Thanks old guy!!

it's not the subway, it's the el.

El Kabong!!!

maybe, just maybe, the shame of this going viral will wake the racist piece of shit up.

The hallmark quality of the domestic moron is their legendary immunity to shame.

Not every asshole has a mental illness. Most are just assholes.

Otherwise he's a contender for sure.

I'm only gonna be so many Ni**ers.
My grandfather would accept even fewer.


That guy was truly lucky. It could have been much worse.

As a white guy, I will say that idiot asked for it and got it. The black guy didn't take it to an extreme, just gave him some bruising and then let it go... well done on his part

And based on the video, he got ejected at just the right stop (Redline stop SOX-35th - US Cellular field)
As a former Chicagoan I can confirm if he was headed south on that train, he likely would not have gotten off so easy after that stop.

Hopefully, he learned a valuable lesson - People will only put up with so much.
With any luck, he'll carry that lesson with him during future encounters.

I have no complaints.

....being taught that you don't piss off an older man who has probably been taunted all his life.

This gentleman taught the young guy a lesson that dude apparently didn't get at home. I'm sure it will go a long way toward making him a better person and, hopefully, having some success in life, so that dude doesn't think harassing innocent people on a train is a worthy goal.

....because of the stunningly effective way he created for himself to learn a fundamental life lesson that most Republicans are otherwise clueless about:

I like the responses about not being in favor of violence, but...

Everyone makes that same argument for things they agree with. For things people don't agree with, it's nothing but condemnation. I'm not saying that's good or bad, it just is. As humans we justify or rationalize what we agree with. Always have, always will.

Might, in one form or another, has always made right throughout human history. Depending on your particular perspective at any given time, you're either cool with that, or rage against it.

"Everyone makes that same argument for things they agree with..."

You seem to be unaware that a visceral, emotional and non-consequential reaction to a particular scenario is not necessarily indicative of the ability of studied, academic and rational thought when called for.

A written display of the id lacking any real consequence is a wholly separate concept than that of the super-ego actually acting on input, regardless of whether you're cool with that or not.

I'm not saying she shouldn't have been wearing that tight skirt, but...

I'm not one to condone violence, but...

I'm saying anyone can justify anything if they agree with it, whatever the id, super-ego, or consequences may be, whether they're written, real, or non-existent. Again, I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm saying it's human. We can get angry. We can get violent. We all see the world as we see it.

Remember, only the Sith deal in absolutes.

You are conflating justify with condone.

The word condone does not mean to justify. To condone something, is to forgive something even though it is considered wrong. To justify something is to prove it right or reasonable.

What this man did was neither right or reasonable, in fact what he did, I would consider quite wrong. However I can condone his actions based on the circumstances.
