Why is "not living in fear" so important to conservative identity?

[Anonymous]

Oh wait, she is dead because she did not live in fear. Maybe if she did, she would have sat somewhere else on that train…

Because they are really snowflakes who are scared of women and people of color and need to hde behind their guns and false machismo.

My fellow Ukrainian was just murdered, and you calling me a snowflake because I am scared now to ride on the public transportation? By the way, she was murdered by the person of color, and no, she was not hiding behind any guns or false machismo.

Yes, bad people do bad things, it is true. It was, however a crime of opportunity and the people responsible will be held accountable. It was horrific and tragic. But unless you are putting armed military on every car of every train and every bus and Uber, and every streetcorner in American, I am not sure the solution. Better education, but jobs, make sure people are not so desperate so as to resort to crime and make sure those who are mentally ill receive treatment or institutionalization. We had a lot of this through the 1970's, but Reagan came in and started cutting and gutting and the GOP has followed suit at every chance and now we basically have minimal services for the people who need it most.

The criminal who murdered her had been apprehended tons of times and set free. If we had stricter sentencing for repeat criminals, she would be alive.

DP. Agreed. But sending the National Guard into cities is not going to fix that particular problem. That is a problem with the judicial system and the local political system.

Another aspect to this story is the perp's mental health history. That is also something that can't be addressed by the federal government sending troops to urban areas.

In January 2025, he was arrested for misusing 911 after claiming during a welfare check that a "man-made" material inside his body was controlling his actions, such as when he ate, walked, or talked—indicating possible delusions or mental health issues. Officers classified it as a medical matter and released him without further action. He has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, according to some reports, and his mother reportedly advocated for his incarceration prior to the incident due to concerns about his behavior.

That’s an assumption. If there were police on that train car, she would probably be alive.

Obviously it’s not realistic to always have an officer on every train car, but the presence of law enforcement deters most criminals, except for violent schizophrenics who should be confined and are a proportionally low % of overall offenders.

Having an officer on every train car would be great. Unfortunately it would be logistically challenging and ultimately unaffordable. How would that work in the NYC subway system, which has over 1,700 daily trains and 472 stations? Or Washington's Metro (over 1,200 daily trains)?

Just ask the Ukrainian girl murdered in NC.

Maybe if he was put in jail instead of released by a liberal judge, she would be alive??????

Yeah. Like the Capitol insurrectionists. Several of them had criminal records. And Trump released them.

I see that reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

Why is living with violent crime so important to the liberal identity?

Why do they want the world to know that they’re weak and cowardly?

It sure wasn't liberals who pardoned the violent J6 insurrectionists. Even after JD Vance said they should only pardon the non-violent ones.

Let's face it if Trump and MAGA *actually* cared about crime, instead of using it for a publicity stunt the would restore abortion rights.

"Legalized abortion is estimated to have reduced violent crime by 47% and property crime by 33% over this period, and thus can explain most of the observed crime decline." https://law.stanford.edu/publications/the-impact-of-legalized-abortion-on-crime-over-the-last-two-decades/

Instead the felon and his admin commit crime (the most egregious grift of all time) and will bring about more crime due to their inept policies. God forbid they actually use data to inform their policies.

"Oh say can you see, etc.

The land of the oppressed, And the home, of the, terrified!"

Just doesn't stir the heart.

One shouldn't take unnecessary risks, but a life spent cowering under your blankets is no life at all.

Some believe in a great deal of self-determination, and some want the government to tell them and everyone else how to live and to force it.

Because they were abused or bullied children who now desperately try to project toughness and love their idol Trummpy because they think he will bully their elitist bullies the libs. They have such hole in their souls they think he cares about them. It puzzles them why they are now worse off but it would be WEAK to admit you madeca mistake just to get cheap eggs.
