The consequences of capitalism.
Everyone knows that mobs beating people in the streets or elderly Asians getting beat up is bad. Everyone knows that these actions are Crimes. So these tragic stories aren’t controversial. And there isn’t really much need for more information when you read about situations like that.
This subway case is different. It’s not clear whether it was self defense, or some crime. It’s controversial. People, in this thread and in general, want more information and details. All of this means more views and clicks, so of course a story like this will get more coverage.
I think it’s too simplistic to say… blah blah blah "the racist narrative’ blah blah blah.

What you say is true for reasonable people.
It is not true for Democrat politicians or their media mouthpieces. They absolutely push their racist narratives any time optics like this are present. At every opportunity. They want the riots. They want the media focus on racial narratives. This is beyond dispute at this point. It is the reason why Mike Brown’s mom gets invited to the Democratic National Convention and Officer Wilson, who did nothing wrong, had his life shattered.
All to advance the Racist America narrative that is desperately short on supporting facts.

I know I’ve asked you this before, but can you provide examples of what you are talking about? Who is the most racist Republican you can name? What are their racist policies? Can you point out their racist rhetoric?
I can list examples backing up my point all day. Ferguson, MO was subjected to devastating riots over the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” lie, along with the lie that racism is what motivated Darren Wilson to shoot Michael Brown.
Obama fanned the racial flames with the Trayvon Martin case, facts be damned. “If I had a son…”
You’re old enough to remember the George Floyd riots. Remind me again, who was encouraging those? Do you really believe Derek Chauvin was intent on murdering George Floyd with a knee pin while being filmed by multiple people? Do you recall President Biden calling him a murderer while the trial was still underway?

It’s moreso based off of personal experience and observing the way people communicate. I can almost always tell when someone is communicating with a racial bias just out of personal experience.
All those cowards on internet forums, social media, and youtube video leaving racist comments always seem to be republican.
I think to some degree in terms of policies/politicians, democrats are more racist than republicans. But, when it comes to the common citizen, I trust a “liberal” or “democrat” more than an average joe who is republican. Republicans to me always seemed more arrogant and cold hearted.

Not only do American adults have to worry about their safety and lives while in transit; now children do too while coming and going from school.
Our school district below, that my children will not be attending for an indefinite amount of time (we homeschool for the time being). And we live in a “nice” town.
My dad and his brother used to take the NYC subways at twelve years old. That means that things got a whole lot worse in the decades since and once upon a time they were normal. So the “it was worse in the 70’s/80’s” line is a lowbrow comparison and no standard at all. @nealdog imagine if someone told the family members of a dead
subway-crime victim, “eh, things were even worse at one time.”

We are more cold-hearted, if cold-heartedness is measured by our lack of support for short-sighted leftist policy goals that lead societies into disaster while maintaining a veneer of compassion and so-called progressiveness.

It’s only short-sighted if you don’t believe the leaders are well-aware of the result they’ll get.

That’s not cold-hearted, that’s just being reasonable.
Cold-hearted are those crazy stereotypical republicans spreading hatred for no reason.
I’ll ask the same basic questions to you as I do to all Democrats. Please provide examples to explain what you mean.
Who?
What?
When?
Where?
Why?

I think you’re well-aware of the comeback to this one: “It was better for people who looked like you,” or some such nonsense.

That proves you are a racist
You leave dumber comments than me. Sheesh.
Who, specifically. Pull a quote of a republican spreading hatred and I’ll support your opinions for that individual. Otherwise, this is strawman.

Oh yes. Any time one mentions a time when things were working normally, there’s a good chance he’ll hear:
- You’re romanticizing the past.
- We’ve always had problems.
- It was better for who though?
According to these people we should have no frames of reference for anything. America never was normal. Heehee, what’s normal?
But then some of these same people will say they would not rather live anywhere else, even though America isn’t great and “America never was great” (said recently by the actor Bryan Cranston.
Somehow America was never great but for a long time had some of the highest standards of living, education, and technology, an overabundance of wealth and resources, and peaceful living.
Even thinking of this ridiculousness has me confusing myself.
