[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel horrible feeling the way I do, but as someone who has been threatened by a crazy person on the train, on a bus, and just on the street, I don't feel much sympathy for this crazy person.

Question for the people who do have sympathy for this crazy person: have you ever been confronted by one and do you expect to likely be that situation again? I  have and I do expect it will happen again.

My suspicion is that many of you live your lives insulated from those kinds of people. Maybe that makes you more objective than me. My feeling certainly comes from concerns over my own safety.[/quote]

Nope, many of us understand basic human rights.

Like I’ve been in a situation where I had to respect freedom of speech for white supremacists.

I took the bus as a teen from school late after practice and you sit close to the driver and there are crazy people on the bus all.the.time.

I get into my car in a parking lot late at night and while I’d love to shoot every male that makes me feel uncomfortable I can’t because… basic human right.

I actually think it’s people who never leave their house who think this is so wildly out of control that a homeless person is loud.[/quote]

How many of those males who make you feel uncomfortable are screaming at you, throwing trash at you and generally threatening assault? Or do men make you feel uncomfortable simply by existing?[/quote]

Sometime they hit on me, and since I know men can get violent when turned down I feel very threatened.

I think any man walking towards me in a dark garage is a threat.

I’ve had guys yell at me when I don’t want them to buy me a drink.

Do all homeless people  make you feel uncomfortable?[/quote]

Not at all. I talk to the homeless people in my DC neighborhood all the time.

I would gently suggest that if the three incidents you cite here bother you that much, you may want to get some counseling. These are nothing compared to what those people on the subway car experienced[/quote]
