NYDN – State lawmakers, prosecutors and women are outraged that a chronic pervert who masturbated on three subway riders got off with no prison time — courtesy to the state’s highest court. Darnell Hardware, 27, got three years probation last week because Court of Appeals judges ruled earlier this year that subway grinders — as they are called by law enforcement — can’t be charged with felonies if they don’t use force to pursue their repulsive perversion. In other words, it’s gross, but it’s not violent. ”The court system has let him get away scott free,” said Nicola Briggs, 40, of Manhattan, who has faced down a subway grinder before. “It’s a slap on the wrist, honestly. I do not think the punishment did fit the crime.” Prosecutors say dozens of subway sickos have walked away from charges that could have carried up to seven years since the high court’s March ruling. In Hardware’s case, the pervert has indeed been prolific, with a rap sheet that includes 32 arrests, including two sexual assault cases in the Bronx and Brooklyn. The recent subterranean charges stemmed from three incidents in Manhattan between 2003 and 2005, when Hardware rubbed himself to orgasm on two young women aged 22 and 24, and a 17-year-old high school student. ”She could feel what was happening but (was) powerless to move,” Assistant District Attorney Melissa Mourges said of one victim.

Now you’re in Newwww Yoorrrrrk. Concrete jungle where you’re allowed to jerk off on helpless people stuck in crowded subwaaaysss! There’s nothing you can’t dooooo!

Listen I’ve been on packed subways. There have been times where I’ve felt like a Japanese person crammed in there like sardines. Ass to dick with arm pits in my face and nowhere to go. But I fuckin promise you if anyone ever pulls their dick out and starts masturbating I will find a way to get the fuck away from him. I don’t care if I’m knocking through pregnant women, old ladies and children. Ain’t no way I’m gonna sit there and let someone “pursue their repulsive perversion” all up on me. Powerless just ain’t an adjective I’m willing to accept if someone is about to ejaculate on me.

So now that New York State has pretty much given subway pervs the green light to use me and anybody else as their jizz canvas, I’ll probably think twice about pushing my way on to that crowded 6 train with the creeper in the trenchcoat. Don’t need Harry Homeless painting happy little trees on me with his Titanium White.
