Police are investigating a possible hate crime after an alarming video surfaced showing a subway rider yelling at an Asian man and spraying him with Febreze.

The incident occurred on an N train in Sunset Park, Brooklyn on Wednesday morning, according to the New York Post, and video of it was first posted to Facebook by another person on the train.

'Tell him to move,' the aggressor shouts at the Asian man. A woman off camera replies asking why the man should move.

'Because he's standing right f***ing next to me! … Tell him to move. Tell him to move,' the man shouts.

But let’s not lie, if it was a white person, a lot of FR would have given tacit “understanding” to this stupidity.


You are probably right

However, I believe idiots come in all races, genders, religions, sizes, etc

Everybody has their idiots, even we do.

Black people going after Asian people has been a thing for a long time. Got wild in the Rodney King riots.


The Koreans fought back, that is why Korea town didn’t get burned down.

They were guarding their buildings with rifles, the rioters left them alone.

On the positive side, it was just Febreze. Lunatics on NYC subways usually prefer to spray others with stuff that they've produced themselves.

Black people in NYC are often wacky when it comes to “the germs” of Caucasians and Asians. This incident doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve seen it off and on for years. This virus just kicks it up a notch.

Asians are willing to risk starting businesses in “underserved” parts of town. However, they are not willing to get ripped off by their customers who they watch like hawks. Their customers resent this and will strike back when the opportunity allows.

To be fair, not all of their customers are trying to rip them off and rightly resent the hostile attitude. But way too many are thieves. To add to the resentment, Asians tend to hire relatives not members of the “community”.

People ignore taking basic precautions while it is cheap, easy, and non-disruptive. Then, when it smacks them in the face they go all crazy, grab up excess, and create problems that may be as large as the prospective danger.

Prometheus vs. Epemetheus..

Or...it could be that thousands traveling from a it’s of nearly 10 million, with dozens to scores sick (mostly in clusters) until the very end of that span, still makes the chances pretty unlikely.

Premeditated. No one just happens to have Febreeze handy. Scary what could have been in the bottle.

At the least he’s confused about the difference between a disinfectant and a deodorant.

Yeah, but at least immediately, given how broadly they made the recommendations, I’d be surprised if more than 20% have actually been really exposed.

“I’d be surprised if more than 20% have actually been really exposed.”

I’m not sure what criteria was used to put on them on a “watchlist”. Usually to be a suspected case a person is found infected by a preliminary test - if it’s confirmed by a second test at a later point, it goes to confirmed.
