I would see these dark, dank corridors in movies. Floor to ceiling tile. Graffiti on the walls, shady characters lurking in the shadows.
I never really knew what to think of these locations, because I never really had been to them.
With everyone carrying a cell phone with a camera these days, much of that world has been revealed.
Every day, it seems a new video hits the net with public transit violence of one kind or another.

I just wanted to show everyone that violence is out there. Due to the brevity of the video, it's hard to tell exactly what happened. But as a martial artist, you should all see the martial mistakes that the victim made.
-Implementing force without the ability deal with the consequences.
-Getting trapped against a wall
-Going to the ground
-Dealing with multiple attackers
-"Surrender"

I posted about this story when it first broke. Tristan also posted a good write up on the blog about 1 punch kills. Very interesting stuff. This appears to be a case of self-defense? Who can really tell. I think the difficulties here are this:
-Drunk
-Ages
-The very small amount of actual strikes
-Problems with the opposite gender.
I will try to follow this case, but it is important to think of the legal issues the surround us in our violent world.
I almost forgot! I wanted to explain the association with this story and my "Jaw" article. Reports indicate that the victim was punched "in the face". That tells me that it was the Jaw that was struck. If I had to guess on what happened, I would say that he was punched in the jaw, caused a Knockout (mechanical failure) and then his head hit something on the way down. Thus turning our Blue Target, into a Red Target.
See you on Sunday!
