Another Patch Is Launched To Die

There is nothing that the aspirational class will not use as fodder for competition. And since Neely’s murder there’s been a great competition online, among a certain species of liberals and leftists, to be the most unconcerned with instability in public places, to be the loudest voice saying that you could never be afraid of a mentally ill person, on the train or in the park or on the street. Well: congratulations. Congratulations to you. In my life, I have been scared of mentally ill people. Many times. Maybe my context has been a little different from that of the average Twitter user. But like I said: congratulations. I wonder if it ever crossed your minds that your compassion for them means that much more if you sometimes have been frightened of them.
