I was talking about general fukkery more so than subway incidents. Normal people are not doing shyt like this. Most of the random and spur of the moment violence i have seen personally has come from people not in their right mind.
I used to work in downtown San Francisco and there was a homeless dude that stayed on the same street/block and would always cause trouble. Would harass people, act erratic and general mental shyt. Police would never do anything about it. I literally saw him swing at the back of a woman's head when she walked past, nothing done.
I do not have any data showing hard proof of the mental state of those committing violent crimes like these, but again, people that are sane do not make it a habit of doing shyt like this.

Always with the clown takes. This man had a lengthy criminal history. Jail him. Keep him in jail. This is prevented. It ain’t rocket science

Man Charged in Subway Shoving Had History of Mental Illness, Family Says
The man appeared to have a history of arrests and had been hospitalized at least twice for mental health treatment, according to officials and family.
Although he should of been in jail, he definitely should of been hospitalized before this shyt too. The goal is to get these people in the mental health system BEFORE the justice system.

He should obviously have been off the streets and away from public citizens. However that’s done, it should get done. Either way @bnew Acting like there’s simply no way to prevent this incident is absolutely idiotic. This was as preventable as it gets. They just give criminals long leashes
At some point the guy would of been released if he was jailed for the shyt he did prior, but then what? Once he gets out what is going to stop him from pushing someone in front of a train?
There is no way you can have police officers at every section of a station where the car doors will open, for every station in NYC. And even then if someone is mentally ill would that even stop them from doing that? Stop someone from committing suicide? No it would not.
What should happen is that they should build platform screen doors like countries that care about safety do:
Unless you lock up every violent mentally ill person for life, jail is not the solution.
