Dude most people are idiots, especially those that think their opinion matters on social networking sites.
To be honest the news agencies were referring to the The Chechen Republic, commonly referred to as Chechnya and most people would probably just assume that some people shorten it to Czech…I’m not sure how, but I’ve seen people do plenty of things that don’t make any damn sense.
That was tame, the NYPD officers showed restraint imo. During my 5-6 years of daily commuting into and out of NYC the reaction from the cops in situations like this was much less “polite.” I don’t blame them one bit. People can be animals and potentially cause a much more dangerous situation. I’m surprised it took as long as it did for the back up to arrive. Plain clothes cops usually swarm a scene like that so fast when shit gets crazy on the platforms. They are real quick to take down the biggest trouble maker in a hardcore fashion. Usually slows all the other idiots down a bit.
That’s pretty fucking horrifying. I can’t even imagine the amount of pain.
From Wikipedia:
[QUOTE]These snakes are known to search for rodents in coffee and banana plantations. Workers there are often bitten by the snakes, which can lie camouflaged for hours, nearly undetectable, and strike with high speed.
Their venom consists mostly of hemotoxins. They are much feared because their venom is particularly lethal and fast acting. Presently, treatment is usually possible if the victim receives medical attention soon enough.[8] Commonly, bites from this snake cause symptoms including nausea, blackouts, and paralysis. In almost all cases, temporary and sometimes permanent loss of local or ‘short term’ memory were reported. Extended hospital stays, as well as weight loss of up to 15 pounds, have also been reported. Venom yield averages 124 milligrams (1.91 gr), although it may be as much as 342 milligrams (5.28 gr). The enzyme reptilase (batroxobin), derived from this snake’s venom, is used in modern medical laboratories to measure fibrinogen levels and blood coagulation capability. The test is considered to be a replacement for thrombin time, and is used when heparin is present in the sample. The enzyme is unaffected by heparin.

According to one of the sites that I looked at the tissue is destroyed so they probably removed the dead skin then put in absorbing padding to clean it and prevent infection along with remove it later.
