Some Lunatic In Camo Pants Attempted To Rob A TikToker While She Was Trying To Make A Video On The Subway
Source - A TikToker attempting to make a video in New York ended up filming an attempted crime instead. User @5minwithaurea was trying to film herself on a subway platform as a train passed by, and captured the moment she said an opportunistic thief tried to snatch her cellphone.
After setting it down on the platform, she stepped back as the camera rolled — only for a man to suddenly enter the frame and make a grab for it.
Thousands of commenters were outraged by his behavior, and thankful the situation didn't get any worse; but just as many questioned the wisdom of leaving ones phone on a NY subway platform — both in terms of safety and sanitation.
The Video:
I'd like to officially add "don't put your phone down on the platform" to the list of rules for riding the subway. I didn't think I'd have to say it yet here we are. And before I get to the guy doing the robbing, let me just say this about the victim...what are you doing? How can you possibly think putting your phone down on the subway platform, in any situation, is a good idea? Have self awareness one time. I'm not saying it's her fault, but she didn't do herself any favors.
Alright, on to this piece shit...
Who I can only assume was either blacked out drunk of a complete lunatic. Camo pants on non-military members are usually a major warning sign of the latter. Regardless, putting your hands out, flipping off, then claiming entrapment to a girl trying to make a TikTok video is a WILD move…
I wish that guy nothing but worst. Hopefully both he and the girl learned their lesson so history doesn't repeat itself. Chances are it won't end some nicely next time.
