NYC Man won't face charges for slapping a young woman who bullied him on the train

[apples and oranges]

The man in the 8-ball jacket ​seen slapping a belligerent woman on the F train ​in an online video that went viral ​had all charges against him dropped Monday afternoon after authorities ​determined he was acting in self-defense, his lawyer told The Post.

Jorge Pena spent four nights in jail after the brawl, which ​was widely viewed after footage was posted ​to YouTube, before making his $1,000 bail early Tuesday.

A law enforcement source confirmed that all the charges against Pena were dismissed.

Pena’s lawyer, Cary London, said he thinks the charges were thrown out because the woman in the video appeared to be the aggressor.

Good. It's obvious that he was defending himself, and listening to his voice, it also sounds like Pena has a cognitive delay.

1. Poor guy. I'll never understand how anyone could treat a human being like that.

What kind of filth must you be to abuse someone with a developmental disorder? Not very bright either, that guy was a giant.

[Warpy]

2. Yeah, something was going on with him

that made him a target for a gang of bullies.

And yes, it looks like he was shoved more than once.

3. I saw that video.

What a nasty, hateful piece of work that woman is.

4. Of all the guys on the train to bully

She picks the dude who looks about 6'7". And lol @ that guy who jumped in to defend them and got owned.

14. I read the article at the link--the guy worked as a bouncer. Yep, she really picked

the wrong person to attack--and so did her friend who tried to jump him after he hit her back.

Both she and her friend deserved what they got.

5. Why are people so cruel..

I don't understand it.

[madville]

6. She appears to hit him first

And then he has two or three of her friends, male and female, he has to fend off. Glad his charges got dismissed, sucks that it took him four days to get out of jail though.

7. K & R !

Fantastic news!

[tblue37]

8. I am too deaf to understand words on videos. Could any of you

understand what the women were yelling about in the first place?

[sir pball]

10. They were insulting him.

At one point a bystander says "why are you yelling at hom?" and she outright says "because he sounds stupid, yo!" and carries on with her insane tirade.

15. The bouncer has a speech impediment...

Jorge was the one that asked 'Why'd you do that?' after Danay smacked the phone the first time.
Jorge said 'I don't talk, why'd you get mad?'
Danay says 'You sound stupid' because of the way he talks.
Jorge says 'Dirty b****' and she responds by hitting him with her shoes.

17. This is one time when you don't need to schedule an ass kicking. Since

one has already been provided.

11. Good. I almost wish he had knocked her cold.

I've lived in NYC for about six years now and the only two times I've thought I might have to physically fight it was with women.

And yeah, if a female attacks me, I'm going to fight back with everything I have. If that makes me a woman-beater or bad person or whatever, so be it. Crazy girl at the bat last month randomly smashed another girl in the face with a glass, the victim's boyfriend straight punched her unconscious...and the NYPD proceeded to bundle her into the ambulance in handcuffs. I call that a reasonable outcome.
