As the train lurched, Rakitin accidentally bumped into Barbee, which instigated \u2063a \u200bviolent outburst from Barbee, who shouted aggressively \u200cat Rakitin before\u200b hitting him. Rakitin managed to subdue\u2062 Barbee and hold him\u2064 down until \u200bauthorities arrived. \u200c <\/p>\n<p>What surprised Rakitin was that other passengers appeared to sympathize with Barbee rather than him, with some offering the attacker water and support, as\u2062 he began to feign distress. Rakitin \u200dexpressed his\u2062 disbelief at the\u200d situation, perceiving it as indicative\u200b of a societal \u2063issue \u2063where the aggressor is treated as a victim. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">incident parallels ongoing discussions<\/a>\u200c about public safety and \u2062crime \u2064perception in New York City, specifically regarding \u200csubway \u200cviolence. It occurs against a backdrop \u2064of crime statistics that the city&#8217;s mayor has been promoting,\u2064 which Rakitin disputes, asserting that many subway riders feel unsafe. While barbee faces \u200dcharges of \u2062assault, Rakitin noted\u200c that the public&#8217;s \u200dreaction reflects a troubling mindset in liberal urban environments, where victims sometimes feel \u200dunsupported and aggressors are coddled.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>This is what life looks like in a liberal paradise.<\/p>\n<p>You get attacked on the subway.

This is how Alexander Rakitin, a 42-year-old finance worker, described his experience while commuting on the New York City subway last week when he was violently confronted by 34-year-old Timothy Barbee, according to the New York Post. Rakitin explained that as the train started moving, his knee accidentally bumped into Barbee&#8217;s knee, which seemed to provoke him. <\/p>\n<p>Video captured by another passenger showed Barbee shouting various aggressive remarks before he struck Rakitin in the face, knocking off his glasses. Although Rakitin managed to restrain Barbee afterward, he noted that instead of helping him, many people on the train were trying to aid Barbee instead. &#8220;I was able to hold him down,&#8221; Rakitin recounted. &#8220;What upset me most was that people were trying to help him.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Barbee then began acting like a victim and pleading for assistance: \u201cI can\u2019t breathe! Please let me go!\u201d Some passengers even offered him water during this outburst.<\/p>\n<p>This incident coincides with Daniel Penny&#8217;s trial\u2014the former Marine who subdued a mentally ill man on a subway in 2023\u2014drawing attention from activists due not only to its circumstances but also because of racial dynamics involved.<\/p>\n<p>Rakitin criticized claims made by NYC Mayor Eric Adams about decreasing crime rates on subways as misleading; he asserted that commuters are well aware of the dangers they face daily. While justice seems underway with charges against Barbee for assault and no charges against Rakitin\u2014who wasn&#8217;t seriously injured\u2014it highlights an unsettling trend where victims are treated like perpetrators in what some describe as a liberal paradise<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2375954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Subway-Attack-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[46063,46066,46064,46065,4440],"class_list":["post-2375953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-blackpunk","tag-conflictresolution","tag-crowdresponse","tag-socialdynamics","tag-video"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Subway-Attack-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2375953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2375953"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2375953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2375957,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2375953\/revisions\/2375957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2375954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2375953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2375953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2375953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
