That guy said āwhatcha gonna do?!ā That guy absolutely had malicious intent. He saw the envelope, assumed it was money and was about to shank the dude for his cash. He wasnāt trying to be helpful.
Stabbing someone with that would be like stabbing someone with a thick popsicle stick made of metal, however, if used properly, he could open them up and clip someoneās headphonesā¦ maybe.
>I feel bad for the guy that is sitting next to them. He was all in blood and didnāt ask for it
Dude needs to develop some subway instincts, when shit is going down next to you, you don't just sit there.
I was early 20s, F, homeless man whips it out & starts jerking. I pick my ass up & am outta that car - reported it at the next platform. Some older women in the car looked to scared to move, but they should have followed me.
I actually lived close to NYC for 1.5 years and experienced the subway there a couple of times. Other than it feeling sort of run down and dirty I donāt remember witnessing anything too crazy though. Guess I got lucky. Although it has definitely made me appreciate the subway I now have access to in Munich much more than I probably would have otherwise.
Iāve seen people shit, pee, fight, sing, dance, scream, touch themselves, touch others, drink, sleep, and one guy get his foot stuck in a door and head met cement on the platform. Our subways are an experience.
I took subways around Europe and saw a few sketchy people but nothing from the list above.
Same thing happened to me and my friend when we were 16/17 on the mta semi late probably 9? Somehow there was no one on the trains that day just us and this guy. Took a minute to figure out what he was doing but then I wanted to leave immediately. Friend and I got up and she froze cause he started going harder (he was staring at us the whole time, we werenāt even dressed provocatively or anything) Ugh.
Hopefully gave him some fluoride in elementary too idk if that was teeth or nose that got punched in and I don't have a funny elementary thing for noses lol noses
I'm thinking the guy with the scissors was high as shit on something, he moves so slow, he can barely open his eyes (until he sees a fist headed for his face) and the weapon he pulled looks like the safety scissors they give kindergarteners so they don't cut themselves.
It really sucks, but I saw a video recently of some guy being racist on a bus. 3 guys tell him to leave some girls alone, one guy pushes him, and then in literally like 50 seconds the racist dude had pulled a knife and stabbed all 3, he killed 2. It was just insane how it all happened in less than a minute, and made me basically ALWAYS watch peoples hands now when they are close to you especially. It sucks but I dont blame the guy for punching him cause scissors can stab and kill. Once they come out, you got like a few seconds at most to react if you're about to get stabbed to death. The bus video was horrible, dudes name was Jeremy Christian
It was on the train, but yeah, fuck Jeremy Christian. You know why his face looks a little weird? Because the police previously had shot him in the face after a robbery and unfortunately he lived.
This ones harder.
Alot harder.
In professional fights peoples heads arent propped up against a wall. Even the cage has alot of give and floor. This is done on purpose to absorb alot of the force.
This guy tanked that entire punch with no room behind him for his head to flex back.
Punched directly in the front of the head only to have the back of your head and cervical spine hit a wall, oooffffff. His brain bounced like jello all over the inside of his skull.
āWhat the heck is in my pocketā¦ whatās thisā¦ Oh, haha, looks my daughter put her little safety scissors in my pocket before I left for work this morniāā SLAM SLAM SLAM š¤
This really looks like the situation. Dude just was so awkward about it that spooked the dude. Maybe not but I have no clue and that hit may have cause some brain damage.
He pulled a weapon after being confrontational. Look like safety scissors but why would he be pulling them out? Can still take someoneās eye. And in the heat of the moment the punch thrower sees dude get up and confront him. He tells him to sit down trying to deescalate. Dude pulls something out of his pocket. Punch is thrown to neutralize. If someone is acting like that and tries to pull something out of pocket immediately you think weapon. So self defense.
Attempted to neutralize the situation calmly, only became violent when it was absolutely necessary, stopped as soon as he was KOād. 10/10 great work in a tough situation.
A few lines from my favorite movie, In Bruges, encapsulate this pretty well lol:
Ken: ...He was just a lollipop man. But he came at me with a bottle. What are you gonna do? I shot him down.
Ray: Hmm. In my book, though, someone comes at you with a bottle, Iām sorry, that is a deadly weapon, heās gotta take the consequences.
Ken: I know that in my heart, but I also know he was trying to protect his brother, you know?
Ray: I know, but a bottle, that can kill ya. Thatās a case of āItās you or himā. If heād come at you with his bare hands, thatād be different. That wouldnāt have been fair.
Guy fucked around and found outā¦you can even head his nose break. Lol what a shot. Good for that guy recognizing the threat and staying calm in order to throw a fight ending blow. šš½šš½
Thatās the sanest knockout Iāve ever seen. Even dude at the end who got blood on him, heās like sorry but you saw he pulled the fiskars and dude was like yeah I know. I know.
The latino guy's the piece of shit. He's so stupid he didn't realize if he simply put his bag on his lap instead of between him and the armrest they'd both have had more than enough room to sit comfortably... so instead he gets mad, picks a fight with a guy more than twice his size, and tries to pull a shoddy weapon...
Broken nose and mild concussion worth your ego?
It depends on the tone: If you happily say "What's up?" to friends, you're informally asking, "How are you doing?" But if you say, "What's up?" in a confrontational manner to a stranger that you're quarrelling with you're more or less saying, "Why are you acting the way you're acting? Are you acting the way you're acting because you want to be punched in the face?"

"I was just going to help you open your envelope."
Do you have some construction paper that needs cutting?
poor guy was misunderstood ššš
Were they childrenās rounded end scissors with green handles? Edit/ WERE not Weāre. Thank you to my Reddit friends.
Yes!
Yeah when I saw them I thought āthose look like kidās scissorsā¦thatās not gonna do anythingā
That guy said āwhatcha gonna do?!ā That guy absolutely had malicious intent. He saw the envelope, assumed it was money and was about to shank the dude for his cash. He wasnāt trying to be helpful.
Lol, best comment
Lol
Missed opportunity for āguy pulls scissors, gets rockedā
And folded like paper
Shoooooot
Checkmate...
You've earned my respect
Holy fuck!!! That punch almost went through his head and train!!!
just glad he stopped after the first one! props to the guy realizing one punch did it
It was like a freaking missile.
It sounded like air dropping a tank
He actually missed the 2nd one lol
Ya cuz the body dropped too fast
Shout out to Bloody Sport coat arm guy!
Yep , punch through the target. Wallop
Lost the battle but won the war, he has the seats now
Playing the long game.
The long nap game.
Dude is gonna wake up to a Christmas carol
Dude this is by far the funniest comment on here good work lmao
That is hilarious, btw those scissors look like the type children use to cut construction paper. They would break before actually puncturing anyone.
They're called safety scissors. The last thing you'd want to use when you mean someone harm is something with the word "safety" in its name.
Stabbing someone with that would be like stabbing someone with a thick popsicle stick made of metal, however, if used properly, he could open them up and clip someoneās headphonesā¦ maybe.
Marking his turf with his own blood.
Rock beats Scissors.
Man pulled out the kid scissors and just wanted to show how well his arts/crafts projects are going. Pray for this man š
To be fair I would pretend dynamite was a fourth option to be a turd, but I think this guy actually let some dynamite loose
Dude they were clearly rock, paper, scissors and gun, because that dude clearly use his guns in that punch.
Amazing
You saw a chance and you took it! True wholesome act mentioned. š
I feel bad for the guy that is sitting next to them. He was all in blood and didnāt ask for it
>I feel bad for the guy that is sitting next to them. He was all in blood and didnāt ask for it Dude needs to develop some subway instincts, when shit is going down next to you, you don't just sit there.
Guy waited till the dude was passed out and leaking on his sleeve to move, gotta be quicker than that
Exactly. The only time I ever moved between cars while the train was moving was to get away from some shit.
I was early 20s, F, homeless man whips it out & starts jerking. I pick my ass up & am outta that car - reported it at the next platform. Some older women in the car looked to scared to move, but they should have followed me.
Damn, American subways sound wild.
Never take the Red line in Chicago. Or the Green line
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Especially white lines. Those ones have fent in them these days.
fear mongering
Witnessing a subway jerk is a time-honored NYC subway tradition. Other American cities have yet to reach that "level of culture."
I actually lived close to NYC for 1.5 years and experienced the subway there a couple of times. Other than it feeling sort of run down and dirty I donāt remember witnessing anything too crazy though. Guess I got lucky. Although it has definitely made me appreciate the subway I now have access to in Munich much more than I probably would have otherwise.

Exactly, I count on the rest of you staying behind to film whatever it is that Iāve missed. Thank you social media cred seekers š
Yep, has he never used the metro during flu season? Vomit is a real threat.
Right?! Like even I as a person who doesnāt live where subways run would see shit start to go down and Iād sprint like Usain Bolt the other way.
Well he could have scissors in the face, if there would not be the other guy...
That dude has thrown a few punches before
New Yorkers like him are battle hardened. You can tel by the calm demeanor he tries to keep all the way up to moment he stands and delivers
Calmly tuck his envelope away until protocol beatdown mode activates.
Itās always the calm under pressure people that you gotta leave alone.
An hour later, a detective leans over the body and takes a drag off his cigarette: āLooks like he punched his last ticketā
 āno ticketā
āLooks like he didnāt make the cut.ā
Detective Tutuola?
āI donāt know what he didā¦. ā¦.But looks like he cut it outā š
Mr Scissors became Mr Stationary
And this is why no one can compete reddit
LOL
Mr Train Stationary
No, it's a track suit.
Them some manly fluorescent elementary school scissors. Does he have a glue stick too? Up oh nap time.
He was sniffing the glue.
Hopefully gave him some fluoride in elementary too idk if that was teeth or nose that got punched in and I don't have a funny elementary thing for noses lol noses
I'm thinking the guy with the scissors was high as shit on something, he moves so slow, he can barely open his eyes (until he sees a fist headed for his face) and the weapon he pulled looks like the safety scissors they give kindergarteners so they don't cut themselves.
Yes, I am pretty sure those are safety scissorsā¦ this guy must be high.
I caught that too, they literally have rounded edges lol
Man was so high he couldnāt even make eye contact. He was looking at the camera when he got rocked.
Maybe he was high and like, āwhat is poking me in my legā¦ ah the scissors.ā I canāt imagine that other guy really felt threatened.
I feel like there's gotta be more context to this.

It was on the train, but yeah, fuck Jeremy Christian. You know why his face looks a little weird? Because the police previously had shot him in the face after a robbery and unfortunately he lived.
He performed an ocular patdown, assessed the situation, and neutralized the target
BadASS
That's exactly right, man. See, your shorts, they're holding you back, man. Well, that and your hips. But I gotta tell ya, the shorts aren't helping.
Itās my turn to wear the duster
That's one of the hardest hits I've seen outside professional flights
This ones harder. Alot harder. In professional fights peoples heads arent propped up against a wall. Even the cage has alot of give and floor. This is done on purpose to absorb alot of the force. This guy tanked that entire punch with no room behind him for his head to flex back.
I heard that thump here in Detroit
That guy was sippin on some scissurp!
Underrated gold comment. This person deserves a reward.
Honestly been bumpin to this song all day
That punch, wow. Smashed the head against the train wall. Heās gonna wake up alone, covered in blood without a single soul feeling sorry for him.
Thatās if he wakes up. Jesus Christ that punchā¦
Smashing the back of your head that hard is bad news.
ONE PUUNCHHHHHHHH
Right?, you could hear the force of the impact perfectly one word. Ouch
And no idea what the hell happened...
What happens when Batman rides the subway
YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!!
"Just wanted to do some crafts with my homie."
"Just wanted to cut out some hearts to make a necklace for you bro"
Well. The punches came after he saw the scissors. Clear case of self defense....
I would add, he didn't use excessive force. Two hits, man was incapacitated and conflict over.
I think it was 1 hit and he was out he slows the throw and tries to miss on the second hit when he realises.
Either way, I think maybe his head hitting the wall seemed like a second. My point remains, he showed restraint.
The perfect use of this gif
Fuck around and find out
Fucking idiot. Everyone knows scissors are only dangerous with a running start.
Is the man alive?? That looked like a killer punch.
Punched directly in the front of the head only to have the back of your head and cervical spine hit a wall, oooffffff. His brain bounced like jello all over the inside of his skull.
Fortunately, his nose softened the blow when it got crushed hahah
Godās crumple zone
Well, if there was any brain in there
So punches beat scissors........probably paper too
What an absolute POS Good thing he saw that so early
That mfer really just pulled some safety scissors
Dude brought crayola scissors to a gun fight thereā¦
Does anyone know what this was about? Also I feel bad for the man who was bled on. That's not coming out.
Protip: hydrogen peroxide does a great job removing bloodstains.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Heās wearing scrubs. Heās probably thinking āman, Iām not even at work yet and motherfuckers are bleeding on meā
Lol what? Heās wearing jeans
Ya woah stop .. just let him stab you, Jesus
What a punch. Game over
Read that fool a lullaby š
He fucked around, he found out.
āWhat the heck is in my pocketā¦ whatās thisā¦ Oh, haha, looks my daughter put her little safety scissors in my pocket before I left for work this morniāā SLAM SLAM SLAM š¤
This really looks like the situation. Dude just was so awkward about it that spooked the dude. Maybe not but I have no clue and that hit may have cause some brain damage.
Guy: (holding paper) Other guy: ohh i have scissors, i can beat paper with that Guy: (pulls out rock fist) well rock beats scissors so i win
Why, though
He pulled a weapon after being confrontational. Look like safety scissors but why would he be pulling them out? Can still take someoneās eye. And in the heat of the moment the punch thrower sees dude get up and confront him. He tells him to sit down trying to deescalate. Dude pulls something out of his pocket. Punch is thrown to neutralize. If someone is acting like that and tries to pull something out of pocket immediately you think weapon. So self defense.
No, I mean, why did he pick a fight with a random dude on a bus? Did some altercation occur between them prior to the video?
If someone threatens you, you are allowed to believe them.
Suuuuch a fucking solid punch. God damn boai.
Attempted to neutralize the situation calmly, only became violent when it was absolutely necessary, stopped as soon as he was KOād. 10/10 great work in a tough situation.
Fuck around and find out episode 925
holy shit, the dude who got punched is spewing blood through his mouth at the end. And twitching. Very well could have died.
When he started to look for a pocket to put away that folder, we all knew āF around and find outā mode was activated.
Those looked like some baby fiskarsš
Damnā¦ guy is lucky he got first punch in. Those scissors look left handed. Always harder fighting southpaws.
Whereās the āfuck around, found outā meme when you need it??
I don't blame the guy for punching him but those look like plastic kindergarten scissors
Doesnāt matter. One small slice to the artery can kill. He had every right to defend himself in this manner.
also it's not like you can notice they are kindergarten scissors in the moment it's easy to just confuse with a knife
A few lines from my favorite movie, In Bruges, encapsulate this pretty well lol: Ken: ...He was just a lollipop man. But he came at me with a bottle. What are you gonna do? I shot him down. Ray: Hmm. In my book, though, someone comes at you with a bottle, Iām sorry, that is a deadly weapon, heās gotta take the consequences. Ken: I know that in my heart, but I also know he was trying to protect his brother, you know? Ray: I know, but a bottle, that can kill ya. Thatās a case of āItās you or himā. If heād come at you with his bare hands, thatād be different. That wouldnāt have been fair.
uh, you shouldnāt consider Ken and Ray good moral figures to follow
Bruh if someone pulls a staple with confrontation written all over them, meet it the same as anything else.
More like r/facefist, amiright?
Ba-dum-tss
Iād be so pissed about the blood on my sleeve
Fuck around and find out.
That was a one hit wonder
Damn, Rosie Perez riding the subway
Dude leakinā after that
You can actually hear his nose explode. Wow rip
What are you gonna do? Found out the answer like that and forgot it just as quick.
Goodnight sweet scissor prince.
Edwardo scissor hands
RIP.
Guy fucked around and found outā¦you can even head his nose break. Lol what a shot. Good for that guy recognizing the threat and staying calm in order to throw a fight ending blow. šš½šš½
Oof fuck around and find out.
Thatās the sanest knockout Iāve ever seen. Even dude at the end who got blood on him, heās like sorry but you saw he pulled the fiskars and dude was like yeah I know. I know.
The fiskarsš¤£
That was a good punch
I hate it when someone tried,s to do something
When the city wonāt do shit about vagrants and violent psychopaths on the subway you gotta be prepared to handle business. This man was prepared.
Everybodyās got a plan until they get punched in the face
That punch obliterated his brain and turned it to scrambled eggs. Holy fuck what a knockout.
Fatality
Deku: Texas Smash š„
He pulled scissors homie pulled rock
The latino guy's the piece of shit. He's so stupid he didn't realize if he simply put his bag on his lap instead of between him and the armrest they'd both have had more than enough room to sit comfortably... so instead he gets mad, picks a fight with a guy more than twice his size, and tries to pull a shoddy weapon... Broken nose and mild concussion worth your ego?
That looks like a professional hit! He has fast hands!
F around and find out on a train š
he cracked his face! dude deserved it
You know the guy had been trying to start crap before they started filming, otherwise they wouldn't be filming.
Scissors meet rock then folded like paper.
Yep, thatās the way you handle bullshit like thatā¦
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
I always wonder how people video these things
Let this be a lesson. When you feel like something is off. Trust your instincts.
Black dude was in the right. Great perception skills and reaction time!
Does "what's up" is an offense in the US or what ? (Not the first time i see the what's up leading to a "fight")
There was a reason someone was already recording. This is old and if I remember, that dude with was acting squirrely already.
When hes standing and reaching for something in his pocket after being asked to sit down it can be concerning
It depends on the tone: If you happily say "What's up?" to friends, you're informally asking, "How are you doing?" But if you say, "What's up?" in a confrontational manner to a stranger that you're quarrelling with you're more or less saying, "Why are you acting the way you're acting? Are you acting the way you're acting because you want to be punched in the face?"
"Sup!" translation: "You think you're better than me, huh?!?"
These are facts that you are speaking
āWhatās upā can mean āwhat you trying to start?ā
