Man raped on subway 1-train in Manhattan, police search for attacker

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

Just looked up what straphanger meant. It's just a person who stands on the train.

But it's seems extremely tasteless and disrespectful to use a word that sounds sexual.

It doesn't sound sexual at all and the term is well over 100 years old. Nobody in NY is confused about it either as a major public transit advocacy group uses the word in their name.

.... my thoughts is that the "victim" was intoxicated after a failed bussy-mission and was still hungry sittin on the train browsing Grindr. .. . he probably was down for the taste-test when he got approached but then the dyck was too musty and had sores . . so he tried to fall back .. but Mo needed that nut so things got a little sour . . . .

Yeah I was thinking the same thing if AnotherMan is asking in an open subway for some butt, other dude should either be throwin hands or just walk away I might be wrong, but there is more to this story, esp in that part of Manhattan Ock queered the deal when hittin the lick got involved

to you maybe...straphanger is a very common term in plenty of news articles, and even "strap" is a stretch when maxing sex jokes to the pt where some ppl wouldn't even recognize it

You're right "Penis forced in the mouth hangstraper" is probably a normal headline in NYC.

My bad. Carry on.

People don't use that term in DC.

idk how you reversed the word or what you're thinking it means ... but crimes happen everyday in a city of millions.

Disturbing new details emerge about subway sex attack on male straphanger: court documents

Disturbing new details emerged Friday about an attack by an accused rapist who sexually violated a 27-year-old man on a Manhattan subway car, as the suspect flew into a deranged, expletive-filled tirade during his arraignment. “How long, how long?” defendant Mohammad Azeem, 36, shouted as...

8 million people in NYC

With half of them motherfukkers being mental cases

But NY wants to have tough gun laws

Motherfukker would have gotten smoke in Louisiana and Texas free of charge

That's the reason we do. Half the mental cases are people who aren't homeless and would have access to guns. You don't understand what a shootout on a packed train car would look like.

I already admitted I looked it up. I already conceded; not sure what else you are looking for.

When the dead man was raped they never used that term. The articles read "Man sexually violated after dying on the train"

Now this this article said 'Hangstraper gets penis forced in his mouth'

If you don't see how those 2 statements feel different okay. You don't see it.

People outside of NYC are reading the article also.

It's like how Baltimore uses the term Dummy as a term of endearment. But if an article had Dummy all over it in reference to a victim an outsider would see that as insulting. Slick way of using colloquialism to dehumanize a person.

But you don't see it so you don't see it. You won.

they're only "fukked up" to people who don't understand population density.

it's obvious a lot of these posters are from the suburbs and drive everywhere they go so they're not in proximity to people unless they enter a store, church, office or bar/restaurant.

they have no concept of high-density population, if they did they'd know the mass adoption of a projectile weapon in that environment is a disaster in the making.

a girl just died last month from a stray bullet and she was a block away from the shooting.

a person can mess up their life easily trying to save their life by using a gun in nyc, you miss and hit a bystander and your life is ruined either through civil lawsuits, criminal charges or having to worry about someone taking revenge.

there use to be straps on the subways/buses to hang on to while standing when they're in motion. so thats what bus/subway riders would be refereed to as straphangers.

Yep. The redbirds were the last subway cars to use the actual straphangers and those were retired in 2003.... over 20 years ago.


Whats crazy is Gen Z probably doesn't even remember or even know what an redbird is, even ones that grew up in NYC.


I think it's common for people not from NYC not knowing what an straphanger is. Straphangers were only used in NYC when it comes to transit systems in the U.S, far as I know.


Also, New Yorkers using outdated terms for random stuff in the city seems to be common, I heard of people call the numbered subway lines the IRT in modern times

My father still calls the Mets stadium Shea Stadium till this day even though Shea got demolished in fall 2008 and got replaced with a new stadium called Citi Field years ago
