[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYT opinion take- this seems like the most rational and nuanced view of the situation:

That was a very good piece. [/quote]

Yes. It refuses to absolve the killer, and refuses to absolve both Neely and the system that has failed him and the authors fellow subway riders who by his own acknowledgment don’t have the luxury of not taking the subway.
The death of Neely is a grotesque failure of a system designed to protect only itself and to try to shift all of the blame at the feet of the Marine who was trying to act in good faith is a failure of responsibility. Neely WAS dangerous, the riders and the Marine were right to be scared and though tragic Neelys death is the responsibility of the system that failed him. [/quote]
