i agree.

The guy was acting as a citizen journalist. And he reacted like someone that lucked into a story. It's a non-negligible risk that violence will occur on the subway in a lawless sanctuary state run by despots and inhabited by Karens and the third world. So wearing surveillance glasses is completely warranted in this situation.

Maybe he identified the threat? Turns out he was right. What if it turns out the footage is him doing risk assessment?

I just wanted to mention, this was a rollercoaster of a comment for me.

Thank you.

Not everyone is forced to think from the one perspective, Uh she's hot so ... creep perv blah blah blah'. People thinking like this are doing so have the luxury of being in a safe place.

Made 2-3 other rollercoaster commentary in this thread. Hopefully entertaining. Presented passionate believable arguments for both perspectives.

For the point of showing both positions could have well reasoned credible arguments. Based solely on the evidence presented rather than possible hypothetical situations that might be applicable given hypothetical evidence we don't have.
