Poncho sounds like a very well meaning and principled - yet deeply troubled and conflicted - individual. I see much overreaction here. It doesn't need to get to this point at all.
Look, I sorta see somewhat where he's going with this, and I like what he and his GF did to help the kid on the train. But, ya know, you don't need to take it to this extreme, and when someone does take it there I find it it unsettling. I'm 6'4", north of 230, very comfortable handling myself, and have yet to the meet the neighborhood that I'm afraid to walk through at 3 AM. Spent time in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, bad parts of LA and Oakland, and never worried about it. Because to me, it's just life. You know who you are and what you're capable of, what you're comfortable with, what you can handle and what you can not handle... and if you have some doubts about whether you can handle it, you just leave it be, and go somewhere else. You don't "swole yourself up" so that you can handle something that is outside of your experience/comfort level.
One of the reasons I've always felt comfortable in neighborhoods that others might have found dangerous was because I never felt a need to put myself into neighborhoods or other situations just for the sake of proving myself. If I felt comfortable leaving the party to buy some Gatorade at 2 in the morning in the bad parts of North Hollywood, then I would just do it. If I didn't, then I wouldn't. I wouldn't go through the whole thought process of imagining how many bad guys were out there that I might have to fight my way through. That's stupid, and frankly it sounds like that's the way this guy is thinking. I don't like that, and i think it's just asking for trouble that you don't really need.
Like I say, good for him and girlfriend that they looked out for the vulnerable kid. Major props for that. But, the rest of it? Jesus, man, lighten up and let life come to you as it is. Ease up a bit, bro.
That old saying comes to mind "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". Whatever happened to the aspired goal of only using physical force when all else has failed. It does seem this individual in question is going out out his way to look for trouble, defeating any suggestion of altruism , as his own, maybe, unmanageable anger gets the better of him.
Excessively tough guy, almost superheroesque type vanity along with it. I would not be a bit surprised if we do not see him soon in the news for doing something really knuckle-headed or brutal in his new life as a SJW vigilante.
This story is the very definition of fake news. NYC is one of the least white major cities in america, non hispanic whites only make up around 33-35% of the city. And how many of those are gay?
I have never been on a dc metro in the district where whites were a large majority unless it was coming back from a rock concert, I cant imagine nyc is much different. Are there any nazis in nyc?
