Well, wow, here is a doorman watching a crazy white guy (the one in black and white) try to beat the hell out of another guy (and losing). It is pretty amazing that the residents of the building step over the brawl to go into their apartments. The fight started when the white guy "asked me if I was Korean" and then called him "a chink," according to the (intended) victim. Pretty much everyone at 63 Wall Street should be shot into space.

Of course, the people walking in the door don't have a union excuse.
Kitty Genovese is spinning in her grave...

Boys will be boys, let them tucker themselves out.
I blame Punk'd and Jackass etc. After seeing so many little set-ups like this that traffic in drawing in or humiliating bystanders...

The doorman should've called Terminix.
Three "Asianesque" posts in a row?
Trend watchers are wondering if The Awl is in the thrall of the Orient or if something else is afoot. Could this be the anticipated cash infusion from Nissan? Stay tuned Awl readers; there's something in the air and is smells of a plum-ginger glaze.

Not as interesting as Marion Barry's condo lobby CCT feed.
"Mr Barry, there's a lady down here who claims you left her in Denver?"
"Send her up?"
This is New York. You could a full re-enactment of a cattle mutilation/alien abduction-anal probe/ featuring Mark Wahlberg and Paris Hilton and people would still walk past with the 100 yard stare.
