Video of subway confrontation between trans woman and mouthy boy cause for much controversy [video]

”You better stop fucking with me or I’m gonna blindfold all of y’all. You’re gonna be calling 9-11, you better stop fucking with me. Bitch, it’s my birthday tomorrow, and I’m not going to have it.”

Outtake of a video that became instantly famous this week on FunnyOrDie and YouTube. The decidedly unfunny incident features footage of an individual who appears to be a transgender woman in a hot-pink dress confronting another woman and her two boys which repeatedly taunt her. The alleged trans woman takes out what appears to be mace or pepper spray and spritzes the youngest of the boys in the face, then walks off the train, leaving the boy to scream in agony. FunnyOrDie says the video was recorded on the Los Angeles Subway and lists it under ”Crackhead Hooker Maces KId” while someone reposted it to YouTube under ”OMG! Tranny Mases Little Boy On The Subway Because The Kid Was Clowning On The Gay Guy!” Between the two sites, the video has been viewed nearly 800,000 times this week. (FunnyOrDie) (YouTube)
