It's really the husband who had better get rid of his wife. Next time she might get him killed.

A lot of ghetto people want to argue and fight over the SMALLEST incidents.
Irrespective of the woman's behavior, Crow was wrong for attacking her husband. It's unfortunate that he lost his job, but he must learn how to control himself under very tense situations. It's never a good idea to argue with strangers, because the situation can quickly escalate.

You must have missed the link that was posted by another member before I made my comment.

Lets say he started fighting with the woman, who's to say the BF would not have attacked him from behind, maybe with a weapon? Similar things have happened.

I have never and hope to never hit a woman in my life but if one of these lowlife women attacks me like a man I will not only defend myself but go on the offensive!

And anybody who stays in a relationship with someone who starts trouble like this is a foolish.

Spitting on someone isn't a crime in NYC.

In some states it's a felony but in NY, it's a bigger crime to go pee pee on a garbage can in a dark alleyway than it is to spit right in someones face.

When you don't have much, your touchy price becomes very valuable.

Really? So if I spit on a police officer, or on a city official, then nothing will happen to me?

Back in law school, I was taught that under the old common law, spitting constitutes battery. Furthermore, states and cities have since codified much of the old common law into statutes. But I guess NYC is the exception.

If some fat, lower class, white woman started an argument and spat into someone's face, people would be calling her White Trash or Trailer Trash.

Would it thus be fair for me to call this woman Black Trash or Ghetto Trash?

All in the interests of equal treatment, of course.

I agree 100% with your post spitting is a crime. You can get aids if the person doing the spitting has HIV, depending on
what part of your body gets hit, can you imagine getting spit inside the mouth. Or in your eyes come on a person has
thousands of germs inside the mouth. Hello wake up, Crow should have call the police press charges and have her tested
for HIV. Instead he reacted like most New Yorker's.

Spitting is aggravated harassment, which was a crime the last time I checked.

There's no such thing as battery in NYS.

If you spit on a police officer (or, you spit on me) then lots will happen to you including spending many days on a hospital bed :-)
