Brutal Girl Fight Caught On Tape On R Subway Train Car August 17, 2011 8:24 AM NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) Another brawl has been caught on tape in the New York City subway system. This time, the thugs are girls. The video was uploaded to YouTube Wednesday. According to the video, the fight took place on the R train. One girl, dressed in black, is seen in a verbal confrontation with another girl, wearing a grey hoodie, who is standing near the subway cars doors. They are surrounding by a shrieking crowd. Suddenly the woman in grey lashes out, and the crowd cries Ooooh as the two throw punches at each other. Their furious punching and clawing takes over the central area of the subway car, as they hurtle up and down the aisle between sitting passengers. In the tape, a large man can be seen standing by as the girls brawl he may also be taping the fight with his cell phone. Its only a matter of time until the duo are rolling on the subway cars floor, and at least one other person is involved in the tangle. Theres the obligatory hair pulling and kicking. Perhaps most shocking is the way the combatants are being goaded on by the crowd, until finally they are pulled apart. In the final moments of the video, the girl wearing black can be seen wiping blood from her nose and the crowd gives up another collective ooooh. The uploader, identified as iamlelan4life, seems to be no stranger to girl fights: three of five videos the user has uploaded contain girls fighting. This video is just the latest in a recent spate of deplorable behavior caught on tape in the subway system. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/08/17/brutal-girl-fight-caught-on-tape-on-r-subway-train-car/ Interesting how fights seem to include the reactions, or non-reactions from the onlookers. It is also a precursor to outright street brawls as American homelessness, unemployment, loss of homes, inability to pay their bills continue to prey upon the minds of the populace. We have only to look at the news from Britain to foresee the great social unrest provoked by the uneven division of power and money that has been taking place in the last decade. The Bush Tax Cuts were put into place in 2001, presumably to promote jobs, but where are the jobs? Do we see a rise in street fights and looting with a resulting loss of control by the police as the crowd mills about, setting cars on fire, running thru the streets, and looting stores while the police take their time in responding to the unrest. It should be apparent to President Obama and Congress that civil unrest is always the product of the neglect of Washington to the citizens needs. When will Washington realize that American citizens now need to be bailed out? In the meantime, a brawl between two females on a subway train becomes a major YouTube happening as people sit watching the fracas and upload it thinking: My life aint that bad yet ..
Good topic. (the video has been removed though) The country is indeed getting angier and angier. With respect to England, I heard a story on KPFA that was reported from England on July 31 of this year. The interviewees were English youth who wee verey upset that youth centers all over the country were being closed, and that they would be left to the streets as a result. One student said "there will be riots". The fuse had been lit and when the cops shot that guy and that was the flash point. What we see going on here now, is that the rpoblems are only getting greater and our government is only concerned with politics: the Dems have no guts and the Repubs are on a mission to obstruct and prove their ineffectiveness to solve problems: (See Texas). The US has a long fuse; we always have: we're 300 million, but when that flash point occurs (and it's coming), the US goes over the top and our supreme laws of the land make that possible.
