The perception of being armed is enough deterrence to stop anyone from pushing in the first place

Moms was working with mentally ill adults when this happened, in Harlem, in the 80's, at the height of crack. shyt was kinda wild.Pretty much have to repair the massive damage Reagan and the Republicans did to the mental health system:

Some stations, like the one this happened at, do not have walls to stand up against. It's an island with access to trains in both directions.
So you stand in the middle , against the glass that be having maps or other things.
just stay away from the edge.
People with issues take advantage of opportunities.
Nuh-uh, it's a wall right there, fym?
You got me.I had something more like this in mind.
Too much attack space still on those island platforms.

Can you walk us through how having a weapon would help you if someone pushed you the moment a train came through? I know you guys like to think you'd move like Neo in the Matrix, but I'm having difficulty understanding the logic of your argument.
He’s retarded. Let him cook.

I'm surprised knowing the amount of crazies wandering down in the NY subway people still don't keep their heads on a swivel. At all times.
These nasty motherfukkers wait until the last possible moment so the train can't stop.
I can't have anyone behind me if I'm on the platform.
There was a coward who did this recently in Vancouver and pushed an old man as the train came into the station luckily he mistimed it and the old guy hit the train on the side. He still got hurt but didn't land on the tracks.

Don't be that retard breh.
A gun isn't going to stop some lunatic pushing you in front of a moving train. You'd be dead before realising what happened.
A barrier prevents that from happening.

Change is inevitable...
What part of "every train station in NYC is different" don't you "lets put up plastic barriers" people understand???
don't let perfect be the enemy of good, those barriers aren't installed in every single subway station in japan either.

Never been to NY in my life and even I seen it to many times ...why y'all Nyggas be so damn close to the Ledge for no reason?
You should just EXPECT somebody will push your ass over.
I live in Florida... I don't walk child side to bodies of water...i just EXPECT an Alligator To do what an Alligator do... Saw about it ONE time...that's all it took.

There's one sentence that torpedoes anything that will help people in this country.
"It's too expensive"
And of course there's it's retarded cousin that shows up often too.
"How much will it cost?"
You know you're dealing with a certified, grade A moron when they pose that question with regards to things that keep people from fukking dying. They're telling you that they do think there's a price on human life and there's such a thing as an acceptable amount of human death if it means they get to keep some extra money in their pockets. They've actually bought the lie that their managers have spread about the poor being taxed to pay for programs meant to help them.
In reality what would happen is that inheritance, capital gains, and property taxes would be raised on your boss and your boss's boss. AKA people who won't have their standard of living affected by very much.
Other countries don't have this problem because they know that money is something we made up and that government exists to protect the people, not the profits of corporations and the wealthiest in society.

I agree, but if your stop got a island, you gotta figure it out.
