Fake. Wish this would stop being reposted.

Edit: it’s a less than 10 second video with multiple camera cuts in it, where someone else was filming the guy saying someone broke his glasses. The shot then quickly cuts to a perfect view of the woman, who doesn’t look at all like someone who just got pissed off and snapped someones’ glasses in half. None of the other riders look like any of what he claims to have happened just happened. The guy who posted the video has like 4 other videos posted before this one, and said he was trying to get a tiktok deal.

The video is a fake.

I can't find this story backed up anywhere outside of news aggregator sites. Futurism has blatantly made shit up before.

Where's the full video if he was recording? All we see is a guy holding broken glasses and a woman standing. Why didn't the journalist reach out to the guy for more details? Or try to find out who the woman was? Why no other angles, people recording with their phones, other witnesseses posting to social media?

90% sure this is fake and or staged.

Why bother with a caption if you only repeat the headline?

"people were literally crying laughing" I've never wanted to punch someone in the throat more than this ass clown.

Everybody wants to punch Zuck, but sometimes the best you can hope for is an effigy

Those glasses are literally only purchased by predators. If you have a pair, I'm going to assume you're a predator.

“‘People were crying laughing’ — I’ve never heard a less plausible NYC subway story,” one user wrote.

I wish he got more than those glasses smashed

Oh good. /s

Let's push the idea that "good people are tired of being filmed by creeps".

Start the narrative out nice and soft.

Countdown to "it's okay to smash the phones of people filming ICE agents doing their jobs"or whatever agenda is most on the radar of people who are against video accountability when they're in the wrong.

I don't particularly like the concept of these glasses or the fact that creeps will use them, but this is not how we tackle a problem we already have with creeps being able to use cell phones and easy-to-hide body cams.

Puff pieces like this are how narratives get used to put bad things into law.

Remember Cambridge Analytica and note the current state of xitter.

PR stunt. The woman is his friend
