Slain for his subway seat: Exterminator stabs D train straphanger to death after seat scuffle

“He argued with a homeless person (foolish), and was punched—”viciously”? You need to spend more time on the streets, bro.”

Asking to remove a package from a seat that he may sit down is arguing? You need to use your brain a little more “bro”

“Strawman—I never said he had to. (And, uh, WHO was assaulted with deadly force here?)”

You implied it. A punch is potentially deadly and no one so attacked UNPROVOKED need respond only with a punch. If a a man so attacked had a gun he could have pulled it at that point.

“If you think the only responses to a punch in the face are nothing or death, you REALLY need to get out more often.”

“LOL I used to work at a homeless shelter. I have been in more fistfights with homeless people than you've had hot meals.”

Congratulations. As a matter of fact I've been on damn near every inch of subway line in the city including the other 4 boroughs. I've been in every neighboorhood in the city at avery hour of the day and night and I was always alone. I don't find you in some shelter somewhere all that impressive in comparison

As it happens I've been in plenty of fist fights in my life and I've been blindsided and attacked with punches many times. My response has always been fast and forceful. If I happened to have a weapon it would get used and I would have that right to do so as a man attacked out of nowhere. It is called self defense.

“Obviously you have never actually engaged anyone, just run along like a scared rabbit. When you're a man, and have some knowledge of how to handle yourself, you don't have to take out a knife and chop someone up as the only response to some homeless jerk who throws a fist.”

This (above)is who you really are. It represents as well your own implicit assessment of your assinine argument. The above quote is as cowardly and personal an attack as I have ever seen or suffered on a site. It's your biggest gun and there you are blasting away like a baby. If you were as smart and thoughtful as you seem to think you are you would recognize the pointless stupidity of assuming so much about a man you know nothing about. If you were a decent man you would see the smallness of giving into your anger and letting it direct you to public name calling directed against a person you know absolutely nothing about.

SO after your silly, inhuman regard for this guy getting knifed, THAT's your big reaction--you call ME small, and talk to ME about "pointless stupidity of assuming so much about a man you know nothing about"...after you've just casually condoned the killing of a man over a train seat.

You've proven my read on you completely, and also revealed your complete lack of self-awareness.

Dude, you're not very good at this. From your opening reply above, where you completely miss the point in order to drag up another strawman (you talk about arguing when the point is about your characterization of the punch as "vicious" without proof--nice dodge!), you really should stop now before you reveal more about yourself besides your disdain for human life and then follow it up with your wussy "you were mean to me!" pouting.

In other words, before lecturing anyone as you do here, Physician, heal thyslef.

YOU WROTE THIS OUT OF YOUR A$$HOLE :“Obviously you have never actually engaged anyone, just run along like a scared rabbit. When you’re a man, and have some knowledge of how to handle yourself, you don’t have to take out a knife and chop someone up as the only response to some homeless jerk who throws a fist.”

Beyond what I initially answered, do you really think I am going to bandy words with you you stupid ass?

Dwight isnt homeless he use to work in a restaurant and has new apartment in Brooklyn. He has good humor sense but sometimes could have temper (He knew some martial arts though has gotten to fights b4). . I dont know which paper is more accurate cause the Village VOICE said they had an argument an Dwight gave the first punch, while the others say he kept quiet while the other guy was in is face??? But D Trains shouldn’t have doors locked like that anyway
