if we do something it’ll be bad

Opening fire in public is a very particular type of “something“

Kimmel didn’t get back on the air thanks to shooters, it was loud noise (and louder money). Also I’m not sure how to ask without seeming like I’m egging you on but are you making recommendations that you yourself are comfortable following? I would understand your argument better if you were an armed leader of group trying to convince others they need to be you doing the same as you, but if you’re posting here then you’re probably not in jail so it seems like you’re encouraging others to get themselves embroiled in gun fights/arrested safely behind a QWERTY layout.

btw this situation is incredibly upsetting and I know your heart is in the right place—we want justice. If I read too much into your comment I’ll leave it here for others who suggest firing at authorities who may have not thought it through all the way, & hope you can see where I’m coming from when you look at the parent comment and then yours.

Solid and fair analysis IMO. His feelings were valid. He had a moral right to nonviolently push back against what he perceived as injustice, and presumably knew he might face consequences. Presumably felt it was worth it.

Wonder if the train was full. And if his feet were on a jacket/other barrier (allowed on some systems whereas direct contact is not). Also wish I knew whether the older woman has ever asked white women to comply with little rules.
