A petite female standing alone in the subway at 4am is a bad idea. Also, if there's only one other person/group in the car, don't get in.

It doesn't justify the attack, but the above is/should be common sense.
View Quote
   It SHOULD be common sense, but have some sympathy for people who have grown up and lived their whole lives in very safe communities.    

    It can be hard to properly appreciate theoretical risks, when they don't match year after year of your daily life experience.

    On the other hand, instead of training everyone to be wary and skittish, maybe it would be better for governments to enact policies that create safe communities where people don't have to fear being a victim of violent crime every time they step out into public.

A lone petite female should not be on a subway platform alone in NYC.  A very harsh lesson was taught.  I hope she can heal and goes on to have a very successful life.

I never gave it a second thought to take the train from BKK into the city and walk to my hotel, did not even look at the clock, not because I am a truck-driving bad-knees Ip man - but because there is a stronk "don't fuck with ordinary business/tourist foreigners" system there.    Way outside of the big city at a MIL checkpoint, and both me and my local coworkers were not mistreated at all.   I have had many more encounters with shifty folks in Paris than in Bangkok  Of all of the countries I have visited for work, Thailand is one that I would like to return to as a tourist.

What kind of defensive weapon IS legal in NY to carry?  Anything?  Can you carry mace?

She needs to carry something, ANYTHING, and keep her head on a swivel.

Leave your 2022 Platinum F-150 idling and unlocked in the grocery store parking lot with a pistol on the center console in a sporty part of town. Go shopping for 30 minutes. Everything will be as you left it.

It's NYC. They recently charged a man for taking a knife from a poor underprivileged fellow who was just attacking the man and his wife on a subway. The man didn't even stab the poor underprivileged fellow who just happened to attack the man and his wife on a subway.

That was my first thought.

In a place like that, at a time like that, you travel in a group, hopefully with a male. She should have stayed with her friends on one of their couches.

She’s cute, I feel bad for her. It’s too bad she had this dream of living somewhere and this happened, if she’s smart she’d go back to Thailand, or come live with my GF and me.

With the uptick in violence, seeing a lot more stories about foreigners and non-natives moving to NYC and getting their shit wrecked because they think they're in an episode of Friends.

That's really the problem - the idiots from the US grew up with a TV-fueled nonsensical understanding of the city from years ago when it was a less shitty place.   Many of the foreign idiots did the same or extrapolated from their own cities and forgot to factor in barbarians and marxists.





Being a victim doesn't mean you're not fucking retarded.   Although in some cases being young contributes quite a bit.

Young asian woman alone in the subway at 4AM, not paying attention.   I honestly hope she's learned a lesson and will pass it on to others.

Is it victim blaming when you tell someone they're stupid for strapping a bunch of steaks on and jumping in the tiger enclosure?

She bought into the propaganda.  A lot of foreigners believe certain violent segments of our population are just "made up".  Or is just America getting "racist".

I honestly hope she gets to see this guy walk on no bail and major media completely ignore it.   Or have his charges dropped.

It's not. This made the papers because the girl is kind of cute, a recent immigrant etc. An attack on a regular Joe would not attract any media attention.

I work in NYC. The other day, I was standing in the street by the job. There was a guy in his 50s, nicely dressed, standing on the sidewalk against a building, talking on the phone. Then a homeless guy passes by, carrying a huge bag of collected cans. He sees the guy, walks toward him, and spits on his shoes. The guy says WTF, the homeless dude says: " I will drop this bag and bash your head with a pipe". The guy cursed him out and walked the other way. The homeless kept on ranting and ranting. That's NYC for you.

"Despite her ordeal, Jirajariyawetch doesn’t have any plans to leave New York."

"Though she’s gone back to using the transit system, she said, “It’s still terrifying.”"


So, I guess she hasn't learned a thing?

I feel bad about what happened, but these same people are the ones who will probably continue to vote Dem.

You'd think she'd consider a change of lifestyle and/or location to live....

More than most, a lot fewer than many.

Wouldn't want to be hanging out much anywhere in Queens at 4am, but have been there too.

In Mexico at the moment, also managing to avoid public transit at 4am.
