You didn't ride them in the 80s....they'd steal your sneakers, slice your pockets and empty...wild.

Seriously. I started taking the subway from Queens to Manhattan for high school in '89 and those were some crazy days. Friends got stabbed one day, i got robbed what seems like every other day. People still laugh at my skittles story - 14 year old me just wanted to eat some skittles on my ride home and some kids even tried taking THOSE from me.

Pretty sure my crime was eating candy while white.

Of course it was! Don't kid yourself.

Ok well I rode since 2000 which is still 20 years ago now. So get over your 80s they sucked and it sucks now who gives a shit gramps. The point is your 80s are back.

We’re nowhere near 80s levels of crime…

I’m sure that’s a real consolation to this teen you dope.
