[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently a homeless man asked  me for money.  I said no apologetically, but he tried to attack me and steal my bag.  He spit on me.  I screamed as loud as I could.  If I had a weapon, I would have used it.  He could have easily killed me.  I am very ill and it would not take much from a lunatic homeless vagrant to kill me.  Sorry, I'm not dying for these people, they have already taken enough from me.  [/quote]

DP: How do you know what he did and didn't do? You weren't there and I'm sure the full story isn't out yet.  [/quote]

He didn't do any of those things this is all he did: "Neely was on a Manhattan F train and had been reportedly screaming about being hungry, thirsty, and tired when he was pinned down and placed in a chokehold by another passenger." That's it, didn't attack anyone was just acting loud which I see in DC everyday but they don't get attack and murdered.[/quote]

You say this and yet there are also stories of violence on the Metro all the time - sometimes just a punch, other times a beating or rape or less often murder.  Upthread, someone said there were 9 murders on the NY subway last year.  When people yell and act threateningly, they sometimes actually do hurt people.  Fear is not unreasonable. [/quote]
