Yeah that’s what I figured, that the media was focusing so much on it that it seemed to happen much more than it actually does

One thing that I wonder about, is why these attacks seem so common in NYC ? It’s probably amplified by the media but it seems that I read about a new attack every week. I live in Paris and the subway isn’t the safest place but attacks like this are extremely rare in comparison, or so it seems. I mean you will definitely get yelled at for no reason by a weird crackhead, it’s a rite of passage… But I wonder why violent attacks seem to have surged in NYC subway post pandemic. Is it lack of security personnel ? Lack of mental health services/support in general for marginalized people ? Both ?.. I’m genuinely asking because I really don’t understand, why now, what’s going on ?
