    I saw a homeless guy verbally harass a woman on the subway until she cried. Then the guy started a fight with a black guy.

    Most people are just fed up with crazies on public transportation. We don’t give a shit about the reasons, we want a solution that doesn’t take decades to solve.

      The point is that the problem you’re looking for an instant solution for, was decades in the making and has to do with a structural neglect of mental health care, housing problems and war on drugs.

      You say you don’t give a shit about the reasons, but it’s much like ignoring every warning light and than complaining it’s expensive to fix the car.

        We are not ignoring it, but there is no end in sight. Especially with Trump coming. So be less judgemental because most ny subway riders do not care at this point and just want to ride in peace while being judged by people like you

          I’m not judging anyone. I thinks the shit is hitting the fan everywhere, also where I live. It’s fucking hard and it’s annoying that so many get manipulated into voting against it own interests.

          The only remedy is too cling together and stick to it values. The apathy cannot win. We can’t put our heads in the sand and go along blaming other people for our troubles (whichever race/creed/other).

      Not sure how getting rid of benches stops people from fighting.
