A crazed man jumped onto the subway tracks and threatened to kill himself — all while ranting for “equality” and “social justice,” a witness said.

The unidentified man was holding a bottle of vodka when he started yelling and jumped onto the D- and B-line tracks around 1:30 p.m. at the 42^nd Street/Bryant Park station on Wednesday, said Brooklyn-based photojournalist Eli Wohl, who captured the scene on film.

“People were mostly pleading with him: ‘Just come up, come up,’” Wohl recalled. “Whatever he did, he kept on mentioning different social issues — women’s rights and racial stuff.” […]

“He said: ‘Should I lick my finger and touch the third rail?’” …

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

(Don’t treat it with vodka)

Yes, but please let me hold your bottle of vodka.

Was it Colin Kapernick?

Wow - this guy’s mind really went off the rails...

Licking the finger is a nice theatrical move, but wholly unnecessay.

Good news pal, the subway train treats everyone who jumps in front of it exactly equally!

Omg! This is horrible!
Were the trains delayed very long, then?

Should I lick my finger and touch the third rail?

Only if you cannot successfully define the difference between "social justice in law" and "due process in law".
