So then install fare gates that cannot be jumped, like in other (non-US) cities. |

They do not seek care on their own. And it is not enough that mental health comes by and checks in with them from time to time. Many do need to be institutionalized. Even people who actively seek care and are engaged, there are not enough mental health beds and hospitals available! Not even close! For all the talk about mental health for the last 20 years we have gotten nowhere! Waiting lists are longer than ever for anything outpatient, even if you want to pay out of pocket! Wait times for inpatient are as long as ever! Absolutely nothing has improved in the last 20 years, regardless of who is president and who is in Congress!!! |

I agree completely. This was obviously a severely (dangerously) mentally ill person (and a repeat offender). We need to make the commitment to bring back mental health hospitals on the scale of other developed countries (EU, Japan, etc). as we once had here, but we foolishly eliminated in the 1950s through the 1980s. The movement to eliminate these crucial mental-health facilities was called “de-institutionalization” and it quite effectively closed-down virtually every in-patient mental health facility in existence at the time (the so-called “insane asylums”). Problem was: we, as a society, replaced the much-needed mental health services with: nothing. Or virtually nothing. They simply put the severely mentally ill people out on the street, or they dumped them on ill-equipped family (who then turned the patient out, onto the street). Why does everyone wonder why we have so many severely-mentally-ill people living on our streets? Sure: reform was needed by the 60s, but reform did kit happen. Shuttering and elimination happened. Bring back in-patient hospitals, like they still have in the rest of the developed world. Wiki has relevant background information on de institutionalization at this link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinstitutionalisation |

But be fair about it - make all cities safe! Last time I checked NC is a red state and there are plenty of unsafe downtowns in very red states. |

Okay, thanks. I hadn't seen that video (it is the same one in both links). I am not sure that I hear what he is claimed to have said and what he is claimed to have said is slightly different than the statement that I deleted. Also, while that statement explains what he did, it does not explain why he did it, which is the other allegation that I have removed. |

Tell that to the Trump administration |

It is political because of OPs original post Bottom line is violence in this country is committed by white Christian males so is child sexual abuse . Until Republicans are out of office this is only going to get worse From them changing DV laws , divorce laws , and red states DOJ g things like Tennessee new marry little kids bill the violence will get worse. When you pardon people like the Jan 6 th people violence becomes the norm. Again OP started this thread as a political gas light fear mongering issue. |

They do look indifferent, but they are not necessarily truly indifferent. We see the killer walk outside the frame of the camera, but I haven't read if he immediately got off, or was standing at a nearby door for example. I would not expect anyone to "jump" the killer - it already happened at that point. What matters is what they did when the threat was truly gone. Did they call the police, 911? Did anyone go to her? Did they pull the breaks, etc. |

Plus: if he’s severely mentally ill, does it even matter? I mean: let’s focus on the bigger issue here: severe mental illness. And, as someone already pointed, severe mental illness commonly coincides with homelessness. Jeff can tell you we rarely agree, but i tend to think in this case, the ramblings of a madman (a homicidal mad man) are not the main issue here. |

See folks? The PP’s post is clear evidence that deluded, severely mentally ill, people are not only on public transportation, they are posting their crazy conspiracy theories and misrepresentations, right here on DCUM. |

| One thing I don’t understand from watching the video is how calm everybody else was. They have zero reactions. Did they not realize what happened? |

one guy reacted (by making a video of her bleeding to death, so he could later post it to TikTok) |

Exactly. Is this is how we’re going to react now as a society we are truly lost. |
