He never attacked anyone. </p><p>But, being that we live in a country full of braindead star fuckers who think they're the next Hero in Waiting, the belligerent voice of a person with nothing was treated as a deadly threat by a white boy who, apparently, doesn't know how shit works on the subway. So, what we got was a 15 minute chokehold, AKA murder in the 2nd Degree.</p><p>I rode the MBTA in Boston for years. I saw literal assaults. I saw plenty of nutballs screaming, trying to gin up donations for drug money, but never felt entitled to choke them to death.</p><p>If I'd seen someone do this to an obviously disturbed homeless person, I'd have been questioning if I needed to step in on his behalf.</p><p><a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/02/shocking-video-shows-vagrant-being-choked-to-death-on-nyc-subway/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nypost.com/2023/05/02/shocking</span><span class="invisible">-video-shows-vagrant-being-choked-to-death-on-nyc-subway/</span></a></p>
