For me, usually the #6 train but I presume they make the rounds. Perhaps sometimes the #4 or #5. I think I saw the dangerous act about a dozen times so far.

The city needs to develop and fund viable youth/young adult job training "trade" programs. Young people need access to good training and jobs which pay a livable wage.
Couldn't agree more with this. There has to be an alternative to make a living wage for people who are not college material. The only alternative now for some is to join the military.

On the "Jay Leno Show" the band you see playing; was one of those performers at one time.


Cowards. you think everybody being alive and moving about; is a violation of life. Why can't they de-gingerficate Manhattan already.


If the entire train was Jews, and the performer was Jewish; the entire train would storm the officer and demand him to give each of them a ticket.


Whoever is running the show now; knows most people would not do such a thing at all. That is why they are attempting to pusht them around.


Also it is summer. This happens every Summer in every city. When minors ( non-voters ) are outside 24/7 as well as public employees who have off. Then the tourists come into the mix as well. Nothing new at all. Just people trying to meet a quota.

That would be Jimmy Fallon, Einstein, and The Roots played on the streets of Philly, not inside subway cars in NYC.

Because the gingers make & spend the money. Manhattan needs to be de-schmuckified. Beware!

I just learned about the NYPD now arresting those awful "It's showtime" break dancing and kick jumping so-called "performers." It's about time. Don't they deserve Staten Island-style choke holds?

Gotta give the devils their due; their neck muscles would make choking them out way more difficult.
