Did you noticed how the people sitting around this guy were either completely clueless of what was going on, or didn’t think anything of it. Either way Gross.

that’s how the foot and mouth disease starts

He’s not mentally ill. Everyone is weird in one way or another. If it don’t hurt another, get your freak on!

Everyone wants a shot a the next YouTube video that goes viral. Tell you what, instead of picking on people like this fella, video yourself and the things “you do”. You’ll see this shoe licking thing probably pails in comparison.

someone should file a civil suit against CBS for biggotry and hateful acts against the mentally ill…..if this were someone poking fun at someone based on color they would be in court fighting the next day…..

PLEASE END DISCRIMINATION AND BIGGOTRY AGAINST THE MENTALLY ILL. OUR MOST OPPRESSED GROUP OF SOCIETY!!!

$104 a month for this

That’s what you call a NYC spit shine

Someone must have told him about a spit shine and he thought they said lick shine !!

Where are the cops ? This guy is just another mentally disturbed person who should be in a institution on meds ! I guess we just have to wait until he attacks someone !!

Maybe he’s a “journalist” for cbs news?

Why that’s a gourmet meal in NYC!

I blame Rex Ryan….

So what!

Huh, ok this stuff happens all the time RELAX people

maybe he didnt take his medication that day.

ITS NYC need anyone say more.

o yuck!

CBS like so much of the rest of the media is now nothing more than a shadow of it’s former self. Why even post this ? This could be on some high school kids blog. Not the “news”
The media is a joke and our countries stature in the world is plummeting is just one result.

Whatever happened to shoe polish?

I blame Carlos Beltran.

wow, thank you cbs for bringing another life changing story my way. go journalism!

This shouldn’t be news. 1010 WINS should report about how working class NYers can’t afford to live in Brooklyn anymore. 1010 should do a story on how neighborhoods like mine have turned into an idealized and romanticized version of Brooklyn that doesn’t include or consider any real Brooklynites. Please, no more cheese stores and organic coffee shops!!!

Not saying he isn’t weird but maybe he had a job interview or a meeting of some sort and he needed to get his shoes to shine. there are a lot of posabilitys for this but it’s still nasty. i would of just wet my shirt and cleaned it. I mean the militray spit shine there shoes but there is no tounge loving lol

Stuff like this has always existed on the trains. The difference now is that everyone is armed with a cell phone cam. Everyone is a fcukin filmmaker these days.

just another nutbag waitng to explode one day on the train.
