We are at the point in this country where you just hope you don’t come in contact with someone who is having a bad day because folks don’t deal with their bad days internally anymore. They are ready to kill you over shit that ain’t got nothing to do with you at a moment’s notice

A man frustrated with cars racing by his Oakland home opened fire with an assault rifle at passing cars, killing a woman who was just passing by in her car, according to authorities. cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n

yes we do, it was bad. the failure of our society to provide decent housing and medical care does not somehow give a random guy license to choke someone to death on a subway car

We don't know enough to judge what happened to Jordan Neely, but lots of people who don't live in New York and lots of people who don't ride the subway have a lot of opinions on this and they need to take a seat. It's working class New Yorkers who have to face down this violence.

Limited imaginations are an epidemic. “So we’re just supposed to let unhoused mentally ill people threaten us and do nothing?” 1) the only two choices are not “kill them” and “do nothing” 2) nothing that happened in that subway car had to happen. dare to imagine a better world.

I lived in NY for 2 years. Do you know how many times a homeless person was on the train yelling? Pretty much every day. You know how many times I actually felt threatened or in danger? 0.

i honestly believe the unspoken rule in new york for the entire 30 years i spent growing up there was: yes the unhoused person may be agitating you but you can take some screaming cuz they have it way worse. never seen ANYONE attack an unhoused person in distress. i’m so angry.

they blew up abortion clinics with nail bombs and shot doctors dead in the sanctuaries of their churches

The freakout you are witnessing from the left is very instructive. When Roe was handed down 49 years ago, pro-lifers didn’t riot, didn’t call for SCOTUS to be burned down, didn’t threaten the lives of justices, didn’t try to stack the Court. 1/ 🧵
