Here is some details that I would like to have: Did he continue to choke him for the duration of the ride? Were there stops? if there were stops, why not get out and take the guy to security on the platform? is there security on the platforms?
I will take this result over what happened here in Philadelphia a year or so ago when a young woman was raped on the subway during the day and no one helped her.
I will wait to I hear all the evidence on this before I make a judgment but so far it sounds like this guy and a couple others were trying to protect other riders.
Why does it have to be either one of these options ?
This gentlemen does not appear to have been doing anything except ranting and raving. Something I’ve personally witnessed dozens of times riding transit. He is not said to have physically assaulted anyone.
Choking him to death is not a proportional response, obviously.
Would you feel different if distributed homeless guy pushed someone off the platform onto the tracks?
Or is that ok because of their race, living situation and mental deficiency?
Just curious.
Depends on the amount of pressure applied to the carotid arteries.
I will submit this Marine did not intend to kill but to restrain.
An honest evaluation by a medical examiner can verify what caused the deceased to expire.
For Example, if a level of fentanyl was in the body enough to suppress the receptors in the respiratory system (George Floyd), bad outcomes are possible?
