Kids are so naive and sweet. I remember feeling the same towards homeless when I was young. We make sandwiches for a church that has a homeless program, and that helps my child feeling like they’re doing something. There are homeless who have children and truly try to do their best, and others they are strung out and dangerous and psychopaths, and we shouldn’t act like they’re one and the same.

+1. Not on the same level, but pre-pandemic I was assaulted by a homeless man at Farragut West Metro station in the daytime. I was at the top of the escalators a couple steps away from getting on and he rammed me from the side into the wall. I didn't even see him until he hit me. I was dazed and in pain but managed to escape to the escalator without further incident.

This is partly why I teach my kids to stay far from the track until our train has arrived and stopped. Partly it’s because one can stumble but also crazy people around.
Though honestly, my guess is my kids will never take metro again, it’s going to wither in this post pandemic world.
So tragic for this woman.

Paralyzed from the neck down. I doubt it.
She has been moving her arms, so there is hope.

She's not going to recover. I hope she can find a way to continue her art, though.

This is such a rich statement. Attempted murder just gets "treatment" and out back out in society. Perfect. Too bad no one pushed him onto the tracks and let the train take care of his treatment.
I assumed the PP was joking.
Honestly I am getting tired of people caring more about the attacker than the people who will have lifelong scars, physical problems and PTSD from an unprovoked attack. We sit here and play semantics with words like homeless vs unhoused, mentally ill to mental health disorder, Substance use disorder instead of drug addict while they are out in society harming people and we just care about using words that wont hurt their feelings. You want to give them help and then they refuse to keep up on meds and back to being a detriment to society. It's exhausting and I am over it.
No one has sympathy for the guy in this brutal attack. How does it feel to be emotionally manipulated by a Strawman?
Every case is different. I don’t feel universal sympathy for perpetrators of crime. Vast majority of normal people don’t feel that. Get off social media if that’s your perception of “other people.”
NP. There have been protests for the lunatic who was choked to death by the marine. The same people up in arms about that have nothing to say about this women who is now paralyzed. Or the Asian people pushed onto the tracks. Or…
America has never cared much about women getting beat up, unfortunately. You can thank misogyny, the courts, the police, and the press for that.

There is no evidence that she knew him. He may have wanted her in some way but she is completely innocent. This is a sickening tragedy.

There was no way for a Good Samaritan to intervene, as there was no hint that the assailant would lash out at the woman.
I agree with this. It seems like they were probably connected in some way. This guy does not look like a typical homeless (or even severely mentally ill person [my BIL is psychotic most of the time, and there's a particular look to psychosis!]), and they both have Turkish names. It doesn't add up that it's a random attack.
A few other points of evidence:
-He entered the subway system at her station
-He jumped a turnstile, likely to avoid being tracked in the system. This hints at a degree of premeditation.
