NY1: At my subway stop (I haven't been on the subway more than three times in two years due to COVID-19, but normally would use it 3-4 times a week), a woman, 40-year-old Michelle Go, was pushed into an oncoming train and died. Her attacker? A lunatic named Simon Martial, who has since declared he is God. We have a lot of them roaming the streets these days, and we're going to have to suck it up and remove some personal-freedom rights to get people with mental illness — some of them violent, many with the escalating potential for it, considering their pathologies, their lack of food and lack of shelter — off the streets. People who are homeless and people who are mentally ill shouldn't be on the streets anyway just out of our shared sense of humanity, but our city, state and country are okay with it so far. Perhaps escalating threats to safety will nudge us away from ignoring this issue. RIP Michelle Go.
