C train this afternoon — Brooklynian

C train this afternoon

What the hell was that *about*??? Anyone else catch the scuffle that started on the Clinton-Washington platform, escalated, and then after a few "Oh shit, he's got a gun" shrieks, seemed to -- somehow -- simmer down while the train was parked at Nostrand? It was right around 3:30, 4:00. The weird thing was -- it was a bunch of middle school kids. And they seemed, in a sense, to have effectively policed themselves. I mean, sh*t got out of control, then they got sh*t under control, without much adult intervention. But maybe I missed something.

  • Hm, fortunately I missed that--glad no one got hurt.

    i have to say the middle/high school kids that ride the trains (c/a/g) in the afternoon are all out of control. they are loud, rude, cuss up a storm and travel in packs of 10-12 are are very intimidating. they lack all sense of decorum and manners - i must thank their parents for the fine job they have done raising these delinquents and future prison inhabitants.

    The same crap goes on along ppw where the social missfits crawl out of Bishop Ford High School, walk in clumps of 15 or 20 at a time blocking store fronts and making it impossible for seniors and mothers with carriages to pass.

    Then comes the discarding of bottles,pizza plates .and food all over the neighborhood.

    They eventually wind up at 1 PPSW where the b68 bus starts,do they board the bus no, they crowd in the hall ,sit on the entrance steps and ignore the tenants who have to climb over them to gain entrance.

    I wonder what language is taught at Bishop Ford as they trudge along the avenue babbling ebonics and the young women,yes young women constantly screaming in what appears to be the best of Butterfly McQueen voices

    By the way the School and Police have been called many times and it still goes on.

    What a waste of taxpayers money.

    I just hope there are enough openings at Mc Donalds to
    hire those who graduate from Bishop Ford.
  • Could have also been a joke.

    Months ago I was on a C train coming home early from work, so there was a lot of kids on the trains. One kid came in by himself and sat down. At the next stop about 6 other kids switched cars, obviously looking for someone. I noticed the sitting kid kind of smiled. So I figured something was up.

    The 6 new kids came over, surrounded sitting kid and started yelling and cursing him out. Then they pulled him out of his seat threw him to the ground and started stomping him. The lady sitting next to the first kid leapt out of her seat and ran to the end of the car and the surrounding passengers were terrified.

    It was all a joke though and all the boys (inlcuding the 1st boy) started cracking up. I knew it was BS from the start but those other passengers were actually scared.
