I can’t help thinking what might have happened if someone on that train just offered the guy a water bottle and the lunch or snack they had in their bag. [/quote]

On the 1 train during the morning commute in NYC, a homeless guy went around asking for food or money.  Someone kindly offered him the yogurt and apple she was bringing to her office for breakfast. The homeless guy was peeved and threw the yogurt and apple down on the floor whereupon the yogurt container broke and splattered. And he was yelling about how he didn't want that kind of food.

I ride the subway everyday to work and when angry nutsos like this show up, people usually leave the car immediately. Nobody wants to sit around and see how unhinged these people can become. 
This guy who was in a chokehold already had 2 records of assaulting women. Most people get up and leave the presence of people like this because of the possibility that he/she chooses you to vent their spleen. Most of us are sick of having to go out of our way to avoid them. I think the guy who put him in a chokehold was probably sick of seeing this tyranny of the homeless over the MTA like most of us are. 
Back in the 80s and 90s, the Guardian Angels rode the subway, you could tell who they were by their outfit and how buff they were. They just quietly stood around. Nobody messed around when they were in the car. We really need them back.
