Randy,
Evidently this hipster shoved a guy on the subway. Perhaps the local was not walking fast enough or wanted to get around the local who was in the hipster's way. Also know that this event happened in East Harlem which is gentrifying at an alarming rate.
Also I have been pushed and shoved by all kinds of people, and depending on my mood sometimes I either shove back, go crazy or one time I elbowed this woman right in the nipple (inadvertantly because she was pushing me down a crowded staircase). I didn't aim, I wasn't looking, and I only learned that I hurt her because she was cursing at me in Spanish, and I cursed her right back in Spanish. I just swung my elbow really hard to send a clear message. BTW the staircase was mobbed and was a sea of people.
As far as shoving and pushing on the subway the worst is the Bedford stop on the "L" train (hipster haven), and anywhere on the 6 train. They say that more people ride the 6 train in a day than the entire Washington DC Mass transit.
Anyways the word entitlement comes to mind, and sometimes I find myself hard pressed to restrain myself from the good old days (1970's). I kinda give a lot of credit to the local for restraining himself.
The way Maggie explained it to me the hipster knew what he did was wrong, and he suddenly saw a severe beating coming.
At the Bedford "L" Maggie repeatedly reported getting pushed from behind from hipsters when we lived in Williamsburg.

The 6 train I can agree with that.
