After several threats were made the white male called a black lady the n word and she called him a faggot.</p> <p>A woman with her 15-year-old son recorded the entire incident. Once the man realized this he attempted to smack the phone out of her hand, which led to the melee.</p> <p>My two cents: These slurs should never be used in public and all involved should be ashamed of themselves. Also, vertical video needs to be banned from YouTube.</p> <p><strong>What are your thoughts?</strong></p>http://dcmetropeople.com/post/47215550817http://dcmetropeople.com/post/47215550817Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:42:00 -0400WashingtonDCmetropeoplevideofightpublic transportationwmata<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JgY3NDoshHo?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>Brutal Mugging in New York City Subway Captured on Video</strong></p> <p>Taken at the F train station in Borough Park, Brooklyn, this video shows a man attacking a 56-year-old woman.
