Have you ever been on a train and gotten harassed by an elderly man who assumes you're homosexual, slaps you, and then offers to have sex with you because he is "a gay" too?
Well, now you have.
A video uploaded by Facebook user Joe DeMarini showed just such a situation.
This is his recollection of the incident.
I was with a friend and he approached me--drunk--and said he was gay, and that he wanted to f*ck me. He said, "I know you're gay, so let's f*ck."
This went on for several minutes and I tried to politely diffuse the situation, but then he began to yell at my friend when she intervened; I wouldn't let this stand, and started to become angry myself.
He threatened her, and some other people on the train intervened (several were filming). He touched me, and I told him not to, and I briefly lost my temper--after that he slapped me on the side of the head.
He kept going on and on, and when a woman tried to take his picture, he attempted to kick her phone out of her hand. When my friend and I got off at our stop, he got off as well, but we managed to evade him and leave the station without him following us.
He went on to clarify in the Facebook post that he wasn't gay.
Which, as Marini noted, doesn't really matter in this instance at all.
Seek help
A telling part of the video came about when the elderly man said this.
Singapore got no law, are you from America? Singapore got no law, you can touch me, I can touch you.
Which is a wholly untrue statement.
But a form of that mentality was also present in DeMarini's reason for not defending himself.
For those asking "Why didn't you fight back or call the police?" I say, "I am a white immigrant in a country where I do not have citizenship and am a minority--law enforcement may not take my side, despite video and photo evidence."
Again, no, if you are under duress, regardless of where you are from, please do approach the relevant authorities.
The drama was finally cut short when 2 passengers helped separate the elderly man from DeMarini.
Moral of the story, don't drink and then proposition people to have sex, because of some incredibly vague signal.
Here's the transcript
