Speechless.
Not 100% sure of the complete circumstances. If I can find a proper news link, I’ll throw it in shortly. Surely homeboy didn’t kiss that kid on the forehead, sit him down and then start beating another cat mercilessly.
Through it all, disgusted investigators said, at least 10 passengers stood by and did nothing as the random attack moved from the train to the platform, when the hammer-wielding maniac tried to push his victim down onto the train tracks.
When the beating was finished and the suspect fled with the little boy, the victim staggered back onto the train, bloodied, confused and alone, said Detective Kenneth Roach, of Central Detectives. And even then, no one tried to help him.
“Somebody should have helped this guy,” Roach said. “I understand the [other] guy had a hammer, but they outnumbered him at least 10 to one.”
EDIT — Guess someone had a point last night when they said Philly was up there with Chi in terms of savageness.

mainy as fuck. i feel awkward giving it a digg…
WTF. oh my goodness. i’m in class right now, so i jammed it with no sound, but still. that’s fucking ridiculous.
what in the blue fuck?!!!
The Adidas were kinda fresh.
Un-fucking-real.
looks like the tarain cleared out quickly 1ce he started flippin out
Wow. I really hope that little boy is that guys sane sister or sane brothers son and not his. Who would do that shit at all much less in front of a lil kid. Shit is depressing!
Concealed Weapon permit and my Springfield XD .40 Sub Compact by my side everyday!!!
shit is disgusting
yeah but 10 to one !! the first man to help risks a lot !!!
then people can take and push down the maniac
but it’s hard to help in dis case. but that’s cool that the victim iz safe !!
but yeah no help is hard to see that on this vid. when u look dat, u like
… i hope that the victim is strong and can push this fuckin crazy man down.
u see!
I hope that this man will go to jail, police will find this manic.
WOW!!! I don’t know what is more unbelievable.. ?
1. The fact that he had a hammer in his bag in the first place.
2. The random attack itself.
3. No one at all at least attempted to help or get help.
4. He did this in front of his his son, brother, nephew or what have you.
This is not kicking the truth to the young black youth!!!!
Dear blacks,
African-Americans continue to blame white racism for their problems and misfortune, meanwhile, in the same manner as children, the “brothers” on the train got off as quickly as possible with no concern for one of their own.
For all the macho posturing that black men (especially the younger generation) like to perform out in public it is interesting to see how they act when “shit gets real.”
My cousin is in the Marines and he let me know how African-American males act during combat.
This is very interesting and I love to see videos like this because it justifies my beliefs and shreds away any notions of “white guilt” that might affect my life.
Black men should feel very ashamed of this video.
Sincerely yours,
John Whitemann
as if a white dude would came between the dude n the hammer…
How did the victim walk away relatively unscathed from that? I imagine that a blow to the head from a hammer would knock you clean out, if you tried to protect your head with your arms then you run the risk of suffering broken/shattered bones, this guy gets hit repeatedly with a hammer, dragged off the train and beaten again…and calmly walks back on the train, grabs his ipod and leaves? Not even knocked unconscious?
SMH
“It takes all kinds…”
That’s for the W.A.S.P. and the guy on the train with the hammer.
@ Wasp or whatever you’re calling yourself
What the fuck does race or some Marine grunts have to do with the random act of lunancy?
Fuck you and whatever “beliefs” you allowed yourself to conjure up while you’re sitting on the sidelines thinking up propaganda you’re too bitch-made to speak out in person.
@ the white magical devil
yea i wuz surprised when i saw o boy walkin straight into the train..no limp or loss of balance
i dismissed wasp wen i saw his name led to faux news
I sense it all the time from all sorts of people…apathy, ambivalence….that whole “as long as it ain’t me” mentality…
people are content to watch from the sidelines, instead of standing up for what’s right
everything I witnessed on this video doesn’t sit well with me
and if that’s Philly….and I was from there….I damn sure wouldn’t be proud of it.
dis-fucking-gusting
the witnesses to that brutal attack…I’m glad none of those useless pieces of shit are my neighbors…
and I hope MC Hammer gets his…fucking sicko…in front of a kid? man.
@ el blanco diablo,
dude was bleeding from his head. just because he can walk dont mean he wasn’t fucked up.
I’m in NY now and pray that if a scenario like that happens i’ll have the courage and decency to do something about it. Dont try to make it a race issue, shit was just wrong.
D’Evils
Wow WASP. We can flip what you just said and say the same thing about Columbine and other school shootings but we will digress. But yes, lets continue to turn random acts of violence into race issues…
John Whiteman has to be a joke
No one did anything in this case but at least someone stood up to Soulja Girl threatening that old lady
I’m sure if he attacked a woman or an older person, those people wouldn’t be having it…..at least I hope so
and I swear to GOD if I woulda been there he would gotta strong Timberland to the kidney
Then I probably would ran in fear of getting arrested myself
Yeah, I aint takin that whole spiel too seriusly lol.
I highly doubt that shit was random. I’ve got a friend who pistol-whipped a few mofos before lol. It was never “random” when you follow thru w/thw first & followed strokes.
As for the bystanders, it’s easy to say “they should’ve helped” & someone indeed should have. But thrown into some shit like that – standing on the train after a hard day’s work & trying to mind your biz or sittin there listening to your ipod after a cool day of shopping – wouldve jumped into the middle of some shit like that?
a lone individual trying to apprehend that monster….probably not a good idea.
what I’m saying is the collective consciousness of everybody who saw that SHOULD have caused quite a few people to move as one and easily overcome the attacker….idealistically.
of course, we don’t all think like that, cuz we don’t all have the right mind-set
and who sneaks someone with a motherfucking hammer…? me, one-one-one? I’d wanna beat someone with my bare fucking hands and get some satisfaction out of that shit…of course, nobody goes head up anymore, not in this day and age
True ^ @ Gotty
Plus you don’t know if the victim deserved it
haha
But what if the victim had previously molested that boy or some shit like that…..you never know
I still woulda took out my work frustration on that sumbitch like
“YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE MEETING!!??” :flying dropkick to the back:
Under no circumstance this type of shit should have happen. I understand dude may have been strapped or some shit but come the fuck on dude caught it bad and in front of a kid …this shit is ridiculous people.
and after all that, the victim makes it a priority to get back on the train to fetch an iPod that Kane Kramer, not Apple, invented
he probably had some fire-ass tunes on his iPod that he copped from TSS
some1 shoulda handed him a box of nails
^ & go build some houses in New Orleans…do something useful
@ gotty…u right…but someone definitely coulda cold kocked that nigga while he was slanging that hammer….and yep, i definitely woulda signed up for that shit. he fucking woke dude up with a hammer beating! that shit is damn cold….
uh oh
uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
uh oh
Here Comes The Hammer
^^^^^ Teef u r a fucking FOOL 4 that shawty.
uh oh
uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
uh oh
i’m now pronounced dead…
yo…
But what if the victim had previously molested that boy or some shit like that…..you never know
==============
They hint that in the comments of the video thread. BUT i haven’t seen it substantiated anywhere so go figure.
Teef’s going to hell lol
a child being touched in an inappropriate manner would justify that…parents would understand that.
still, though….I don’t know if I’d want my child looking at me puttin’ in work like that…you just don’t expose kids to evil shit like that…..
imagine….the kid that saw that, might possibly grow up and think that’s the way to resolve conflicts…
this is ridiculous…second such event i’ve heard about in the last few months….as humans aren’t we supposed to look out for each other…shouldn’t we be able to expect as much out of our fellow man or woman???un-fucking-acceptable…those bystanders are just as guilty as the psycho with the hammer!!!
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080731/Manitoba_bus_080731/20080731/
first such event
fuck dat. If that shit happened by me on the train, I would’ve kept it moving. You gotta be fuckin’ kidding me..some crazy aggin swinging a hammer and I’M gonna step in?? Yea, ok.
imagine….the kid that saw that, might possibly grow up and think that’s the way to resolve conflicts…
it’s not?
That’s a good representation of the expression “to nail something”.
And to think back in the day in Philly, we used to get robbed for our leather bomber jackets, gold chains and shell to Adidas on the trains but no one ever attacked us with a hammer. I feel bad for the young dude that got smashed. I’m sure he’ll be packing heat from now on.
I think the most heartbreaking part of it all is the victim getting back on the train, with no help, looking dazed and confused.
I can understand the dude wielding a hammer… the world is going crazy. And that is no excuse… he is fucking nuts…
But what does that say about humanity that no one helped?
sigh…..
Man don’t give WASP any press, that just displays ignorance at its finest. Just like the guy on train was and is ignorant so is WASP’s comments. This should attest that stupidity knows no color lines. When did TSS become a right wing site anyway, I didn’t see that post, was it under a loosie?
