The recent incident of a woman smoking crack on a subway in the Bronx has stirred up a lot of reactions among the public. The video, which has since gone viral, has elicited a range of comments from shock to humor, and even some personal anecdotes.
One reader shared a harrowing experience on the A train into Far Rockaway, where a man was seen smoking crack out of a glass vial. The situation quickly escalated when the man began coughing and vomiting blood, a sight that was not only terrifying but also deeply disturbing. The reader described the smell of the vomit as something unforgettable, a smell of “pure death and pestilence.”
Another reader humorously referenced the song “Empire State of Mind” by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, with the line, “Concrete jungle where dreams are made of!” This comment seems to highlight the stark contrast between the glamorous image of New York City portrayed in pop culture and the harsh realities of life in the city.
Some readers were amused by the woman’s range of emotions during the video, with one commenting, “She experiences all the emotions in 30 seconds.” Others expressed concern about the potential effects of second-hand crack smoke, with one reader jokingly stating, “Everyone in a ten-foot radius smoked crack that day.”
