Can we all stop stabbing and pushing each other onto the tracks.
@newyorkUser1548237015 one can dream. Apparently that’s the new trend since the year started including setting individuals on fire on the train
During everyone’s morning commute in the middle of the holidays? Jeez.
What does that have to do with ANYTHING?
It is 10 AM on a Wednesday mind you.
@carriesmanolos he definitely has no job or priorities in life
so quick to stop fare evaders but never can catch the people with literal weapons 😒
@manhattanamerican over 93% of subway crime is committed by people who litter. Stopping littering helps stop crime.
