    So a bunch of Patriot Front Nazis (AKA rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists) met their nemesis in the NYC subway turnstiles and yes it does call to mind the movie I quoted up there:

    I mean, say what you will about the Third Reich, THEY wouldn't have let a turnstile stop them getting into Poland. These fuckers are weaksauce.

    Technically, I think the line was "dimes," but inflation.

    Wow. Props for the acting here.

    Obviously all these New York Field Office Fibbies know how to work a damn turnstile but they play exurban rubes confused by decades old tech so well.

    Seems to me, if those humiliating 3-D X-rays at airports can look at you naked, they can certainly cut through a ski mask.
    Why don't they make a portable one of those just for masks?
    Probably because it would be 60-70% cops.
    Its probably been floated as an idea, and the cops were like "mumble grumble, civil liberties, mumble grumble, intrusion, mumble grumble...:?:".

    Like for real this shit isn’t complicated. If a 17 year old Anc* from bumfuck Alabama can figure out how to use the Subway (pretty sure same turnstiles, new ones just take Mobile Pay PLUS MTA Cards) all on his own these middle aged Master Race motherfuckers shouldn’t have any problem.

    *If you took AP Humanities you got to go on the New York Trip. Met, MoMA, Tavern on the Green, couple Broadway plays (Aida >>>>>>> Music Man) great trip.

    This hayseed from Idaho had to fumble with it a bit, but a helpful MTA agent (really, there is such a thing) set me straight and got me on my way. Obviously their brains don't generate enough power to allow them to walk and navigate at turnstile at the same time. :ramen:
