Public transportation is the primary mode of transportation for the underclass. It is very dangerous for people not traveling during peak travel times (rush hour). Try being the alone on public transportation sometime during off-peak hours. Check out every person on that video egging that guy on to kick his a**. Unfortunately for the aggressor, the 67 year old man did not cower and pummeled the fool.

If you were not born, raised and experienced growing up in a BIG city, you don't know what you are talking about. All 'classes' ride the NYC subways, buses and ferries. There just aren't enough parking spaces available in Manhattan if everyone drove. I have ridden the subways 'off hours' many many times, always trouble free.

I was born and raised in Chicago. I'm very familiar with "public" transportation. As a youngster, I rode the green limousine and the L all over the city. I have been attacked multiple times by scumbags like the people in the video. Many times the buses were crowded with future Obama voters (Harold Washington supporters at the time) and they cheered the assaults, just like in the video. The bus drivers never stopped the bus and called the cops (guess why!). Once after being physically assaulted when I was about 17, I swore that I would never ride the CTA again.

I've managed to keep that promise after more than 20 years.

God bless this old guy! I hear that the police have him in custody. How can anyone who views the videotape not see that he attempted to avoid the confrontation. What is he guilty of: riding the bus while being white?
