Humans can be so horrible to someone who is in dire pain. It is painful to be hungry, horrible feeling to be homeless. That we humans let that happen to others shows how cold humans can be to each other. Buildings sit empty and food goes to waste every day.

@more_contentpls

You're right. But, to be honest, I don't want Americans getting together and trying to "help" homeless people anymore. The last time y'all did that, you just reinstituted committing people against their will. Americans don't know how to help people so please just stop.

It is a crime and a moral failing that the wealthiest country in the world does so little for the unhoused and the impoverished; it in fact keeps so many unhoused and impoverished and then punishes them for it. And in the case of Jordan Neely—executes them, publicly lynches them.

I often think about how I would react to being unhoused, hungry, tired. It's not pretty. Once you put yourself in their shoes - I mean really think about it - yeah, I would be angry and upset too. That he was murdered for it shows how crappy humans are.

I agree, and I was disgusted and ashamed no one stopped the lynching of Jordan Neely. God damn it.

Replying to

Worse, to me, two aided in the lynching. Two humans saw the situation, overcame inertia and decided the thing to do in that situation was to participate in a murder. It was/is more pro-social to harm & kill than it was/is to be a struggling human. That is terrifying, to me.

I’m blown away also not a single person seemed to care at all about a human who clearly had a disease of the brain. If they were having a diabetes episode, we can restrain them? No one offered him drink or food when he clearly stated his needs. Appalling and disgusting

As someone else hear remarked, if that was a dog in a chokehold, the entire carriage would have erupted and saved it.

Someone explain why we inflict trauma on people for being poor? PTSD & other mental health issues can be exacerbated as well as created by the trauma of no support, no home, no food & living under a threat of violence Nevermind, time to get your nails done... I stand with Mona

Unfortunately the take of too many in NYC (and across the US) is that they should not exist in places they can be seen. It insults their elitist exceptionalism to have to deal with what we create and for which we have no compassion... How Malthusian

Every time I think we've hit bottom, there's another level or two lower to go. We live in a world where people are actually arguing that this murder was justified, and I'm really not ok with that.

I made this in March 2020: There are enough houses, no one should be homeless There is enough food, no one should be hungry There is enough health care, no one should be w/out healthcare There is enough money, no one should be poor 🎥

I am disgusted that no one intervened to help Jordan and to stop that white racist fuck from murdering him. Remember: when white cops murder Black men by putting them in chokeholds as the world watches, they give a green light to white vigilantes like Jordan’s murderer.

A political clash over how to solve some of the city’s biggest problems gapes wider after a subway rider choked and killed another passenger.
