I see nothing in the linked testimony that Cabey was at the other end of the car.
There is a conductor booth at each end of a NYC subway car. Saying that he was by the booth does not mean he was at the other end. Bernie sat in the rear of the car near the boys. They were near a conductor booth.
Wow, Bernie Goetz. Haven’t thought about this guy in a long time. I remember when he shot those thugs. I was living in Kentucky and we all took a collection for the guy to buy himself a better pistol. I think the money probably went for legal expenses instead. Alas!

So fucking what? I hear this shit all the time and I have yet to be told what’s so great about a family-owned hardware store. I’ve been in and out of hardware stores my entire life. My experience of small ones is that they are cramped firetraps which are fine for every-day tools and hardware but won’t have what you need otherwise. (But they can order it, and it will take a week.) Or, I can go to Home Depot and get tools, hardware, lumber, fixtures, a hot dog, my choice of 68 models of doorbell button, and excellent advice, all for far cheaper than I could at a small hardware store. Fuck hardware stores. That business model is dead. It’s as dead as apothecaries and nickelodeons, because the alternatives are better. Why pay for a zoetrope when you’ve got IMAX? Some people will fail to adapt. Sucks to be them. That’s business. It’s not nice. It’s hard, and you adapt to changing markets or you die.
Besides, now that the space where the hardware store used to be is empty, they can make way for the artisanal vegan cheese store and the coffee shop with the white guy with dreadlocks. Don’t you want your very own dreadlocked white guy to make you cappuccino? I thought so.
No there isn’t. There’s at most one booth per married pair, at least on the models I’m familiar with.
Well on the models I’m familiar with there are usually booths at either end so any car can be the lead car in either direction.
I live in NYC and ride the subways everyday.
Unless I’m mistaken it took place on an old IRT “Redbird” like this.
You can see the booth at the front right corner and you can see the conductor window on the far left end. That is the other booth.
What a bullshit pile of arrogant assumptions. Hope you weren’t asking that question of me. Pal.
That’s it! Get your Goetz on!
You’re right - the R26 did indeed have half-width conductor’s booths on the coupled number-2 ends. Modern models do not have them in every car since they have transverse conductor’s cabs on alternate cars.
You should calm down a bit. I recommend a nice mocha latte and some Angry Birds.
Hey, I got it.
Middletown or Goshen?
Monroe. Home of Velveeta !!! 
Goddam, you beat me to it! 
This super duper hardware store where you can get everything? It’s in that same space where the old hardware store is, right? Oh wait, no, you have to drive 5 miles if not more. It takes the same amount of time to get there as it did to just walk a block or two downtown to the family hardware store. And you used to get a nice walk and saved on transportation costs in the process.
When I was growing up I lived out in a rural area, more than a mile from the nearest general store. The nearest department store was more than 3 miles away, and that seemed like a huge gulf of a distance at the time. Now, the Sprawl-Mart is 3 miles away from me straight through suburbia and everybody acts like it’s normal. Me, I go to the K-Mart that’s only a block or two from me (and for the stuff I can’t get there, I go to the Target that’s even farther than the Wal*Mart but that’s another story.)
I’m trying to find this cited somewhere. All I can find is this link…
…which seems to say that Ramseur didn’t rape her himself, but held the gun on her while some unknown other guy assaulted her. Why was he convicted of rape?
[QUOTE=From the article]
Because he held the gun, Ramseur was considered to have committed the same acts as the other person, [the Bronx DA] said.

Given the detail you provided, it seems like you have a different source of info?
If you were a mile from the general store and three miles from a department store you weren’t in much of a rural area, at least not as I define such things.
There are lots of reasons one could be saddened by gentrification, but resenting that “beckies” can walk the streets in safety is just stupid.
Pittsburgh has undergone extensive renovation/gentrification in the last couple decades. Anybody who became nostalgic for the rotting industrial sites, boarded up streetfronts, and crime that were hallmarks of the region in the 80’s and 90’s would have to be an idiot.
People are funny, though. The folks in the city where I teach seem to take a perverse pride in having a violent crime rate disproportionately higher than everywhere in the surrounding county and even Pittsburgh itself.
I couldn’t see my nearest neighbors, and was on a farm on a dirt road, that’s good enough for me.
Was it a Cumberland Farm?
I love Orlando and I have no plans to live anywhere else in my lifetime. On some level, I’m sort of proud that we had the highest violent crime rate in America last year (seriously- we beat Detroit!)
