as long as there is money to be made, people like huckster Al Sharpton will be there to stir the pot and get rich off it somehow.

a BLACK homeless man? DAMN SON, YOU GOT YOURSELF A CRISIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


when WILL we get to be 'post-racial'? I feel most americans probably are, but black americans - no, they perpetuate the victimization thing. again, as i said in an earlier post, who would give 2 sh*ts about this guy on the subway platform otherwise?

its all self-serving. first, lets see if this is "murder" (AOC, you're just dumb - stop flapping your stupid mouth), then prosecute accordingly. but interjecting the racial element in all this? it keeps this entire country from truly 'progressing'.

that is very racist - that the story takes a different course if its a black victim/white perpetrator. no one sees the unsettling truth in that????

This is why we are a serious mental health crisis in this country. Something the left fails to do anything about. Instead they cry about guns and other BS to deflect from the real problem.

Left is a mental problem in itself. So it’s two problems in one.

That’s that person and their family’s problem. (If they know he is mental and cared about his safety they should be keeping a close eye on him instead of letting him run around the city committing 42 priors.) It would be no different if this fool did something stupid and suicidal like walking onto a busy highway. He is going to get killed sooner or later and that’s what happened. Your sympathy could be better reserved for the thousands of other people who died tragically, this is not one of them.

noticed the fake media and triggered protesters are a bit quiet about the marine. I suspect they are working extra hard to dig any dirt so he can be called a racist or Trumpist

There’s no money in a young former Marine. The goal is always to generate city lawsuits against cops.

The family can always try suing the Marine Corp itself. I don't think they would be very successful.

It won’t and they won’t. Has nothing to do with the Marines.

Well they gotta sue somebody. Maybe the MTA can be held responsible? Definitely not the psychotic criminal harassing everyone on the train or the irresponsible people that brought him into the world and failed to take care of him.

I agree! The guns were never the problem. This country has always had a culture of guns but mass shootings are fairly recent: Let’s see - They’ve removed everything spiritual out of schools and therefore have created an environment of hopelessness and a lack personal responsibility, they’ve introduced “the science” which in part means drugging up people for the simplest of problems like going through a breakup; they’ve genetically modified our foods which has created endocrine disrupters resulting in mental illness not to mention diabetes and heart disease, and they have created social problems by diminishing the importance of the family unity. What the hell else do people expect?
