A classic New York subway brawl — the city’s “brand,” if you will — erupted yesterday afternoon, resulting in multiple shots fired and one man shot in the head.“Kansas doesn't have a brand. When you go there, okay, you're from Kansas. No. You know what? But New York has a brand. It has a brand and that brand means diversity. That brand means we care. That brand means that we are compassionate.”
—New York City Mayor Eric Adams
Via New York Post: (emphasis added):
A fight aboard a packed Brooklyn train Thursday afternoon took a horrific turn when one straphanger wrestled a gun away from an apparent agitator and shot him in the head, police said.
The violence on the rush-hour northbound A train erupted when a 32-year-old man was confronted by an “aggressive” 36-year-old rider after boarding at the Nostrand Avenue subway station at 4:45 p.m., NYPD Chief Michael Kemper said at a press conference.
“I’ll beat you up!” the alleged aggressor barked before hurling curses and trying to provoke the man to fight, according to footage obtained by The Post….
During the clash, the alleged aggressor, wearing all black, flashed what’s believed to be a knife or razor before digging through his jacket and eventually pulling out a gun, according to Kemper.
The train car erupted into screams and the straphangers rushed to the opposite end, with several throwing themselves on the floor, according to the harrowing video…
The 32-year-old managed to yank the gun away from the other brawler and he “fired multiple shots,” striking the other man in front of dozens of commuters, Kemper said.
At least four shots were heard on the footage.
10,000 national guards in New York City couldn’t prevent another gun shooting & murder in the subway.

Metro trains from the 1970s, mentally deranged people, passengers with guns…

This is hardly an isolated incident. Almost daily, videos are uploaded to social media depicting similar events. Just go to Twitter/X, search “New York subway,” and you’ll find a cornucopia of hobos assaulting white women.

I and others at PJ Media have written extensively about the concept of “anarcho-tyranny,” in which the law is selectively applied on the basis of whether applying it benefits the interests that control that state. If it does, the law is applied. If it doesn’t, the law of the jungle, in a limited fashion, is permitted to fester into chaos.
The best example of this, because of the stark hypocrisy, was the carve-out for BLM rioters during the 2020 Summer of Love honoring St. Floyd, in which “social distancing” mandates were temporarily suspended to allow the Social Justice™ people to run hog-wild in the streets.
Via Anarcho-Tyranny, U.S.A.:
A concept where the state is more interested in controlling citizens so that they don’t oppose managerial class, rather than tending to real criminals. Laws are argued to be enforced selectively depending on what is beneficial to the ruling elite.
There are many ways to examine the subway shooting phenomenon. One is through a cultural lens: why do shootings and stabbings and fights tend to occur so often among the underclass on public transportation?
Another is through the gun control lens. Already, of course, the left is very likely plotting to use this incident to further their gun control agenda.
Yet another is through the lens of “anarchy-tyranny.” Subway shootings in which the peasants off each other do nothing to undermine the authority of the techno-police state — if anything, it bolsters it by providing further justification to selectively expand police activities to crack down on “domestic terrorist” political opponents — nor does it threaten the interests of the ruling class, which would never be caught dead riding the subway and enjoys the benefit of 24/7 personal security.
