee yelled “It’s f–king done, stop staring at me” — and proceeded to tell the protesting Rakitin to “Make me chill” and “Shut the f–k up.”

Their verbal exchange quieted for a moment while they continued to stare each other down, before Barbee said, “I ain’t got time to go to jail today.”

Then he smacked Rakitin across the face — sending his glasses flying — before the camera cut out.

“I was able to wrestle him to the ground after that, and just kind of hold him,” Rakitin said. “And the craziest part was that — and this is literally upsetting, like I’m actually emotional about it — people on the train were trying to help him. Like, that was the most insane thing.

“It was also remarkable — he went from acting like such a thug. And then he turned into a little b—h right away. He’s like, ‘I can’t breathe. Please, let me go. Please, let me go. I can’t breathe. Somebody give me some water. I can’t breathe.’ And people started giving him water. That was so insane.”

Well, we all know that is the magic phrase now isn’t it? All that is needed is to speak this enchantment and all consequences of your actions are erased as well as all guilt. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that you can not be able to breathe but yet still speak and drink water. Medical science was indeed changed forever over this revelation.

“People started helping [Barbee],” Rakitin added. “And they were like, ‘Dude, just let him go. Let him go.’ I’m like, ‘Are you crazy?’ Like, if I let him go, he’s just gonna get up and hit me again. Like, I don’t want that.” See, what Rakitin is just now understanding is that he does not live in a sane and rational city. He is now coming to realize what has happened to this country the last 20-ish years.

Rakitin continued to pin Barbee down until the train pulled into the next station. Once police arrived, they hauled the aggressor away. This actually blew my mind. I fully expected the wrong man to be hauled off to the gulag for having the audacity to stop a young future NASA engineer from beating the shit out of him for committing the crime of disrespect via inadvertent knee brushing.

“They asked me if I want to press charges. I said, ‘Yeah, why not?’ Like, this person, he can’t just walk around punching people,” Rakitin said.

Barbee, a Brooklyn resident with no prior arrests, was charged with third-degree assault.

Rakitin was left with lacerations and scratches to his face, but declined medical attention.

He said the attack should come as no surprise to anyone.

“To be honest, like everybody sees the way the city is — it’s not like it’s changing. I already saw that the city is like this, that you’re in a constant danger of aggression or violent crime,” he said.

“It’s not like it’s changing. It’s just kind of reaffirming that that’s the way the city is.” Yeah,

Now, I sauntered into the comments of the NYpost and was surprised to see some of the open discussion. DISAVOW!! I would never, ever say such things! The readers of the post have really went down hill since Trump won. So sad…

And it went on and on like this.
