I hope no Jewish passenger on that subway car was foolish enough to identify themselves. They had nothing to gain by cooperating with hoodlums literally looking for trouble.
That’s when a person begins to think: “Why did I leave my gun (or knife, or Mace, or other) at home today, of all days?!”
A BYRNA “pistol” is legal in these urban settings. And put a world of hurt on anyone hit. The chemical mace balls knock a person out for 20 mins— for a getaway. Need to hit every one of them to be able to do this, though.
