City assholes ruin peaceful train ride
From Fox 5:
Imagine a party so wild that people scream and hold each other up, while you have to step over piles of vomit. But this party isn't some kind of crazy college blow-out -- it's a ride on a commuter train.
Fox 5's Andrea Day checked out an infamous evening Long Island Rail Road train that leaves from Hampton Bays. It's known for its wild and rowdy behavior.
Read Andrea's blog for some more background.

Those cops are useless.If they are drunk,arrest them,or at least throw them off the train.No wonder mta cops get no respect!
So you would rather have these drunks in a car driving? This is a story about nothing.
I would rather have these folks be told they can't board the train until they sober up.
This story provides an important service--telling the unsuspecting what trains not to go on.
Now parents, schools and other authority figures have to do theirs--warn their kids about responsible drinking and enforce the dram shop laws.
Do you know that it is illegal for a bartender to continue to serve an obviously drunk patron? Since this is the only bar for miles around, it is time to warn these people to cut off their patrons more aggressively or lose their licenses.

Have you ever been to the Boardy Barn? The patrons show up drunk after having beer all day at the beach. I once saw a guy piss on the bar as he was ordering more drinks. Needless to say, that was my last visit to the Boardy Barn (over 20 years ago!)
Resposible drinking? Oxymoron? Paradox?
Those 2 words cannot be used in conjunction with each other.
What a fucking joke.
I was on the 7 train coming home at 2:00 Am and there weren't too many people (there were about 2 seats for every 1 person) on the train so I fell asleep and ended up taking two seats. A cop wakes me up and ends up arresting me (he didn't right me a summons because I hopped the train when I was a young idiot and if you are a transit offender once you can no longer recieve tickets) and taking me to jail for taking up two seats....
This guy in the video IS LAYING IN THE entrance to the LIRR piss drunk and the cop tells him to find a seat. Now I don't know the rules for the LIRR but that to me would warrant a arrest?
NYPD are bastard pieces of shit if you ask me.
I got in something like this on the train on Saturday-- do I have to call it the L.I. Double-R? Please, no! Anyway, at 12-1pm, about 30 young adults swarmed onto the train, already drunk, liberally tatooed and pierced, screaming back and forth, drinking on the train. I think they got off at H.B. I was heading from the city out to the Hamptons. It was not fun getting stuck in the middle of that. Rude, stupid people with no manners at all.

Yes - it's all about you. I noticed you wrote "right" when you meant to write, well, "write", but you can spell the "f" word correctly. Next time, don't hop a turnstyle and don't fall asleep on the train.
I see you meant to write "turnstile" but instead wrote "turnstyle."
Next time, spell correctly.
bullshit if this went on in the boroughs all of them would of been taken in for public intoxication, all of them. more yuppie privileges equal rights my ass
Each year, the New York City Transit Adjudication Bureau (TAB) holds more than 20,000 hearings to determine the guilt or innocence of alleged violators of the New York City Transit Authority’s rules of conduct. The hearings are closed to the public unless an accused person consents to an observer’s presence. This practice shrouds the hearings in secrecy, depriving the public of information about the fairness of the hearing process and accused transit riders of an understanding of the adjudication process, and concealing important public information concerning police activity in the public transit system.
In recent years, the NYPD has issued up to 171,000 citations annually for violations of the New York City Transit Authority’s rules of conduct. Violations include fare evasion, public intoxication, unreasonable noise and obstructing pedestrian traffic. Officers can either issue summonses returnable to the TAB or criminal court.

I think it's great. I'm just envious that I never had the opportunity to be one of these Hamptons weekender Boardy Barn kids. Now I'm too damn old. If they are able to contain the party to a few cars that's cool. Just be smart enough at the platform to get on the train far away from the rowdy bunch.
That's the future of America, damn it!
The cops detained the girl from Hicksville who was sold an expired ticket, but did nothing about this bunch of white trash. Way to go! NYC stupidity at its finest!
first it's long island at it finest!
they're young and doing most likely what we have all done! thank god they're not driving. maybe the LIR needs to add more trains, they know the nights this is happening......
NYC, Long Island - doesn't matter. The stupidity afflicting both is one and the same.
Non-story. Keep them in cabs and on the trains, do not over police which will send them back into their motor vehicles to drive and kill. The video didn't show too much rowdiness. They may have had too much too drink, but seemed fairly controlled. Where's Duetzmann, on vacation?
