Just Pray it was not another person of Asian descent pushed...

Person Killed by Train After Being Pushed Onto Subway Tracks, Police Say

The attack at 125th Street in East Harlem was unprovoked, a police spokeswoman said

This is an ongoing problem. Why can't they construct barriers along the tracks so this pushing is ineffective?  Leave a spot for the train doors to open, and have the trains pull exactly into position.  Don't nobody stand close to those open spots, and if the rest is all "fenced off", make it so that a shove only pushes them into the barrier not onto the tracks...

Cost too much?  Bill it to the big infrastructure bill that Biden's people are promising will trickle down to the blue-collar workers sometime soon...

These stories are just too sick to keep reading.  Somebody should say, Never Again and work to contruct a more protected transportation system that anticipates such shoves... cuz it keeps happening and locking up all the mentally ill people isn't going to.  Again, just pray the victim is not of Asian descent... again.

Why can't we better protect civilians here at home?  Low priority saving lives?  (No offense, but I don't think sending all the National Guard troops in the country can help.  Some solutions are more structural; not every problem can be solved by sending in military might... Rebuild those platforms already.)
