Public transit in America presents a much higher chance of encountering dangerous people than a private car. Until those people are permanently, irrevocably, and definitively locked up, it would not matter off public transit were free, or even paid users to use it, it will not be a serious option. Nobody in my family is allowed to use public transit.

This is all FUD and extremely unlikely if not improbable to run into someone violent. If you’re that afraid of public transit and people in general, no amount of “rounding people up against their will” would change your mind.

It really is not. I use public transit heavily. The people on it fucking suck. No one helps when someone is being harassed for fear of violence. The US needs to enforce basic decorum on public transit if it wants mass buy in.

Great we’ll start with rounding you up first who cares about your opinion and rights.

FUD? Are you claiming these did not happen?

No I’m claiming that violent people have a tendency to support violence as the only rational option. While turning around and defunding healthcare and advocating more prisons be built. Rather than diagnosing the actual problems. Violence wont stop mental illness.

The posters advocating for it and stating Daniel Penny should’ve encourage copy-cats are violent and sick people.
