Of course. Once the victim was hurled on to the tracks, only one person actually tried to take action and prevent a tragedy.
Of course the press is all over the SOB who tried to do something. The press wants people to be sheep and accept all bad things with nothing more than a whimper. To take action? That just makes our masters angry.
They should pass a law making it illegal to push people off of subway platforms. That would stop it!
/sarc
but what does Bob Costas think of all this.....
We need to ban pushing... falling... standing... subways...
but let’s not blame the obamanite that pushed the poor guy.
They should abolish the railway so many people die falling on the tracks.
Why are we importing half-mad “street peddlars” from savage Africa? Who thought the killer would contribute to our society? From his name, I would guess Nigeria, the worst of the worst. You can’t walk here from Africa. Some State Department Consul gave this bozo a visa. You can’t get on or off the plane without one.
I say if there wasn’t a train coming down the track, this guy would be alive today. Get rid of all subways and make the world a more peaceful place

“Asking: Were There No Heroes”
No.
In NYC and others people are constantly told NOT to intervene. City officials tell people “Dont be a hero”, “let the cops handle it”. Then they wonder why there are no heros.
Like there aren’t enough crazy people in NY, now we are importing them from Africa.
I wonder what would be the effect of banning Arabs?
There's some sort of human smuggling going on from the African countries too. (Obama’s relatives- uncle and aunt are good examples). Hopefully, they didn't give this guy a visa, but who knows in this crazy government.
I think if it were a woman, several men would have tried to help.
If this were a private company instead of a government entity, OSHA would be all over them.
Can you imagine what they would do if anyone else had large machines operating in a public area without safety shields and and lockout devices in place? Why are there not fences and gates to prevent this? Look at rides at any amusement park.
Hispanic/white man shoots black hood in Florida in self defense = we are still a racist society and have so far to go and need so many more laws “protecting” minorities.
Possible illegal immigrant black man pushes white/asian man to death on a subway line for no other reason than that he was mad = who cares, just another day.
The photo I saw the could have crossed the tracks and there was an open passage way! In his panic all he could think was to get back on the landing! IT is terrible that the pic did not show some citizens helping they guy!
And no one yelled to him to cross the tracks! That said he may have been injured in the fall and could not motivate. Regardless hopefully this criminal will be behind bars forever since Ole Sparky has been decommissioned!
And I could understand someone being wary of pulling him up for fear of being pulled into the tracks. You would need more than one person to accomplish that.
Also, it is very loud in the subway when that train is approaching or if there is another one on the other tracks, so he may not have heard anyone anyways, even if they were yelling.
Yes, Ole Sparky needs to be brought back in NY, it was taken out due to the death penalty law that was on the books being ruled "unconstitutional" by judges a bunch of years back. And of course, the state went so liberal that there is no call to correct that.
