No one has sympathy for the guy in this brutal attack. How does it feel to be emotionally manipulated by a Strawman? Every case is different. I don’t feel universal sympathy for perpetrators of crime. Vast majority of normal people don’t feel that. Get off social media if that’s your perception of “other people.” |
Paralyzed from the neck down. I doubt it. |
A few other points of evidence: -He entered the subway system at her station -He jumped a turnstile, likely to avoid being tracked in the system. This hints at a degree of premeditation. |
| There is no evidence that she knew him. He may have wanted her in some way but she is completely innocent. This is a sickening tragedy. |
We need to institutionalize these folks, bring back insane asylums |
My sister was smashed in the face with a hammer by a mentally ill homeless man in Seattle. Narrowly avoided her eye. I definitely try to steer clear. I have a very compassionate child who will loudly ask “Should we help that man?” and it’s so hard to explain why we don’t. |
Only because you said so...Moron. |
NP. There have been protests for the lunatic who was choked to death by the marine. The same people up in arms about that have nothing to say about this women who is now paralyzed. Or the Asian people pushed onto the tracks. Or… |
America has never cared much about women getting beat up, unfortunately. You can thank misogyny, the courts, the police, and the press for that. |
Are you kidding, she is disabled for life he pushed her head into an oncoming train and broke her spine. |
She's not going to recover. I hope she can find a way to continue her art, though. |
She has been moving her arms, so there is hope. |

This is partly why I teach my kids to stay far from the track until our train has arrived and stopped. Partly it’s because one can stumble but also crazy people around.
Though honestly, my guess is my kids will never take metro again, it’s going to wither in this post pandemic world. So tragic for this woman. |
+1. Not on the same level, but pre-pandemic I was assaulted by a homeless man at Farragut West Metro station in the daytime. I was at the top of the escalators a couple steps away from getting on and he rammed me from the side into the wall. I didn't even see him until he hit me. I was dazed and in pain but managed to escape to the escalator without further incident. |
Kids are so naive and sweet. I remember feeling the same towards homeless when I was young. We make sandwiches for a church that has a homeless program, and that helps my child feeling like they’re doing something. There are homeless who have children and truly try to do their best, and others they are strung out and dangerous and psychopaths, and we shouldn’t act like they’re one and the same. |
