It is grossly disingenuous to assert, as the author does, that the passengers were merely experiencing "discomfort and anxiety." Mr. Neely screamed at them, in an enclosed space, that he didn't “mind going to jail and getting life in prison." Surely they were aware of what kind of conduct can lead to a life sentence. This was a clear threat of horrific violence. "Discomfort," indeed.
I fear that Mr. Neely will very soon become part of the racial narrative of the left. And no, of course, making people uncomfortable does not justify killing.
But, he was not merely making people "uncomfortable", like a pianist who hits several discordant notes for an audience. He was in a closed, subterranean space, with no law enforcement, gesticulating wildly and telling people he didn't care if he died.
In point of fact, no rider on that train knew what was going to happen. That is terrifying. Until government tries to understand how out of control our society is becoming (yet another mass shooting in Georgia, this time at a fast food restaurant), and takes action to restore a sense of predictability in the public sphere, more events like this will occur.
I feel like I'm fucking John Nada from They Live seeing all the consent being manufactured in real time in the last few months that the homeless need to be purged. Between this and the San Fran stabbing that was quickly blamed on a homeless person.
Trump literally came out and said his plan was to build concentration camps for them: this is now where the mainstream right is. I am sure a lot of liberals would be on board even if they’d never admit it in polite society
They’d go beyond indifferent, they’d love it. The experience of living in a city as a PMC would be dramatically improved. The cost doesn’t matter, as long as it’s invisible and externalized, shit all of American society is built on that principle.
I just read a NYT op-ed. And the coments made me want to fedpost.

As long as it won't get in the way of brunch and consuming marvel products they wouldn't give a shit.
