The reason why the deceased gentleman approached her in the first place is she was acting aggressively and disturbing other patrons. I assume in the NY subway system there's a pretty high threshold before one is seen as disturbed above and beyond the usual.

I've been so busy. I assumed it was from the first case.

Gads.

...but killing that person is still an utterly prosecutable crime.

But to address your statement. People who are not mentally ill can make a decision (and worldwide, billions do) to hate someone based on race, color, creed, religion, etc. It is not inherently insane - it is usually cultural conditioning or upbringing. Its a value system, or even a part of their religion. Not all irrational practices are indicative of mental illness - just poorly chosen or expressed behavior. Determining that all "bad thinking" is mental illness is deleterious to the actual challenges of mental health.

Clearly, she is a dangerous person.

They bear more blame.

she is misinformed

If convicted, enjoy prison you idiot.

...but there are times when I wish an exception could be made.

It's hard not to feel anger at those who spread such hate!

She's fucked up in the head, but at least more honest than alot of others.
