[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It was slanted with the assumption that the killing was unjustified. He was restrained by passengers who thought he was a threat. They weren't police officers with the option of cuffing him. [/quote]

And the passengers were right. Neely was a threat, his own grandparents had grown to fear him and he has assaulted people before!!! Why should they wait for him to kill or maim them???? They did their best. I am sorry he died but j am thankful he didn’t kill anyone that day!!!![/quote]

Yes. It wasn't just coincidence that the passengers tackled and restrained[i] this person[/i] as opposed to any other person on the train.  They were able to see the danger, unlike many commentators.[/quote]
