Meet Ryan Bartels Who Harassed and Verbally Assaulted an Elderly Woman on the Subway for Wearing a Mask

"We got him."

This lovely woman opened the case, and the hunt was on.

Who is the woman in the glasses? What's her tiktoc for twitter? I love her!

AND NAME THE OTHER CUNT IN THE RED SHIRT! FAT ASS BARTELS FRIEND! ID HIM!

Ryan Bartels: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Ryan Bartels is Public Enemy No. 1.

I want him on the guillotine NOW! I didn't say 'Tomorrow', I said 'Now'!

Drawn and quartered is always popular.

Well, CarMax will soon issue a statement and he is done for. Too bad the older woman probably isn't social media savvy because he should be made an example of among the anti-vaxxer crowd. This is who they are.

Ah yes, the people who scream for freedoms are getting in peoples faces and telling them not to wear a mask. The irony of it all.

If someone ever gets in my face I’ll clothesline them.

Mentally ill and brainwashed. Him & the persecution fetishists outing him. They should all get a life. I’m not sure what’s more obnoxious, his screaming Deplorable ass or the self-satisfied look on these Fraus faces as they ruin his life FOREVER and economically suicide him.

R2 He is 27???? I would have guessed late 30's to early 40's.

He has a look of retardation about his fat face.

1776? AHAHAHAHA

God, I HATE these people. SO proud to be anti-intellectual. If I didn't hate them so much, I'd be embarrassed for them.

Now he can be jobless and sit around stewing to become more of an extremist. Good job.

I came here to make the same comment, R11. Yikes.

R3, she's rx0rcist on Twitter, TikTok, and Insta.

The very representation of toxic virginity.

On the Q train! Oh god well that explains it!

His face appears to have alcoholic bloat.

1776! 1776!

Wait. What's that inside his collar?

Is he an anti-vaxxer too?

Holy shit! 27?!?! 😂😂😂

He is probanly Boris in his spare time, which is a lot judging from that hideous face and sloppy build.

Ws his home address posted, we need to harass him at home.

He easily looks mid-40s and sort of Downs Syndrome.

Really, R10? Seems he’s the one who needs to get a life, particularly since he’s obviously too stupid to understand freedom works both ways. Her wearing a mask is of no consequence to him. So yeah, out the asshole. Normal people don’t harass others, seniors or not,for stupid shit like this.

R21 No, George. He fully supports vaccines BUT is very much anti-vaxx.

This shit happens all the time. It’s only notable because it’s a white incel doing it, and it’s about masking. I can’t tell you how often I see some skel haranguing an innocent person who’s minding their own business.

And no one ever tries to step in.

I thought they were saying wearing a mask was a CHOICE.

He looks like almost anyone could beat him up easily. He’s a fat drunk. He’s harassing/humiliating an elderly on the train. Standing over them. Yelling. I wish to god someone got up and punched the shit out of him. This scumbag thinks he’s fucking Alex in CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

Ugh, of course he went to UVA.

Of COURSE he did.

He has the same weird capped teeth and over-trimmed beard look that Uday and Qusay Trump do.

I suspect his taint hygiene is questionable. Crusty with residual matter.

Went to UVA and works at Carnax?

He looks like he could be an uglier Trump Brother, if that’s even possible.

He apparently hasn't worked there since May, r34. They issued a statement on Twitter yesterday.

OMG.

When I think of the truly physically and mentally tough people I've known in my life (I was a bartender for 8 years), he's lucky none of them were there.

He'd have received from them a lightening-fast body blow to the stomach and then, as he fell forward, an upper cut to the face which would've flattened his ass.

This drunken chicken-shit is in hiding.

Yeah, he is definitely on a downward spiral. Comm School Jeff Scholar at UVA, onto Goldman Sachs, where it seems he only lasted a year, before falling down the hill to land at Carmax, and now likely unemployed.

He’s definitely moving in the wrong direction.

This guy is a bully and deserved to get doxxed. Of course he singled out the elderly lady, of all passengers on the train.

That’s a hard 27.

Very telling how he treats women.

Oh, and r10, fuck-off. He ruined himself.

Besides being a chicken-shit, this ass-hole is too stupid and/or drunk to know that the world is now, 24 and 7 and no matter where you are, including your own apartment or house, surveilled.

and his buddy is shitting bricks now, too.

Does anyone have his mother's phone number so I can call her a cunt?

[quote]I’m not sure what’s more obnoxious, his screaming Deplorable ass or the self-satisfied look on these Fraus faces as they ruin his life FOREVER and economically suicide him.

Well, let me clear it up for you. The forrmer is worse. By far.

r44, nobody is advocating that. I certainly don't.

In fact, I hope this guy sobers-up, gets help and makes amends to this elder.

This is why I’m not woke.

This man could actually have some undiagnosed mental illness, or at least be having an episode, and instead of getting him help, the Karen’s of the world just want to ruin his life. These same bitches would argue down though if you said mental health isn’t a big deal.

Funny how people get hysterical and bigoted as a knee-jerk reaction when it’s time to actually show tolerance.

Bigoted? Jesus you’re an imbecile. He is clearly an entitled angry white guy douche bag with a serious anger problem. He deserved to be taken down a notch.

Y

[quote] Funny how people get hysterical and bigoted as a knee-jerk reaction when it’s time to actually show tolerance.

No. It is not time to show tolerance. It’s time to call these privileged assholes out on their behavior.

I’ll save my tolerance for people who aren’t assaulting other people in public places.

r47, you're not only not "woke", I'm wondering if you're sentient, although, you can tap out on a keyboard.

Gee, let me see, maybe if that moron Donald Trump would've had the modicum of smarts to NOT politicize Covid-19 and said publicly what he told Bob Woodward- "...this is serious..." and then advocated mask-wearing, which, oh, by the way, has the benefit of actually being effective in stopping its spread, perhaps none of would be in the hellscape of stupidity.

And if Trump would've have done that, he'd probably still be the POTUS now, although I shudder to think of that.

Showing tolerance got us to this shit. I've had faggot hurled at me at least three times in the last year. Fuck this piece of shit. He brought it in himself and deserves every bit of trouble. Given his open hostility toward elderly women I am certain he has had domestic violnce issues.

The polo shirt tucked into his shorts with belt (possibly with phone holster attached) tells me everything I need to know about this very basic white guy.

'they ruin his life FOREVER and economically suicide him.'

And there's a problem R10? He traumatized an old woman minding her own business. Gee we might as well forgive Trump everything. He is one sick fuck.

Anyway a Republican will hire him so don't worry your little head.

He’ll be dead soon enough. Karma is real.

So, where does he live. Who is his current employer and is it married?

[quote]This man could actually have some undiagnosed mental illness, or at least be having an episode ... it's time to actually show tolerance.

Yes, and why don't we extend the same tolerance to the angry white guys who stormed the Capitol on January 6? They and this jerk seem to be suffering from the same strain of "mental illness" – white hot rage over the world not bending to their whims. Let's understand, not condemn, their anti-social behavior. That'll make the world a much better place.

Said no non-GQPer, ever.

If course he's suffering from mental illness. It's the same delusion shared by a large number of pasty ugly white men like him. They thought they were the elite but eventually realized they were just a bit too dim and off looking to ever achieve that to which they felt they were entitled.

[quote]they ruin his life FOREVER and economically suicide him.

I don't think suicide works the way you think it does.

r47 Woke people are MEAN. Funny how this is always the final argument of the right when they are unable to defend the indefensible.

While at the same time taking ZERO personal responsibility, ignoring science, economics and logic and ALL the teachings of Jesus, while worshiping a cult leader who has lied 50,000 times, molested 200 women= 29 filed reports, thinks only of himself in EVERY situation, cheats at golf and at everything else, shits his pants, dyes his hair and wears make up every day,

White males: the new oppressed class in this wacky world we live in. Who knew?

I went to UVA, Doctor. It's not exactly a charm school.

[quote]This man could actually have some undiagnosed mental illness, or at least be having an episode

I think it's unfair to equate a temper tantrum with mental illness, r47. There are truly mentally ill people out there who don't deserve to be labeled as potential anti-vax screaming bigots like this guy is.

I’m such a DLer that the SJW glasses seen in OP make me want to side with the Trumpkin.

I understand the Internet tactic of misconstruing words when you don’t bless their mess, but holding him legally accountable is one thing, persecuting him publicly is another. Answer me this: how do you think mental illness works? You think it’s just some quiet thing people go through home alone in bed? No. Sometimes it results in public outbursts and awkward exchanges with random people.

Like I said if you’re do previous that you can’t find tolerance for mental illness, well that’s between you and your god. But don’t tell me you actually give two fucks about people suffering with mental illness because when it comes down to actual mental illness you’re just as bigoted as everyone else.

No one but a troll would be insisting that this guy is a victim suffering from mental illness.

You can't diagnose mental illness from a video, even if you were a psychologist, which you very obviously are not. Just hush and shoo, r64.

Please note that, not only did he give the elderly female passenger a hard time, but he seems be trying to intimidate the person taking the video.

New term r62? #TrumperTantrum?

I've battled with major mental illness all my life and yet somehow I've never bullied old women in public or anyone for that matter. This was an uncontrolled outburst. He deliberately chose to harass someone he perceived as non threatening enough to take his abuse.

[quote] Mentally ill and brainwashed. Him & the persecution fetishists outing him. They should all get a life. I’m not sure what’s more obnoxious, his screaming Deplorable ass or the self-satisfied look on these Fraus faces as they ruin his life FOREVER and economically suicide him.

You refer to him as a "Deplorable" and yet you are apparently extremely concerned about his future ability to earn a living. People like you (who make excuses for his behavior and believe that is actions should not have consequences) helped create the monster that he is. At age 27, the only person ruining his future is him. What's most obnoxious is your capitalization of each letter in the word forever.

R64 - and some people are just obvious assholes, too. You don’t know if he’s got a mental illness.

I'm sure I'll make no friends by saying I really don't think the answer to this guy's obvious assholery is to destroy his life.

There's something gross about the moral high-horse a lot of the internet gets on when someone does something really fucking stupid in public. From Justine Sacco to this guy.

There has to be some punishment in between nothing and utter ruin.

[quote]lightening-fast body blow

Hey! Leave me out of this.

R71 A crispy vicious slap would have sufficed for sure. Reminds me of that NYC subway fight where this tall hunk of a dude wearing 8 ball jacket slaps around some assholes.

Twitter is having a field day dragging his ass, and they ID his buddy.

"...they ruin his life FOREVER and economically suicide him."

If he had acted like a human being and controlled himself like a man and and adult is expected to, he wouldn't have had to worry about that. Fuck this p.o.s.! Obviously, he's gotten away with shit before but this is the first time he's ever had to deal with repurcussions of being a shitbag to women/elderly/strangers.

Where’s Bernie Goetz when we need him?

[quote] the self-satisfied look on these Fraus faces as they ruin his life FOREVER and economically suicide him

He's ruined his own life! He's a grown man. No business is going to want the negative publicity of continuing to employ someone who behaves like this in public. It's just common sense. He talked directly to the person filming him, so he knew he was on camera. It's 100% his own fault.

[quote] Now he can be jobless and sit around stewing to become more of an extremist. Good job.

If he'd faced no consequences, surely that would just have made him more convinced that he's in the right and that this behaviour is acceptable?

And some of you are really showing your true colors. Because this man yelled some MAGA shit your hatred of Trump overrides any sense of decency or morality you may have. Again, crazy people say and do crazy things. And I don’t say crazy as a dog, but I go back to my previous question: what do you think mental illness looks like?

"Again, crazy people say and do crazy things."

This is not happening in a vacuum dumb-dumb. Crazy MAGATS are intimidating people EVERYWHERE with their unhinged anti-vaxx, anti-mask shit. They need to be called out, exposed, and humiliated.

r78 Poor mentally ill Ryan. GFYS. Did you see him making white power signals at the Klan rally? So misunderstood.

The alumni directory says about Bartels, “Virginia Team Handball Club, founder and president; Beta Gamma Sigma, chief financial officer; Catholic Student Ministries; Global Markets Group; Madison House, Westminster Daycare Center, Hot Shots soccer coach; Veconlab; Moneythink, executive board; Young Americans for Freedom, chief editor; Alternative Investment Fund, chief marketing officer; Undergraduate Economics Teaching Fellow; Virginia Advocate, senior editor; Virginia Men’s Rowing; Virginia Rifle and Pistol Club; College Republicans; Creating Assets Savings and Hope, volunteer; Cavalier Academic Support Team Economics, tutor; Intramural Sports, referee; Intermediate Honors; Dean’s List; Echols Scholar.”

He harassed an elderly woman on the subway, physically forced her to sit down and stay there when she got up and tried to leave, and tried to hurt her by coughing on her. Has nothing to do with Trump. The cops should get involved. It was a crime and a lot of people who commit crimes get their names in the papers.

[quote]R10 as they ruin his life FOREVER and economically suicide him.

Why do you place that repercussion on them rather than him? Suicide is something one does to one’s self.

I see from the Heavy article that he went to an anti-vax rally that same day, so clearly he was all worked up about this topic and wanted to take his anti-vax show on the road.

Ryan Bartels's buddy has a name too, amd it's Nicholas Sam. They're co-defendants, you know. Wouldn't want him feeling left out.

Nick is a “Sportsbook Operations Specialist” for @DKSportsbook .

He deleted his facebook this afternoon, likely because Ryan — his UVA pal — was having a meltdown about getting “doxxed” (his name was tied to his actions).

Why is the subway filled with assholes who try to engage other passengers who are just sitting there, trying to peacefully get to their destinations?

Same goes for the panhandlers with the elaborate pitches.

You know how he and his buddy could have avoided being ID'd? by WEARING A MASK.

^ LOL.

thanks r16. she's fab!

He's definitely not right. You can tell by his eyes. No spark of intelligence or compassion.

The Rx0rcist helps take down another anti-vaxxer:

People need to stop making excuses (such as the mental illness trope) for what amounts to people behaving badly. Actions have consequences, and I agree with this outcome for him wholeheartedly because he crossed the line when he physically menaced this woman. He looked like he was poised to beat the shit out of her when he was standing over her, she seemed unable to leave the space.

The woke "mental illness" mob make me sick. Like a poster upthread I've suffered with it all my life and never once behaved this way towards others. The overwhelming majority of mentally ill people, even seriously mentally ill people, are harmless. Stop trying to make excuses for what amounts to shitty people acting shittily.

Your point is well argued but so ironic here especially.

In that video he had a very spaced out look. There's no telling what he was high on.

This is one time I’d love to be 6’8” and built like a shit brickhouse. Walk up and tap him on the shoulder.

Well, now we not only know this guy’s name, we also know the size of his dick!

We do?

Yes, we do, R97.

This thread is really the feel-good sleeper hit of the summer. It makes me so happy to see people held to account for their behaviour. I hope the elderly woman sues his ass off.

And if you’re making excuses for the guy, there’s something wrong with you.

I want all those making excuses for the guy on the guillotine right NOW!

I didn't say 'Tomorrow', I said 'Now'!

Dayum, Madam.

What is Kamala doing about this outrage?

I do think that on the whole cancel culture is a bad thing, but it's hard to force down the schadenfreude when it smacks down people like this and especially the person at R91.

R102 More importantly why hasn't Susan Dey commented?

Bartels friend is THIS CUNT aka Nicholas Sam.

OF COURSE he threw out death threats. Of course. Such utter and complete trash always does.

[quote] Nicholas Sam

I want this man on the guillotine. Right now.

No shit, r105.

We knew that fucking hours ago.

This TJ chick is dragging SAM off the planet! Now there's a proud boy connection! Good for her!

r108 then post the link next time. There's nothing in this thread.

I guess you scrolled right on past r85?

r111, not a link. Thanks for confirming it.

Good for you, r113. You're the one trolling, hon. Happy now?

Grinning from ear to ear, doll.

I want the person R113 is complaining about on the guillotine. Right now.

I’d ask apologists like R78 if they’d like their own mothers to be treated this way, but their parents probably disowned them years ago.

So Ryan, how small is it? Can you use two fingers or just the one?

I'll bet Ryan prefers to bareback, R118, and tells his partners it's because he wants to feel close to him when it's really because his dick's so small the condom keeps sliding off during sex and he's too poor and too too much of an asshole to order the XXS size he really needs to wear.

Never mind the children, won't someone think of the anti-mask, anti-vaxx, covid deniers?

He's gay, right? I got total gay voice from him.

He was already ruined before he even did this. Went to UVA on scholarship, worked at Goldman Sachs then ended up at Carmax and got fired in May 2021. Another disenfranchised incel white dude who was handed everything and somehow messed it all up. Probably blaming all the minorities because they “stole” his job. Just lock up this POS, there is no hope for him.

The way he's dressed, R121? LOL! No.

R119 Wait wait, he calls it a “pussy”. He says fuck me in my pussy. I am a …..

[quote]r94 In that video he had a very spaced out look. There's no telling what he was high on.

Power. Intimidation.

I'm an older female trained in martial arts. Wish it had been me he was fucking with. I honestly would have punched him so hard in his balls and then finished him off with a round house to the head.

These entitled straight white men are all the same.

Pathetic losers.

Was he visiting NYC from Virginia for the anti vax rally? Did he ride the Q train to get to a destination or just to tell his buddies back home he rode Q? First thought that popped into my mind when I saw that.

I'm stunned that he was a Jefferson Scholar. That is a HIGHLY competitive honor. Only the best of the best are even nominated. And UVA awarded it to this loser? Mind blown. Shame on UVA.

He looks exactly like Richard Hatch who was the gay guy on the first season of Survivor who won and eventually went to prison for tax fraud.

I want Richard Hatch on the guillotine.

It was funny the first few times, r131. Now it's meh.

R129 - Don't forget that Elise Stefanik, Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley etc. all went to Harvard or Yale -- the rightwing is filled with well educated, seemingly bright people. It's scary.

27??? More like 44.

Watched the vid and I too came away with…

27?????????

This old ass looking motherfucker is over a decade younger than me? Wtf?

He has gay voice.

Purses fly out of his mouth. He's fey.

They aren't "bright people", r133. They're garden variety sociopaths who will use then destroy anyone who gets in their way.

There's a reason none of these people has any friends. They use people. That's not "smart". It's sociopathic.

He doesn't have "gay voice." He has low-T, tiny-dick voice.

That was a crowded subway car. I'm surprised and disheartened that not one person intervened. Especially as the victim was an elderly woman.

Proud Boys. That explains his 1776 bullshit. He gets NO sympathy. Ruin the guy.

[quote]R140 That was a crowded subway car. I'm surprised and disheartened that not one person intervened.

New Yorkers tend to not get involved in unfolding drama surrounding them. It’s the only way to survive and get through your day.

just so the story is straight someone posted that the woman said to him first that she hoped the police fined him for not wearing a mask.

he was triggered as all trumpians seem to be,

someone did try and intervene. He told them to sit the fuck down

r142=Kitty Genovese

I almost signed my post Kitty : )

But have you ever lived in the city? You are shoulder to shoulder with tense, crazy people all day, every day.

Mind your business or get your eye out out.

PUT out!

I didn’t get gay vibes.

The subway attracts the worst people, every fucking day. I guess they know they have a captive audience.

Of course, what this puke did this elderly lady who just wanted to get where she was going is despicable, but the sheer glee these people who dox others get is just as disturbing. I can see capturing the incident on a phone then reporting it to the authorities, but the obligation people like this feel to get into this extreme vigilantism over someone being verbally accosted is just as mentally imbalanced. Should this guy decide to swan dive off a 23rd floor balcony because of this the woman who so fervently persuaded him could be criminally charged. Whether or not she'd be found guilty, who knows, but who'd wanna go through that mess? To use her words, I doubt that would be the hill she'd want to die on.

And where is all the effort to seek out all the people who are beating up all these unsuspecting Asian-Americans? Where's the effort to destroy their lives & future livelihoods? I see...

[quote]R149 what this puke did is despicable, but the sheer glee these people who dox others get is just as disturbing.

The solution is simple - don’t do things you can’t defend.

No muss, no fuss. Next stop, 14th Street.

[quote]R149 And where is all the effort to seek out all the people who are beating up all these unsuspecting Asian-Americans?

Yes, why aren’t you doing that?

[quote] If course he's suffering from mental illness. It's the same delusion shared by a large number of pasty ugly white men like him. They thought they were the elite but eventually realized they were just a bit too dim and off looking to ever achieve that to which they felt they were entitled.

That isn’t “mental illness.”

I agree r150. Don’t want to be doxxed for being an asshole in public, don’t be an asshole in public.

It’s really not that hard.

[quote] And where is all the effort to seek out all the people who are beating up all these unsuspecting Asian-Americans? Where's the effort to destroy their lives & future livelihoods? I see...

You have a point there. I am, however, glad that this gay-voiced, obviously tiny-dicked Proud Boy is getting destroyed, but wow, talk about racial bias.

Play stupid games,win stupid prizes. Control yourself like a real man and an actual adult, no doxxing. Pretty simple, unless you're trash. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yelling "1776" at old ladies. The height of sophistication and political consciousness. Honor student to fired used car salesman. I wonder whose basement in Jersey is his home.

The immediate responses to my post were exactly what I was expecting...It's so easy.

You’re not nearly as clever a troll as you think you are

[quote]And where is all the effort to seek out all the people who are beating up all these unsuspecting Asian-Americans? Where's the effort to destroy their lives & future livelihoods? I see...

Why are you trying to pit one minority group against another?

Is it because inflaming passions between minorities is the only way that your tribe can maintain its fading, tenuous grip on power and influence in OUR country?

Well keep fucking that chicken, dummy. If history has told you anything, it should be that your bullshit tactics aren't going to work. Take a look at the latest census results if you want proof of that.

How long until this shows up as a "ripped from the headlines" story on some procedural?

I would say 'Stay at it until he's unemployable.' But he's already unemployable.

Next stop... state prison.

[quote]The immediate responses to my post were exactly what I was expecting...It's so easy.

There were no immediate responses to your post when you posted this, so what the hell are you talking about, dummy?

[quote] Should this guy decide to swan dive off a 23rd floor balcony because of this the woman who so fervently persuaded him could be criminally charged.

R149 you don’t know a thing about the law and prove it with this silly statement. His family could try to sue for civil damages but good luck finding a lawyer that would take that case without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars from someone who might not have ten thousand to take.

The reason the people who committed the hate crimes against Asian-Americans in the past year haven’t met with similar treatment is because they have actually committed crimes for which they will be arrested, tried, and put into jail because they committed serious criminal assaults. We have a group of people dedicated to finding people who commit criminal offenses, they are called police and are well-funded in this activity. Any further efforts by this woman towards that end are just a duplication of efforts.

While what Ryan Bartels is surely abhorrent, it is likely not criminal or at least not a crime a prosecutor has the time or interest in perusing charges. The only court Ryan will be seeing the inside of over this incident is the court of public opinion.

That’s why public censure of the Ryans of the world is more important than the criminals R148 mentions who are already being pursued with the full force of law. The criminal faces jail and fines, on top of the enduring social costs of being a convicted felon. Ryan will face no legal consequences for his behavior because it isn’t illegal. It’s anti-social, and thus his punishment is a social one.

This is hilarious. I actually had a run in with this exact person on Instagram. He used his real name and even listed his employer on his Instagram account.

He used to post the worse kind of sneery rightwing douchebro “get a job loser” comments on liberal instas, and I would ridicule him. At one point I told him I was going to write to his employer and tell them what their employee, who trumpets his place of business, was saying on the internet. He then removed his employer from his account, and a day or two later he changed his account name from his real name.

What a surprise that he got all 1776 with the little old lady when there were lots of other people on the train as well.

I’ve encountered those types of assholes on Instagram, Bootsy. I’d love to see one of them meet the same fate as this loser.

From now on, when I see someone acting horribly towards another person, I'll shed a tear for their mental illness.

Mentally ill my ass. And if it had been a black person who showed out like this, they'd be in jail or dead by now.

This will be a controversial opinion to some.

This guy is a piece of shit but what did he do except annoy someone on the subway for a minute? Tell the police if it bothers you, but I'm against vigilante justice. I don't get the internet SJWs who step in and make an example of someone, and ruin their life - on principle it just seems like the extreme version of a busybody who needs to be in everyone's business. If nobody was really hurt, just some asshole being a bully on the subway? I mean I've seen a lot worse on the subway over the years.

The woman who was harassed by this asshole will relive it every day of her life, R168.

Doxing/cancelling is how the Under-40s passive-aggressively compete in the world. If you destroy someone online, their now-vacant job becomes available. See?

You don't know that, R169. He didn't hit her. He didn't physically attack her. He acted like an asshole... to a Noo Yawker. She's seen worse. She stood up and got right in his face. I'm sure it was unpleasant to her. But don't be a sniveling ninny about it. The woman is not reliving the horror every moment of the day. There wasn't any real horror here. Awful, piggish, behavior, yes. But that's all.

I'm sure the old gal is cradling her mug of chock-full o'Nuts as we type.

"But what about the belligerent bully's mEnTaL IlLnEsS?!?!? Maybe he can't help harassing elderly women in public???"

R149 OR you could just leave people the fuck alone, and you wouldn't have to worry about Internet vigilantes.

It's not neuroscience, Blossom.

This will shock non-trolls with functioning brain cells, but what if the truly horrible person is the one deserving of our sympathy, while the powerless victim is actually the real villain??

CHECKMATE, LIBS.

[quote]I mean I've seen a lot worse on the subway over the years.

So any behavior that doesn't rise to the level of the worst you've ever seen should get a pass?

Just give me one good reason why young men shouldn't go around confronting elderly women about wearing masks during a pandemic.

I've seen worse on the subway.

Go ahead, just one good reason. That's right, you don't have any.

THREAD CLOSED

THINGS A TROLL SAYS!!!

[quote]I mean I've seen a lot worse on the subway over the years.

Yeah.

I once saw a guy take off his sneaker, pick around inside and eat whatever he found inside. He then proceeded to pick at his toes and eat that too.

R169 My friend's mom who was in a concentration camp might have relived the horror every day of her life. This woman who was yelled at for a minute? Probably not. I'm obviously not saying this was good or the guy is not a poor excuse for a human being. But as I said I don't believe in doxing, overall.

What he did was arguably Disorderly Conduct.

N.Y. PEN. LAW § 240.20 : NY Code - Section 240.20: Disorderly conduct

A person is guilty of disorderly conduct when, thereof: 1. He engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior; or 2. ; or 3. In a public place, he uses abusive or obscene language, or makes an obscene gesture; or 4. Without lawful authority, he disturbs any lawful assembly or meeting of persons; or 5. He obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic; or 6. He congregates with other persons in a public place and refuses to comply with a lawful order of the police to disperse; or 7. He creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which serves no legitimate purpose. Disorderly conduct is a violation The noise ordinance directly quotes

But what if the white man threatening strangers in public SUFFERS CONSEQUENCES???? Oh nooooooooooo!!!!

New rule courtesy of R180: If it's not the same level as the Holocaust, it's literally nothing to be bothered by.

This is where we're at, folks. This is the level of discourse now.

On other forums he trolls, R180 probably cites the Holocaust as a myth. These trolls are so versatile!

R183 R184 Ugh. The poster said this was something that would haunt the woman every day for the rest of her life. He has no way of knowing that. I brought up my friend's mom to put his comment in context. I can't stand when you people call everyone who disagrees in a reasonable, non-belligerent and polite manner a troll. I agree with R181. If this is a misdemeanor, then deal with it accordingly. I don't believe harassing a harasser (doxing) is the way to go, I'm not even sure it's legal. We have laws for a reason.

I love how these idiots chant..."freedom!:..yet, other people can't have that freedom of choice to wear a mask, without being harassed, punched or brutalized.

*the freedom of choice.. ^^

[quote]This guy is a piece of shit...but I'm against vigilante justice.

Yeah. Mobs are vile, whatever side they're on.

This guy is supposed to be 27. If so, the oldest 27 year old on the planet. Nature is taking its own revenge.

Look at the NY park dog woman: info has come out suggesting it's far from a black and white case. Look at what went on when Reddit and Co. attempted to identify the Boston bombers. Every single one of their suspects was profoundly incorrect.

R180 This might be controversial, but this guy’s life is not ruined at all. His life continues the same as before, he simply gained notoriety for his behavior in public. Just as we can’t be sure the elderly lady will be impacted on a day-to-day basis, neither can we know how or even if his life is impacted.

He still has a family that loves him, he has a good education, he still can vote, get married, join the military, get a job, pay taxes. He is still free and able to eat-live-breathe the blessings of 1776.

If you don’t agree, what’s stopping him? Many people who have far gotten more media recognition for similar behavior have gone on to lead productive lives. Nick Sandman, the MAGA high schooler from the Lincoln Memorial, got into college and from all accounts came out of the experience wealthier than when he went in. The young man who shot and killed two people in the unrest last summer and was bailed out by Rick Schroeder has become a celebrity in some circles and is asked to take pictures with fans in bars.

Go die in a grease fire, R185. Just because you express your odious opinions in "a reasonable, non-belligerent and polite manner" doesn't make them odious opinions. You're defending a bullying downplaying the experience of the woman he harassed because you identify with the bully on some level. I suggest you ask yourself why that is.

[quote] I can't stand when you people call everyone who disagrees in a reasonable, non-belligerent and polite manner a troll.

This is the Datalounge. We are all trolls.

Agree, R189. Other MAGAts and antivaxxers would happily vote this nimrod in as their nest congressperson. He'd fit right in with Lauren "Restraining Order" Bobert and Marge "Stalker and Harasser" Greene. Sounds like he's pretty much assured his future in the GQP!

Plus, he’s a doughy white guy, so I know at least some percentage of the DL thinks he’s hot.

Reopen the concentration camps.

Maybe he was auditioning.... you never know R152.

For what, is there a musical about Napoleon coming to Broadway?

[quote]Plus, he’s a doughy white guy, so I know at least some percentage of the DL thinks he’s hot.

Sure, but a far larger percentage identify with him because he's white and male and they're racist and sexist, and in this way they are no different than any other right wing asshole, gay or straight.

How is his life ruined? The guy just got himself credentials to be given a show on Fox/Newsmax/OANN. Or to be the spokesperson for Trump's imaginary cabinet.

GQP said that old people should die off for for the good of our country, so this guy just moved up as Dump's potential running mate! Smart thinkin' Brian! WTG, buddy!

This guy personifies a Trumper.

Donald Trump is the biggest, most cowardly, most moronic, most incompetent, most insecure POS to ever besmirch the White House.

Trump salved his personal and political insecurities to a group of children- his infamous speech to the Boy Scouts of America.

This guy salved his insecurities and sense of victim hood on an elder.

My, what similar behavior, so telling of men like Trump and this guy who wouldn’t know a truly tough, brave act if it was 10 feet high and shoved under their nose.

The real reason this guy is being defended by r185 is because r185 knows that the “mask” is off of them. All the world sees what Trump is and his followers, too - a bunch of chicken-shit ignorant cowards.

It is appropriate that law enforcement has one set of tools at its disposal to deal with Ryan Bartels.

It is appropriate that the rest of us have the internet and societal disapproval. If shunning was good enough for the Quakers, as non-violent a group as one can find, then it's just fine for us to research the truth of Mr. Bartels, publish it, shun him, and ask others to do the same.

It will probably get him a highly paid job at the Heritage Foundation, but so be it.

I could only make it halfway through that video without feeling nuts that I wasn't there, on that train, to witness it -- I would have smashed this motherfucker's face into a subway pole until he saw out the back of it

He picked on her because she was elderly and he assumed she wouldn't talk back to him. What if she had?

"Get out of my face, you stupid pencil-dicked motherfucker. Your bad breath is coming through, even with my mask on. Is this your idea of fun, Einstein? I've just called 911 so don't even think it. Fuck off."

If he’d been Black man Trumpers would have said “what do you expect from the dregs of society?”

But since he’s white they say, “have some compassion for the mentally ill.”

Why don’t we reverse it for a while, and treat him like the dreg he is.

My God he’s such a Mary. He’s miserable bc he’s still in the closet.

I'm coining a new moniker: Trumpfag

The guy is a dick but Granny should have kept her mouth shut in the first place. He is wrong to not wear a mask but if she didn’t take it upon herself to police him none of this would have happened. She is lucky all he did was yell. He just as easily could have pulled out a gun and killed her.

[quote]GQP said that old people should die off for for the good of our country, so this guy just moved up as Dump's potential running mate!

Over my dead body!

Oh, wait.

he was wrong, but again, She started it. he retaliated.

Where does it say she started it?? WTF???

r211 are you reading the comments?

she said to him I hope the cops fine you $500 for not wearing a mask. Then he started on her.

What the fuck is r212 talking about?

“She’s lucky all he did was yell” “, She started it”

Of course, because, as we all know, everything has to be reacted to and he’d have picked on someone as young as him, too.

Add dishonor to cowardice for his defenders here.

there are no defenders here. But the whole story should be talked about, not just the bits and pieces to fit the agenda

Carmax is headquartered in Richmond, so I'm guessing he was a corporate employee and not a salesman.

Men who fly off the handle at anyone, much less elderly ladies, when they utter one sentence like he did are liabilities to any professional company. Carmax is lucky they got rid of him before he "had a bad day" because the Xerox repair man disagreed with him about his sportsball team or the cubefrau beside him turned him down for a date, and poor wee-dicked Brian brought a firearm into work and shot the place up. You know, since he obviously is so easily triggered!

I guess the next time Ryan Bartels and Nicholas Sam will take a taxi and skip the subway. Just a thought.

*Ryan

I'd apologize but jerks who get up in elderly people faces don't deserve to have their names spelled properly anyway, lol.

i would have kicked his ass

Yes, r220 apparently all of the he-men of the DL would have kicked his ass.

I wouldn’t have kicked his ass.

I’d have videoed his ass and doxxed him. Just like our hero did.

This isn’t doxxing in the wake of a disagreement. This situation is exactly the kind of thing a person should be cancelled for. He’s not being called out for his opinions; she didn’t threaten him; he’s being held accountable for his threatening behaviour. Left unchecked, you better bet he’ll take that as license to do it again, and take it further. So now it’s being made known to everyone. That’s completely fair. The truth is an absolute defence.

This guy is really spiraling down...

Just as an aside, every guy I've dated who was named Ryan was a total cunt.

Resume reveals he was a Yaffie - member of Young Americans for Freedom.

Every YAFFIE I’ve ever known was both a dweeb AND a budding Log Cabiner.

[quote]The truth is an absolute defence. (sic)

To what? An absolute defense to what? If you don't include that crucial tidbit of information, your statement is just meaningless gibberish.

… To a good offense, r227!!!

[quote] To what? An absolute defense to what?

To Joe Piscopo’s career, Rose.

If you can handle [sic], you’re a big boy. You’ll figure it out. By the way, ‘defence’ is the way we spell it in the UK.

You’re welcome.

And you can bet this piece of shit is the same kind that will be asking for prayers and having a GoFundMe set up for him when he’s gasping for breath on a ventilator in a hospital.

SEE: Pasty, chinless incel fuckface

HEAR: Demon Twink from the Britney Boat

The "whole story" doesn't change shit. He was an asshole to an old woman--who could've been the mentally ill one, btw--AND to other people around him. Let's not pretend like this motherfucker was Mr. Chivalry UNTIL he came across Granny Goodness.

You've got to be a REAL piece of work to get into people's faces while yelling Proud Boy mantras and telling them to sit the fuck down.

No scenario can excuse his behavior.

#NeverForgetNeverForgive

"I'm not on anyone's side, but he's probably got his own issues and shouldn't we be sensitive to him? Besides, that old bitch shouldn't've mouthed off to that man in the first place. She got what was coming to her. Maybe she'll learn to mind her own business now and stop harassing normal people."

R234.

I just feel like misery and bitterness is a rabbit hole, but so is peace and love. If you go down the latter you may not get to avenge every grievance but you’ll bring more peace to you in the long run. If you go down the one of anger and bitterness, that’s all you’re really going to get.

Sorry I choose peace.

R236.

While R236 is singing Kumbaya some aggro Ryan-type is punching an old lady in the neck.

That “When they go low” shit didn’t work five years ago Michelle so just drop it. We live in a different world.
