Your ignorance shows. You'd have more luck catching a good fight at a redneck bar for free than on the NYC subway.
Yeah did a little research
Using the available data, the rate of reported violent crime on the NYC subway in 2024 is approximately 0.79 violent crimes per million riders.

Perhaps the HK mass transit system is safer, but I’m guessing not by that much, considering the ridership and crime rates, especially because they don’t report specific crime rates for mass transit that I could find but rather generic crime statistics

Gotta love this comic with subtle tones that “public transportation is dangerous” and this comment with “Chinese public transportation isn’t dangerous.”
Safe as long as you agree with Winnie the Pooh and the CCP

That's funny, I used to live in Louisiana. I would occasionally go out drinking with my friends, and not one time did I ever not see at least one bar fight. And it didn't matter what kind of bar or club it was, it always happened. It's just a core part of society down there.
One time I was at a bar in Lake Charles and I was watching the "Malice in the Palace" which was a big fight during an NBA game where some players went into the stands and were punching fans. The TV was muted but I could still hear the sounds of the fighting; eventually it dawned on me how strange this was and I turned around to see a huge fight going on in the bar behind me with guys being thrown into tables and whatnot like an episode of Bonanza.
Deep south, born and raised. I always preferred a rough bar. Sit in the back smoking a cigar or pipe, sipping bourbon, and watch the show.
They tore down my first home bar and put up a gas station, I mourn the loss. It was great: bikers shooting up in the bathroom, fights all the time, drug deals, meth head drama, bikers selling moonshine outside. Had a hooker OD and show up dead in the parking lot.
Met a former roommate and lover there, had to chase her out of my house with a shotgun. She and her boyfriend started smoking meth in my house. Last I heard she went back to Georgia and is doing better.
Sucks, sometimes, that I had to quit drinking.
Growing up in rural south Georgia, I knew folks that would proudly declare that they would rather fight than fuck.
I forgot a /hj on 3.
And of course I'm "ignorant" about the US railway system because I live in Hong Kong and not US
Chinese becoming more American all the time. Talking shit about things they know nothing.
Oh so it's a requirement for us to know about US stuff to go online and not vice versa?
It's not my fault that the internet is full of Americans. I'm merely contributing to the activeness of Lemmy.
