NEW YORK – A New Jersey woman was stabbed in the face with a pen on a New York City subway train after she tried to stop a man from lighting a cigarette. The assault occurred on a crowded No. 3 train near the Chambers Street station during Tuesday's morning rush. Witnesses told the Daily News and the New York Post that an argument quickly escalated when Evelyn Seeger asked the man not to smoke. The witnesses say two riders were trying to restrain the man when he pulled out a pen and slashed Seeger's face. Seeger, of Nutley, N.J., was treated at a hospital and released. Police charged the man with felony assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

criminal possession of a weapon.

Would that be the pen or the cigarette?

Reminds me of the old story...

A couple on a crowded train became amorous, then passionately engaged in a conjugal encounter. The other passengers on the train watched silently until the couple finished their lovemaking and lit cigarettes. The passengers complained vehemently about the cigarettes.

Yep. It’s one of those charges they can add on and use in plea bargaining. It’s also akin to being unable to possess paperclips (”burglary tools”) if one knows how to pick a lock.

With some pens, a low-angle stab produces a slash. That sounds exactly like what is described.

Had she said that, and when she encountered resistance had backed off, I might have given her the benefit of the doubt. However,
A. She got in his face, rather than go to the proper authority. Standard Socialist smug...
B. From Nutly, N.J...
C. The police charged HIM, (Obvious reaction to a conservative. I'm surprised they didn't beat him bloody.)
D. Starting a fight is a democrat tactic. Finishing it is conservative. Running away is GOP.
E. White, obnoxious female from NJ? What are the chances she likes Palin? Somewhere between Zero and None.
F. A+B+C+D+E= These are humans, (and I use the term loosely), who think whiffle ball is "a risky sport." Ipso Facto, Democrats.

I think consequences are the one thing people dont get brought up to understand. Everyone is so hopped up on piss and vinegar and wants to make their piece known. However, most people are not ready to deal with a consequence (even if illegal) of their action.

Just look at the show Cheaters. You keep showing up with a camera around people who have the mindset that cheating is ok, and one of those people will snap and shoot or stab. You can be right, and vocal, and virtuous. You can be all that, and also a stabbing victim.

As long as you get to decide what “basic decency” is.

We used to light cigars when fishing to keep the mosquitos and deer flies away.

>> Pandemonium broke out as passengers desperately tried to get out of the way.

What a bunch of pantywaists. They could have each grabbed an arm, leg, or garment, hauled him to the ground, and, er, ah, “subdued” him ‘till the nice policeman got there. Instead, they all let Mrs. Bigmouth stand there alone.

I am mostly outraged that a woman was attacked and disfigured.

There is a small part of me that has mixed feelings, I’m sick and tired of the tobacco nazis, and I don’t even smoke.

Public school students are taught that smoking is evil. Other than homophobia and racism, I can’t think of another thing that public school has taken a moral (or immoral) stand.

I would say mauling someone with a pen is indecent, but apparantly some “conservatives” disagree.
