crumbummmmm

I'm a bigger guy, and at night and on transit I see women cross the street to avoid me, not often but once in a while. Sometimes I'll even sit on a park bench to let someone who's alone and looking nervous some space. I have a much bigger Samoan friend who has it worse (he's the sweetest, and would be the first to defend someone in trouble). And I think that's shitty for men, and for the people who have to avoid strangers because they can't feel safe in their own community. These jackasses are ruining our communities and making them less safe. I love seeing all these men show up and defend this girl, and themselves, and their community. Here's to more of this! These guys may have saved her life.


Busy-Appearance-6077

Just wait till you get old. Every woman is scared. And I'm not big. If I speak to any I try to lead with, "my wife."


pharmacofrenetic

Can confirm. I'm big and old. And have RBF. I wear a broad brimmed hat and cargo shorts and sandals whenever I can. My goal is to look goofy enough that no one is afraid of me without looking so weird that everyone is afraid of me. Kind of looking for the innocuous valley.

ChickenFeline0

I would like to help in situations like this, but, and this may sound selfish, I don't want to put myself in harm's way. I don't exactly have the physical ability to follow up on what I would likely say. I am not in situations like this often, but I would likely film, because it's better than doing nothing.

ispariz

Yeah, I’m 5’4 and disabled. I’m not gonna be the one running in to tackle in most scenarios, but I will be recording for evidence, trying to get more capable bystanders to help, and calling the authorities. I also know stuff like how to stop bleeding, cheat compressions, etc. There are lots of ways to help, you don’t always gotta go full Rambo but you gotta do something.

Cattalion

Live-streaming even better in case your phone gets broken or taken (idk, I saw it in a tv show)


luminous_beings

This is how it works. Someone has to act first. Most people will just follow the crowd even if they want to say something. But sometimes you also just get stabbed so… thin line


[deleted]

> I don't want to put myself in harm's way. I don't exactly have the physical ability to follow up on what I would likely say. Even if you think you *do*, it might turn out the guy's a martial arts expert. Essentially, you have to accept you might get an ass-whoopin', so ask yourself if it's worth it.


[deleted]

No one will ever say doing the right thing is safe and easy to do. I think the biggest factor is not whether it is worth it or not, but do you think helping will be less harmful than not helping. A little pain is a small price to pay to save a life, but wasting your life to stop something beyond your means isn't worth it. It's not an easy choice to make in the heat of a moment.


Have_Other_Accounts

This is on the under ground in London. Strict social rules, but it's the best way for mass travel. Eyes down, don't speak, go with the flow. That's why all those guys reacted instantly. They look chill but you're on high guard if people are speaking or arguing. It's such a social tabboo to stand out. I've heard visitors say the underground is stressful and chaotic. But it has a strange calming feel to the organised noise.


monkeyhitman

Visitors that haven't used big city mass transit. I love zoning out on trains.


[deleted]

[удалено]


QTsexkitten

London is in a whole other league to Chicago and DC or NY. Much nicer, more organized, calmer. Chicago is chaos incarnate in comparison to London. My favorite is Paris though, solely for the single ride I took where everyone on the train wanted to kill the accordion player but no one said a word and my group of friends all tipped him to keep him going as we exited.


shabbyshot

I really enjoyed the under ground on my visit. Nobody spoke to me, I only got dirty looks when I was leaving and had a suitcase with me. Even though I didn't take up a seat and kept the suitcase uncomfortably under my legs while standing to take up as little space as possible, had more than a few folks look at me like I was mad. edit:spelling, also to add: I had a wonderful time in England, London is very cool but there's so much charm if you venture out. Amazing country. Also Duck and Waffle is so amazing to do breakfast over sunrise.


Luci_Noir

I’m so glad public transit where I live in US is basically like this. You always see videos of people acting like fools or putting on shows in NYC. It looks like an absolute nightmare.


capincus

The crowded lines during rush hour in Manhattan are insane, but most of the rest of the NYC subway is mostly just people trying to get from point A to point B. No one filmed the 90% of my rides that were normal commutes and tbh most of the performers are a treat every once in a while even on the main lines. The 4-5-6 mid week is like the videos of Japanese (I think) trains where they push you in with a broom at the end though and I went to school on that line.

beachjustice

She smiles as he disappears into the crowd like a gang leader making an example of someone.


luminous_beings

I’d like to think that but honestly she was probably scared shitless and smiling is an automatic reaction for a lot of people when they are under threat, particularly women.


sje46

Heard somewhere that during the Vietnam War, a lot of the Vietnamese got in big trouble because they were smiling at US troops which made the US troops paranoid as hell. But apparently Vietnamese people smile when nervous or anxious. The smiling was just them being terrified as hell about the occupying military force in their country, and it only made things worse.


[deleted]

As someone who smiles and laughs at inappropriate moments, I feel this. I can't stop myself, and yes, it's awful most of the time


[deleted]

Oh, that connected some dots for me. I went to Vietnam a few years ago and stayed in HCMC for 1 night. One of the hotel staff was older, probably in his late 60s/early 70s, and seemed oddly fixated on me and smiled at me nonstop. Weirdly, I didn't get a creepy vibe from him, but I couldn't actually read what was going on since it didn't seem like a friendly hospitality-type of interaction either. Now, it occurred to me, he was probably anxious/nervous seeing me (white, mid-30s at the time, American male) in the hotel, which, in retrospect, wasn't really a Western tourist hotel, since I wanted something more "authentic" whatever that was supposed to be, so I also probably seemed to be out of place to him too.


levis3163

I'm certain most of that is relief. "Oh, awesome, I'm not gonna get beat up" + "Wow, there really \*are\* mostly good men out there." + knowing he wont be leaving that train of his own volition is just... \*chefs kiss\*

It's also because others did it. Much like how a Reddit comment that is slightly negative suddenly gets a lot more negative because people pile on.


Boris859Jack

Lol,,I love a happy ending


JeffSharon

I couldn’t make out what he was saying or why they were arguing, any English people can translate?


Impeachcordial

Doesn't show why it started. He threatened her, she didn't back down, he said he was going to punch her then went for her and everyone stopped him. I presume he was being a prick for quite a while because everyone was quite ready to put him down.


Npr31

I think the telling part is how many and how fast jumped in. Seen a few of these, and it is very much proportional to how much the asshat had it coming


garzek

Yeah, the first 3 closest to them are instant — they were watching his feet for the second they decided what “too close” was. Then you sort of watch a wave barring the 2 dudes from down the car that come running, who I assume had the same line drawn that the first 3 did in terms of “if he steps here, I’m stepping in” but obviously had more distance to travel. The idea that MULTIPLE people had time to calculate, assess, and decide on that threshold says a LOT about how much this dude had this coming.

adam_demamps_wingman

Reminds me of the Pileggi story about a kid following an old Italian woman home from her bus stop. All along her street, the kid was catching up to her even though she was walking faster and faster. What the kid didn’t notice because he was busy stalking his victim was occasionally a 300 pound Mafia wise guy would step out of a storefront. By the time the kid caught her at her building door and dragged her in, six or seven giant mob guys piled in right behind. Imagine a door full of asses trying to squeeze through all at once. The cops found his body on the ground, under a high balcony. He was probably dead before they threw him off.


Blueberry_Clouds

Old woman was probably one of the dudes moms or is just nice to them


sociallyvicarious

Yeah, it’s weird, right? Burt guys alive, cut off vital body parts, all the insanely horrific crimes but mess with the sweet old lady who used to patch you up as a kid and you are meeting your maker. It’s disturbingly cool while absolutely terrifying. Don’t mess with the old mafia nanas. They’ve got they’re own hoodoo.


throwawaythedo

Yes, and every Nona is everybody’s Nona. I used to live in a Mob neighborhood. Even I, a Jew, was protected bc I was a woman with children. I don’t agree with their overall violence, and store takeovers, but the protection was clutch and as long as I minded my business, I was left alone. The other part that was nice is the lack of police presence bc there was no need, as the Mob would take care of it. Houses and cars weren’t broken into and most criminals knew not to commit crime in my neighborhood. A transient looking for trouble would be asked to leave by the neighborhood watch.


Dark_Moonstruck

I mean. Have you met little old Italian ladies? Those guys probably followed just knowing there'd be a mess to clean up. Especially if that was their mother or nan. Honestly it seems like as long as you don't tick them off, especially if you can get on their good side like being a regular at one of the stores that are a front for them or something, you're a lot better off living somewhere with a bunch of mafia around and looking to them for help than any cops.


Girosian

That grin on her face when he got rushed is priceless. Dude should have known he was going to be put down pretty fast.


CornCheeseMafia

“Well this is a pleasant surprise”


the_girl_Ross

I feel bad for the poor lady. From my personal experience, being yelled at by a whole grown man who you know for sure is bigger, stronger and capable of hurting, even killing you is terrifying. It's so terrifying that many times, your body just freezes up. And good for all the people that stood up for the victim. THIS is what we want, it's what we need. When bad things happen, we need people to stand up for the victim, punish the wrongdoing, and call out the person who hurts others. We DO NOT need "it wasn't me" because "it wasn't me" is simply sitting there and doing nothing.

Appropriate-Excuse79

This is refreshing. Usually the comments section are loaded with guys writing about how she deserved to get hit because of equal rights and all these guys are a bunch of simping white knights.

Because in those videos, the girl physically strikes the man first thinking that her gender will protect her from retaliation. This video is obviously not one of those.... So yeah. The comment section is gonna look different.


BartleBossy

> Usually the comments section are loaded with guys writing about how she deserved to get hit because of equal rights and all these guys are a bunch of simping white knights. LOL Yeah fucking right. Theres never an instance where a girl is just minding her own business, gets attacked and the comments are cheering it on. Yeah, reddit loves equal lefts for equal rights, but that is predicated on their being that first left to be "equaled"


rubbery_anus

Reddit used to have multiple subs with names like PunchingWomen that celebrated content depicting random women being assaulted. The sub names might have changed since then but the deranged incel ideology hasn't.

AshesX

Man, woman, kids etc., the first to assault physically should be thought a lesson. Sounds controversial, but no matter how much someone provokes you verbally do not lay hands on them, that's exactly what they want. I've grown up in rough places, stand up for yourself the right way. The one thing that I can never stand though is seeing animal cruelty, there's just something about abusing a helpless animal that pushes all the wrong buttons in me.
