Trying to ignore the guy with the arrest record a mile long and who is currently making you 'uncomfortable' by screaming obscenities in your face because he is mentally ill or high on drugs; can also get you killed when he pulls out a knife or pushes you into the path of an oncoming train.
No kidding. I feel like people have really lost the plot. I'm not sure they even understand what they're supporting at this point. On one hand you have people claiming that not adhering to whatever ideology of the week is literal violence, and then they dismiss an actual violent criminal as just making people feel uncomfortable. I think this kind of pushing the limits of credulity is intentional.
> Having an arrest record means I can strangle you in public for being too loud
Having a record of illegal gun possession [1]—and allegations of assault, attempted murder and trying to push people on the tracks—makes me question the facts and circumstances that led three people [2] to use force to subdue him.
That doesn’t justify death. But it might be less than manslaughter. In short, let’s wait for the full picture. (The public figures turning this into a media circus should be better.)
