This is horrible. But for Manhattan, not surprising. The same thing happened to me in Manhattan, and I'm not even a girl, I am a guy. I am walking down the street and I get cat calls like "you're nice!" (I am nice but not sure if that is the nice they were talking about) from some men, then I had women harass me too. The worst were old street gals (homeless?), likely drug addicts, "Wanna be my boyfriend?".
Don't get me wrong - I have been all over the world, so I am VERY acclimated to beggars, but when I say beggars I mean real ones, professional beggars whose full time job is begging... real beggars are NOT these thuggery druggery muggery types in Manhattan some who use the pretense "homeless". These are NOT the beggars of the world that I have come to know and love - these are scum.
I actually like to even hang out with the for real professional beggars like you find in the "Third World", of course there is a limit to anything. Those beggars never would say those things you hear in this video harassing women in such a monkey behavior. These beggars have class, and are some of the best comedians and actors you can imagine, smart and skilled. But these Manhattan mashers are peanut brains, honestly.
The problem is, the other men on the street do not dare beat the crap out of these mashers because the current Mayor will have them arrested. The other problem is, a good guy like me, albeit getting up in age, wouldn't trust that gal, she doesn't have that total "I like to eat nails and have I given you the finger yet today?"look, but she strikes me as probably having a mean streak.
The part I don't get is, how was this video being made? Obvious the camera person was walking right in front of her the entire time. The part I don't get is, not that he was somehow filming her with the cellphone or camera taped to his or her hat, but being anyone could figure out that there was this cellphone-camera thing going on how the camera agent could have walked that far filming this stuff without getting mugged along the way and getting the phone or camera ripped off. Explain that to me, no way could you walk THAT far with a camera prop rolling without being robbed and ripped off in broad daylight in Manhattan.
What we need to do is return to the good old days, an Irish immigrant policeman street walker in a blue suit and a vicious billy club dangling from his wrist with jute to match his vicious whiskey hangover. Just swing the club randomly at anyone who doesn't smile the right way.
Actually that is what New York needs to fix this issue - screw the illegals from Mexico, give me 6 million drunk Irishmen and I will solve all the problems of New York overnight after I suit them all up in blue. They'll not only put those monkeys down, they will teach that gal not to look so snipe-bite smart.
Have you ever walked THAT far in Manhattan with a nice pair of shoes? Forget it, fidget. You will have gum gook and dog crap, you may even slip on a disgusting hotdog wrapper wet with mustard. But that is another story.
