I do mostly construction litigation and lien foreclosures.   But sometimes employees of the clients do stupid shit and need to get bailed out or whatever.
I had one guy who was an illegal domincan beat the shit out of a traffic controller at LaGuardia w a car door like in Raging Bull.  He fled the scene and then was found w coke on him.   He was also a good employee to the client and he asked me to help out. 
Guess what these scumbag got?  4 months of anger mgmt 1 once per week. 

so you get paid to help (of your own free will) scumbags avoid justice ?

Very rare occurence thankfully.   I don't try to claim they are innocent.  Usually the DA offers it up front since there is such a back log of criminals in the system.

but if ten people had rushed to help, he could have easily been pulled out.

the driver woudl have seen ten people there (he should have seen one!)

and the pusher would have had his hands full.

Yeah but in a city there's no cooperation between stressed, egocentrical people, it's everyone for himself. Especially in an occidental city. When everyone else is focusing on his own sorry ass, it is normal to do the same, you would be dumb to do the opposite. You simply adapt to the environment to survive. Now things would probably have been a lot different outside of a city in a town where everyone knows each others...but doubt they have subways there

GB Shaw: Madam, would you sleep with me for a million pounds?
Actress: My goodness, Well, I'd certainly think about it
GB Shaw: Would you sleep with me for a pound?
Actress: Certainly not! What kind of woman do you think I am?!
GB Shaw: Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.

Very low brow to publish this. Cheapens death which in turn cheapens life. I wish herpes on all involved

You can't catch Herpes twice, or so I've been told.

Attention maroons.

If you read the account of the story, the cameraman was flashing his camera to get the attention of the operator. How do you know his real intentions?

you can atleast give him the benefit of the doubt. but the paper putting this on the front cover is just fucking outrageous.

He was one of dem dere A-rabs, and since ethnicity determines the content of one's mental states (being black causes watermelon thoughts, etc.), we know the nature of his mind perfectly well.

But if I had a bajillion dollars I'd have funded an American Hadron Collider to discover the secrets of time travel and warp back to the tracks, preventing this tragedy and altering the causal chain of events, thus creating a parallel universe where our Korean friend persisted (well, 'perdured', to be exact).

The cover of Tuesday's New York Post — which shows a man moments before he was fatally struck by a subway train —is sparking outrage from readers.

Han, a 58 year old father from Queens, was pushed into the subway tracks by "a deranged man" on Monday afternoon. One witness said that he was caught between the platform and the train, and dragged. The front page of the Post showed Han trying to lift himself back onto the platform at the 49th Street station as a Q train approached.

On Tuesday, readers asked why the photographer didn't try to help Han instead. The picture was taken by R. Umar Abbasi, whom the Post described as a "freelance photographer." The paper and Abbasi said that he was running toward the train and "repeatedly firing off his flash to warn the operator."

Alexander Abad-Santos at the Atlantic Wire noted, "Getting a conductor's attention with a flash — and maybe even blinding him with it — doesn't seem like the way you'd necessarily help someone that's clinging to the subway platform."

Others on Twitter harshly criticized both Abbasi for taking the photo and the Post for running it. People called the paper "despicable" and the "trashiest of f-cking trash." "Real classy, NY Post. Real classy," one person wrote. Below, see some of the reactions on Twitter.

Capital New York reached out to four tabloid photographers for their takes, and they were not as quick to blame Abbasi. "Honestly, I can't fault this photographer," one photographer wrote, citing the other observers on the subway platform. "They're either all guilty of turning their back on [Han], or they're not. Can't lay blame on this guy alone."

all american'ts are highly offensive to evolved humans
