Man Smacks Girl on NYC Subway

[Straight Shooter]

First, he was cleared by the DA — and now he wants to be cleared by the fashion police.

The man who was attacked on an F train by women who mocked his 1980s-style 8-ball jacket will not be charged with assault for hitting one of them because he acted in self-defense, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said on Wednesday.

Jorge Peña, 25, hailed the news that he’s been cleared criminally. He also insisted that he was in the right from a fashion perspective.

He told The Post that the jacket is actually highly fashionable right now and was worn by the rapper TI in a recent music video.

“I love this jacket,” Peña said. “But I don’t think I can wear it anymore.

“People will just know me because of it and what happened.”

Peña — a former pro baseball prospect — was riding the train home from work Friday night when a pack of wild women started mocking his clothes and then one pulled off her stiletto boot and hit him in the head.

“I never slapped anyone before. Especially a girl,” said the 6-foot-6 Peña.

“But when I saw that blood, I couldn’t take it. She attacked me like a man.”

I am not conflicted about this at all. I don't care that she is a woman, he has the right to self defense and once she struck him with her high heel he had every right to defend himself.

Exactly. Not much more to say than this right here.

 

[Legzman]

She struck first. After he tried to walk away. Women want equal rights. Well then they get equal treatment, period!

i feel dumb watching this

Glad he was cleared, also glad it was taped, without that he would be in jail.

"a pack of wild women"

Funny, I've never had any problems wearing my 8-Ball jacket around town. It pretty much says, I'm not to be messed with.

keeping your hands to yourself can prevent a lot of problems. you can flap your lips to a lot of people and they just shake their head and laugh. put your hands on them...they go code red..human reaction.

There are several layers to this story.

First, you do not hit other people.
Second, you especially do not hit ladies, children and weaker ones
Third, you should rather walk away from unnecessary fights. (About a jacket you wear is def unnecessary)
Fourth, ladies behaving like the one in the video, they cease being ladies by that.
Defending yourself with reasonable force is perfectly fine. In my opinion (And german laws) even a strike BEFORE she actually hit him with a pointed object would have been okay.
Fifth: He should have just keep his mouth shut and smile. Or just say, "You're right, lady"

Problem would be probably solved right there.

But this gem of a video would never exist.

=> DILEMMA

he should get a bullet in his spine for this

She hit him,, she hit the camera man, he had every right to defend himself, and others.

Seriously dude..way to severe. I'm not big on hitting women, even if she did it first, although I can see the point of the posters that say he was justified...but you don't put a round in someone over a smack...or even a punch, unless it's an obvious need to keep yourself from dying at your attackers hands.

Having said that, he could have hurt her worse, by taking her shoe, and destroying it...chicks love their shoes.

Yep. People only make fuss when man happens to hit women, but cases where women are attacking men or children are the ones that have been increasing rabidly over the years or rather to say people have become more aware of things. Women are more likely to use weapons for compensation such as this video also shows, while men are much less likely to report these kind of things than women. This gender pampering makes these situations even worse for men. This whole argument about her being a woman fails miserably...

But, but, but... what kind of society are we going to have if a woman doesn't have the right to harass and physically attack a man without fear of being knocked the fuck out?! This whole episode just screams misogyny to me and is a further sign that the war on women is still going on full bore. This should not stand. If Mayor Bloomy was still the dictator of New York, this dude would be under the jail and would be facing at least seven or eight hate crimes charges. Much like Putin, maybe Bloomy will be able to re-seize power and right this terrible injustice. No charges?! Hrpmh!!!

"Gender pampering"... I like that. Mind if I also start using it?


What did that one dude say, the one who was trying to calm the hoodrat down: "you don't want none of this" - did I catch that right? And the big dude... Homes has got some moves. That is for damn sure. Always roll your shoulders into a punch (or a slap). Yeah, just like my pops always said. Niiiice.

If you dish it out, you have to be prepared to take what comes. Lesson learned???

She attacked him, he had the right to self defense. Wether she's been hurt or not is not important: If she didn't wanted to be hurt, she should not have attacked a 6.6 fts guy.

Her and her pack have been harrasing the guy for a while. He could have walked away ? Not in the subway. He would have moved a few yards away and she would have followed him to keep annoying him.
She had it coming, maybe next time s he won't mess with a 6.6fts guy.

How about a medal... or at least a nice chunk of New Yawk $?

:nanner:

 

[BusterLoads]

That reminds me of this incident (also in NY I believe) where two women jumped over the counter to attack the guy that works there and got their asses whooped hard for it lol. Little did they realize that the guy had just served 10 years in jail for manslaughter.

Who says there isn't good shit on the interwebs? IMO, that ^^^ was just downright satisfying (and funny!) to watch.

And what lesson did we learn from watching this video? Similar to the first one: don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash.

Also (especially in this one... cause he wasn't THAT big), do not (I repeat, DO NOT) fuck with people who are strange to you. Cause you just never know. Ya know?


And to the white knights who would shoot some guy in the back cause they don't like who has the upper hand, after he is the one who has been attacked, just hope that somebody like me isn't standing beside or behind you. Your pea shooter won't clear that holster, son. A solid hook to the throat from another (un)interested bystander would guarantee that you're going to mind your own fucking business and just hum Que Sera Sera (with what breath you have left).

 

[Ace Bandage]

If you instigate a fight with someone else, you deserve everything that comes at you regardless of what gender you are. If you're trying to harm someone else, they have every right to defend themselves... and teach you a lesson in the process.

It's one thing to talk shit to your friends and people who know you. It's a whole different ball game to talk shit to people who you don't know. They could be crazy. And the only way you're going to find that out is if you push them too far. When that happens, all bets are off.

Where was he going to run? They're in a subway car. There is no where to escape. Second, he used reasonable force by just slapping her instead of knocking her lights out.
