Reply to comment by mission17 in MTA surpasses 1 billion subway riders in 2022, a first in Covid era by geoxol

Is it not a problem that untreated mentally ill individuals are threatening to throw random commuters onto the tracks?

You can’t keep dismissing every crime as “look how many people are in the city!!”

Once again, what do you have to gain by defending that behavior? Please answer that question.

Do you think nyc will die without your heroic defense on Reddit?

Nobody is defending that behavior. It just doesn’t warrant the hysterics that you’re perpetuating right now.

What hysterics? Can you elaborate on that statement? You did defend that behavior but that’s not what I said you did. You didn’t answer the question btw. I think you have this strange savior complex towards the city though.

Where did I defend the behavior, exactly?

You excused the behavior because he didn’t go through with pushing me… which is laughable. Subway pushings like those of Michelle Go are also being dismissed as “oNlY fOuR”

Once again, though, that wasn’t my point. Also, you haven’t answered a single question I asked. All of your responses are just more questions.

What hysterics? What do you gain with this savior complex towards the city & defensive behavior? Why are you obsessed with denying a problem that is evident both quantitatively and anecdotally?

How many times were you thrown on the train tracks this year? And what did I excuse?

Another response that just presents a new & foolish question while avoiding any answers lmao. Look back at your own comments. You’re incapable of answering basic questions.

So just so everybody is clear, nobody was thrown on the tracks yesterday. And it's not really clear what behavior is being excused here. Nobody was thrown on the tracks and nobody is excusing people throwing others on the tracks.

Here’s another question you can’t answer: how is that not excusing direct threats of being pushed onto subway tracks? You’re doubling down on your defense.

You weren't thrown on the tracks.

That’s not an answer to my question. You proved what I said lol

Edit: yikes! going back and adding to their comments lol. I never said you excused the behavior of being thrown on the tracks. I never said I was thrown on the tracks (obviously lol. Those individuals can’t speak for themselves anymore tho).

Nothing was added to any of the comments. You said:

> It’s not a problem until you’re thrown onto the tracks.

You weren’t thrown onto the tracks. Nobody was thrown onto the tracks yesterday. You’re blowing this problem out of proportion.

Convenient way to avoid answering any question I asked.

> Nobody was thrown onto the tracks yesterday.

I never said anyone was. It’s very telling (and embarrassing) that you can only repeat that one sentence (as if I made the claim).

It also, once again, proves my point about your defense of direct threats of violence (among which is indicative of a dismissive attitude towards crime and untreated mental illness in the city). It all goes back to your savior complex.

How am I blowing anything out of proportion? I said someone threatened me yesterday. That’s just a fact. I also pointed out that the commenter would probably care about subway pushings if it affected them directly (if someone they loved was pushed for example). Only then would it become an issue. How is that blowing anything out of proportion? I already know you’re not going to answer the question lol

Edit: downvoted before they even had time to read the full comment 🤡
