Comedy: NY

A brawl broke out on a New York City subway car after one passenger apparently got upset over another passenger eating a big container of spaghetti on the crowded car.
The video was posted to YouTube and first reported by nyctheblog . The user who uploaded it says that it involved a Brooklyn train. There is no indication of what line it happened and what day it took place.
In the video, which contains profanity, starts with some arguing. Then one woman says, "What kind of animals eat on the train?"
The woman eating the spaghetti responds, "What kind of fat ****** looks like you?"
The back-and forth continues until both women stand up and get in each other's faces. Then the spaghetti went flying and the two passengers start a physical confrontation. Other people on the broke up the fight but the back and forth continues until the video ends.
VIDEO BELOW CONTAINS PROFANITY:

The woman eating appeared to be minding her own business. While eating spaghetti might not be the most appealing thing to watch, the other woman was pushing all the right buttons by basically calling her an animal.
I did not see her dropping any food on the train. I did not see her leaving it on the seat.
I do not know if there is a transit rule about eating food on the train, but if there is not, then it was within her right to be eating it.
Did the other wonman think that calling her an animal was going to be well recieved?
Now that being said, the woman eating did not need to hit her. Calling her fat and getting mad at her and responding to her was not any more out of line than the woman calling her a pig. ON the other hand, did the woman calling her a pig think she was just going to sith there and be called a pig when she wasn't hurting anyone?
It looks like there were racial tensions underlying the incident. The white woman calling the black woman a pig, the black woman taking offense and responding in kind. I'm sure by this point they were both looking at one and other's race as it esclated. I wonder if they would have used the words they did on each other had they both been of the same race.

Kudos to the man who intervened and broke up the altercation - the same one who was trying to reason with the combatants to begin with. Much respect for him.

After checking, since there appears to be no laws or rules that govern the consumption of food while riding on a New York subway, which I do find surprising, it appears to me that both parties share equal fault in this. First the white lady that suggested the black lady was an animal for eating spaghetti on the subway and second the black lady feeling it necessary to back up her own insults towards the white lady with violence.

In my opinion both should be arrested for disorderly conduct and the New York subway could do their patrons a big service by passing rules, laws, regulations that forbid the consumption of food and drink, other than clear water when riding on the subway and thus eliminating a possible source for public infection.

For example, how long did the spaghetti that was thrown sit on the chairs and floors of the subway car before it was cleaned up by the people who clean these cars on a daily basis.

For one, it makes the entire City look bad when a major transportation system consistently looks like a garbage pile. I guess that New Yorkers don't have any more pride in their city than do many other people throughout the rest of the world that believe they can just toss their garbage anywhere for others to deal with.

Use some basic common sense people, there was absolutely no justifiable reason for the combatants in this to do the things they did. They were both wrong in my opinion.
