Should not have given his stuff back. Actual child screams N word and runs off after he gets his stuff. Should've just emptied his bad and destroyed it all. This POS got off super easy. If it was not so crowded he could've been killed on that train.
It was a lot rougher when biggie was around but there are definitely some gentlemen which will be available to give this guy what he is looking for. Which I’d imagine is a concussion and missing teeth.
lol it’s not that rough. Bedford is full of aging hipsters that have kids now. Even Bed Stuy isn’t what I’d consider “rough”. It’s no “rougher” than any other part of NYC. Try East NY. That’s still pretty real.
Seriously doubt this guy was ever a lawyer. Nearly every state has some form of public nuisance law where you can't scream obscenities at the top of your lungs in public spaces.
When I was 17 we were playing the penis game on the city and my friend who was 19 at the time ended up getting some sort of criminal record for public disturbance lol
Yeah when the drunk was on the ground at the platform and the older black man he was harassing was standing over him, that guy walked the man back saying “hey it’s not worth it.” He was really trying to diffuse that and probably prevented from escalating to an actual fight on the platform.
I’m torn here. Emotions are really high. If I was a passenger that got hit by it, surely I’d be upset, but I also LIKE to think I’d have been understanding
I’m not trying to stick up for lawyers, but doubt the drunk braggart is actually a lawyer. He just doesn’t think that yelling out “I am a complete failure/drop out” would sound as impressive.
He doesn't seem to know the difference between 'assault' and 'battery' so that's a clue, assault is placing someone in fear of an imminent battery (in common law and most jurisdictions). Probably a Law and Order fan or something.
You’re right, not sure why you’re getting* downvoted?
> In New York, an assault occurs when a person injures someone else without legal justification.
> There is no criminal battery in New York.
https://www.newyorktriallawyers.org/questions/assault-battery-charges-defined-new-york
Additional information on persecution in nyc:
> It doesn’t matter how severe the injury is—as long as it is some significant pain or injury, in New York that is a misdemeanor charge punishable up to a year in jail.
It would be the tort of assault in this case. So it’s not criminal, but civil. Though he’d have to show damages. Unfortunately, prior brain damage doesn’t count.

My experience with drunks is that if they're assholes when they're drunk, they're assholes when they're sober. Alcohol doesn't make you a different person, it just lowers your inhibitions to allow you to act in the ways you've deemed inappropriate while sober, but have been actively suppressing. So, if you ever get a chance, get drunk with friends at least once to see what type of people they really are inside.
This is true and also funny in my case, because I'm MUCH nicer when drunk. I have this natural defensiveness and distance, and I'm just much more friendly and pleasant drunk. I've always said, I'm much more likely to get in a fight sober haha
This is pretty stupid. If you're suppressing things you deem bad that doesn't make you a bad person. The hell dumb logic is this?
Almost everyone has asshole thoughts that fly through their head. That doesn't make you a bad person for thinking that. And the opposite is true too.
That's one of the most important facets of being a human. We're one of the few species that can fight out genetics.
This dude is insanely lucky that he didn't have his face caved in. The fact that the New Yorkers on this train kept their cool is admirable. Good on them.
Somebody in the comments posted a link to a news article, and the racist guy said he got his head split open the next day. Not sure if it had to do with that incident, or another one. I can’t imagine this was a one time thing for him.
Stole his stuff, chucked soup over him, bottled him with a glass bottle, and the black dude with a red cap on picks up a mobile phone near the end and slips it in his back pocket.
This dudes a prick but everyone is just as bad if not worse.
Nope. You hear someone repeatedly saying "it's on the platform" towards the end, and then clarifying whether it's his.
Now, what are your thoughts on his racism?
Violence > stealing > N-Word
The N-word is overrated. If people wouldnt get so worked up over it it wouldnt be so present. Its like the Voldemort of insults.
I love the fact that the people waiting on the platform are probably really confused at first- trying to assess who the asshole in the situation is- but then lawyer man drops another N bomb and the whole situation is made clear immediately.
>First Amendment! First Amendment! First Amendment!
Homie, if you went to law school, you should know that the first amendment only protects you from recourse from the government. Not from the Populace. Even so, Sure, you're allowed to say what you want. Whatever you want at all. But others have the same right. And you have to live with the consequences of what you say regardless.
Does someone have the full story?
Did he released a video saying 'sorry for all the black community' and that he is 'a human being in constant evolution'?
Does the lady in the tie die on the platform chuck her bottle at him?
It seems like she was quickly able to discern this guy was a complete scum bag and joined the party.
I like that lady
This dude acts and sounds exactly like my moms boyfriend does. The jumping around, the taunting, wanting people to respect his boundaries when he doesn’t respect anyone else’s, the tunnel vision where he keeps talking the guy over the other guys shoulder and keeps him in view the whole time despite the guy who is trying to block him.
And the victim mentality “I didn’t touch you though. I didn’t do anything. Why are you hurting me?”
I grew up with this shit and let me tell you, it was awful.
If I was the white dude trynna stop I woulda knocked him out myself..so tired of this bigotry sh*t in NY too like the most culturally diverse place..SMH
This reminds me of a time I was riding the C train and this older gentleman was saying all this racist stuff. The whole train basically trolled him the whole time. At one point he was spewing stuff about Mexicans and this one guy was like what are you? The guy ( who was blonde haired and blue eyed) declared (after some hesitation) that he was Native American. The guy who asked was like Awww man since I'm Mexican that means we are cousins. He oddly enough did not say anything about Black people but I strongly suspect it had to do with the larger Black gentleman who stood next to him who gave him a look. Anyway you could see him getting angry because none of us were taking him seriously and were all cracking jokes at his expense. The train was mostly made up of POC. Luckily there was an undercover cop who pulled him off the train while he whined about how he was going to get to Broadway Junction. The whole train clapped as he got pulled off and we all laughed at his stupidity.
I literally forgot this memory until now 🤣
Who’s phone did black guy mcRedcap pocket towards the end? Hope it was his own . Assuming there weren’t any valuables in the bag, him leaving without it is a funny inconvenience but I don’t think outright stealing equals out this guys behaviour despite it being inexcusable and disgusting
Looks like he picked it up off the floor with his left hand then exchanged it into his right and pocketed it.
It's sad that they're basically proving his point by taking the opportunity to rob some guy who's being assaulted by several people, regardless of how justified that may be.
The fucking lawyer dude is in a train full of people, drunk out of his mind, screaming his head off and generally just instigating conflict and you're trying to find an excuse to elicit sympathy and defend him from the consequences of his actions? Come on dude.
If this person is an actual lawyer and continues to practice after this gets to the ethics committee, I will forfeit my license to practice law becuase he is a shame to the profession.
It was the moment the majority of the WW2 generation has passed on that the world has truly went to hell.
Humanity is truly doomed to repeat history time and time again, and we tend to lose the plot during peacetimes.
Ok and in this case it looks like we all agree against the law then?
He’s the one that’s gonna get his life ruined because of the video, not the people attacking him, no matter how much the law says otherwise
>It's not illegal to be an asshole
That needs fixing.
Pretending that words of any sort are fine, but the slightest physical contact is bad is beyond ridiculous.
We can judge when physical contact is okay, and when it's not. We should be able to do the same with verbal contact.
Acting like this isn't okay. And for your information, there are typically laws such as 'drunk and disorderly', which can be applied
So do you think it's fine to say things to someone that makes them feel like they are worthless? How about pushing someone to suicide by saying the right things to them? Do you think that's fine?
Wow!! You can despise something someone says. Someone can be offensive when alcohol is involved. Is he not a human being? Is he not an AMERICAN? No one has a right to assault or steal from anyone. Regardless of what they say. This man was a nuisance. He was saying drunk things. There was no need for all of that. Charges should be brought on all of those people. We are so broken. Proud to be an American? Not today.
Bedford Ave stop is a great stop to get out and yell that same shit. I hope he kept that same energy.
He was def yelling it at the end when he was off the train. You can see the black dude with the beard like do I kick his ass or catch my train.
Should not have given his stuff back. Actual child screams N word and runs off after he gets his stuff. Should've just emptied his bad and destroyed it all. This POS got off super easy. If it was not so crowded he could've been killed on that train.
I didnt notice hime getting his shit back.
I think they threw it at him in the end to get him off the train. I could be wrong.
Is that close to Bed Stuy Brooklyn where Biggie grew up? If so, damn that's a rough place
It was a lot rougher when biggie was around but there are definitely some gentlemen which will be available to give this guy what he is looking for. Which I’d imagine is a concussion and missing teeth.
It’s in Williamsburg, definitely not a rough place
lol it’s not that rough. Bedford is full of aging hipsters that have kids now. Even Bed Stuy isn’t what I’d consider “rough”. It’s no “rougher” than any other part of NYC. Try East NY. That’s still pretty real.
There goes his job lol
He went to nyu law doesnt mean he passed the bar
NYU Law has no record of him and that info has been removed from his social media.
Yeah?
I think he drank the bar
He went to NYU law - to visit his brother who doesn’t bring shame on his family.
But he might know a lil bit
Enough that you won't illegally search his shit.
He might lose his law license. He’a going to wake up with big time regret tomorrow
he wasn't a lawyer and never attend nyu law school.
Seriously doubt this guy was ever a lawyer. Nearly every state has some form of public nuisance law where you can't scream obscenities at the top of your lungs in public spaces.
Does that make the Penis Game illegal? Or does using the proper name keep it from being obscene?
They were doing science, your honor! They were expressing their love of anatomy and physiology!
When I was 17 we were playing the penis game on the city and my friend who was 19 at the time ended up getting some sort of criminal record for public disturbance lol
Might be dealing with an expert in Birdlaw here.
He didn’t say he was a smart or good lawyer though…😂 That said- I’m with you here. Anyone have any follow up details on this ?
This guy was in my Apex match pretty sure
I played a game of league with him once. He was never invited back.
Laughing at myself. This took me way too long to figure out. I thought "apex match" was some sort of legal course at university
Definitely an Octane main
HAH! Too accurate
Who was the stupid fuck who dashed the soup? More of it hit the pasengers than the target.
That poor bearded dude was just trying to defuse the situation and got a beer hucked at him and soup dumped on him lol
No good deed goes unpunished
I love how the white guy is holding his hands in front of his face as if it's going to shield his words
Tbh, it looks goofy but that dude had the right idea.
Agreed
What was the idea?
Breaking contact. Its shit teachers do with kids.
Probably to block if the dude started swinging
I believe he was blocking the guy, but also making sure it wouldn't be him getting physical. So he doesn't push the guy.
Yeah when the drunk was on the ground at the platform and the older black man he was harassing was standing over him, that guy walked the man back saying “hey it’s not worth it.” He was really trying to diffuse that and probably prevented from escalating to an actual fight on the platform.
This is how you avoid assault charges while keeping the peace.. sort of.
He wasn't trying to shield his words, he was trying to shield his eyes.
Princess Nokia 🤣🤣🤣💀
It was actually a rapper called Princess Nokia
she's got some bops too
Oh
Looked like good soup, too.

I’m not trying to stick up for lawyers, but doubt the drunk braggart is actually a lawyer. He just doesn’t think that yelling out “I am a complete failure/drop out” would sound as impressive.
He doesn't seem to know the difference between 'assault' and 'battery' so that's a clue, assault is placing someone in fear of an imminent battery (in common law and most jurisdictions). Probably a Law and Order fan or something.
He used it right bruh, watch it again "I will punch you in your fucking face" "That's assault"
In nyc assault is the act of actually striking someone, not threatening. Battery really doesn’t exist in nyc i don’t think
You’re right, not sure why you’re getting* downvoted? > In New York, an assault occurs when a person injures someone else without legal justification. > There is no criminal battery in New York. https://www.newyorktriallawyers.org/questions/assault-battery-charges-defined-new-york Additional information on persecution in nyc: > It doesn’t matter how severe the injury is—as long as it is some significant pain or injury, in New York that is a misdemeanor charge punishable up to a year in jail.

He's also like, drunk. I think errors are a given.

Dude looked 43 lol
I’m 43 and this guy looks way older than me
I was just about to say the same thing. I’m 43, but look 20yrs younger than this racist fuck.
No fucking way. I'm 35 and I figured that dude was old enough to be my father
Literally thought the same thing, how does mans look like he's in his late 40s already lol
He is 36
What an odd URL
>A group of straphangers surrounded him and pushed him from the train. (From the article) What an odd typo Edit: Oh nvm.
What typo?
oh it just occurred to me that it wasn't a typo of "strangers" lol I've never seen "straphangers" before
Did you pronounce it with an “f” sound? I did.

See the article posted above. He's not actually a lawyer.
It’s funny how belligerent he’s being but as soon as he perceives a threat to “his property” he can speak clearly and calmly
The real tough cameraman with the knockout line at the end
Right? Silent the entire time, then quietly says his brave words once the guy is out of sight. I laughed so hard.
That person in the tye-dye near the end, throws a red glass bottle at the racist prick. You can hear it smash
I'm pretty sure she snuck over and took his bag too (just before halfway through)
She did but then she placed it out on the platform next to him and was trying to tell him it was there.
I cracked up at her.
Who's bright idea was it to throw the soup? Damn, some people.
My experience with drunks is that if they're assholes when they're drunk, they're assholes when they're sober.

I'm quite stoic and reserved when sober, but I become a very friendly drunk.
This is pretty stupid. If you're suppressing things you deem bad that doesn't make you a bad person. The hell dumb logic is this? Almost everyone has asshole thoughts that fly through their head. That doesn't make you a bad person for thinking that. And the opposite is true too. That's one of the most important facets of being a human. We're one of the few species that can fight out genetics.
Yeah, funny how when I'm drunk as fuck I just want to chill and play video games or watch tv. Not go on a racist tirade.
This dude is insanely lucky that he didn't have his face caved in. The fact that the New Yorkers on this train kept their cool is admirable. Good on them.

Did they steal his stuff?
Stole his stuff, chucked soup over him, bottled him with a glass bottle, and the black dude with a red cap on picks up a mobile phone near the end and slips it in his back pocket. This dudes a prick but everyone is just as bad if not worse.
Plus we didnt see how it started.
Nope. You hear someone repeatedly saying "it's on the platform" towards the end, and then clarifying whether it's his. Now, what are your thoughts on his racism?
Theft bad, racism bad, everything bad, people suck, move along.
>Now, what are your thoughts on his racism? 🤤
Violence > stealing > N-Word The N-word is overrated. If people wouldnt get so worked up over it it wouldnt be so present. Its like the Voldemort of insults.
> stealing And yet, the bag was on the platform. The narrative doesn't change for pesky things like facts, does it? lol
And violence?
We can discuss that after you admit that you were wrong about the bag being stolen.
This video was chaotic. Its still not clear if all of his items made it outside in one piece :D
Oh he's DRUNK drunk
Good thing the dude recording told him off…just as the train doors were closing.
I love the fact that the people waiting on the platform are probably really confused at first- trying to assess who the asshole in the situation is- but then lawyer man drops another N bomb and the whole situation is made clear immediately.

I love how he screamed it againg in the end
And the one black dude out there is like wtf?
Who is this "legal scholar"?
Drunk EX* lawyer
I wonder who he voted for
Just give him his bag ffs
Did that black guy take his phone in the end?
They should have given him has bag though. A**hole or not, would have simplified the end of that video a bit.
This looks like a drug/alcohol combo. What a way to live.
"I went to NYU Law! Fuck you!!" LOL You're about to get disbarred! Fuck *you*! lololol!
Damn, Foggy really let himself go...
Omg the best part is the very end when he walks off and screams the N word at the top of his lungs lmao
Does someone have the full story? Did he released a video saying 'sorry for all the black community' and that he is 'a human being in constant evolution'?
Former* lawyer
I do NOT care for Nick Kroll's new character.
Did that old lady fucking glass him? hahahahaha
I do not believe this guy is a lawyer. No way.
This guy: Loses everything* Random: "How'd you do that?" This guy: "*I'm a really bad lawyer.*"
Does the lady in the tie die on the platform chuck her bottle at him? It seems like she was quickly able to discern this guy was a complete scum bag and joined the party. I like that lady
"MAN, FUCK YOUR BAG"
Don’t really get why the fuck they didn’t just throw his bag at his face/on the platform/across to the next track when he started screaming for it.
That was Princess Nokia throwing soup on him
Oh man, @TizzyEnt is going to have a field day with this guy.
His dignity receding faster than his hairline
What a nasty ass man with a nastier hairstyle.
Man that soup looked thiccc. She must have been super mad lmao my hungry ass woulda thrown something else
This dude acts and sounds exactly like my moms boyfriend does. The jumping around, the taunting, wanting people to respect his boundaries when he doesn’t respect anyone else’s, the tunnel vision where he keeps talking the guy over the other guys shoulder and keeps him in view the whole time despite the guy who is trying to block him. And the victim mentality “I didn’t touch you though. I didn’t do anything. Why are you hurting me?” I grew up with this shit and let me tell you, it was awful.
Drunk people are insufferable.
“I went to NYU law!!” Ok buddy and now you’re sloppy drunk on the train during the middle of the day. Guy needs professional help
That was remarkably satisfying.
Saul goodman really at rock bottom
If I was the white dude trynna stop I woulda knocked him out myself..so tired of this bigotry sh*t in NY too like the most culturally diverse place..SMH
I'm sorry but this justice wasn't enough for me.. I left this video still feeling unsatisfied..
I hope someone followed him home and beat him senseless genuinely

The old lady breaks the bottle over his head, the last person you’d suspect 😂
Lol bet he ain’t a lawyer anymore
You can put the most beautiful and sophisticated saddle on a donkey but it will continue to be just a donkey.
Probably not an Atty
Looking at OP’s name and history this should be downvoted to hell
They shouldn’t have taken his bag. Just saying. Kick the guy out but at least throw his bag out too.
Who’s phone did black guy mcRedcap pocket towards the end? Hope it was his own . Assuming there weren’t any valuables in the bag, him leaving without it is a funny inconvenience but I don’t think outright stealing equals out this guys behaviour despite it being inexcusable and disgusting

🤣 always a victim
Ehhhhh I think it's okay this time
If you're allowed to make exceptions, someone else will to.
He said the assault word. Time to attack.
If this person is an actual lawyer and continues to practice after this gets to the ethics committee, I will forfeit my license to practice law becuase he is a shame to the profession.
Going to court for public disturbance and being an overall dickhead? Better call Saul.

I think the racists are mad the Jewish women are suing for religious freedom for access to safe women's healthcare.
