[The Big Ragu]

14 days to Mar-a-Lago.

Only 25,000 words about Tesla until then.

The real winner of the New York Post story on Daniel Penny? Florida governor Ron DeSantis? [/nytpitchbot]

BTW. ... Main story on the NY Post website right now:

The main site has a large headline, 'HE WILL DO IT AGAIN'

Good for them. Feel free to keep giving us constant updates. We're all ravenous for NY Post coverage, after all.

I'd like to hear from Az on this since I guess only New Yorkers can comment on the NY media market. And I'd like to hear from someone who isn't the dictionary definition of a mansplainer.

There's not much to add, I think. We won't know more about what actually happened in that subway car until we get to trial.

So, lots of the questions raised on this thread still stand.

I agree with Ragu that the defense team is going to disseminate their version of events as widely as they can - however that makes anyone feel.

As to how people respond to this terrible thing - in New York City or out of it - some of that depends not only on their individual fears and experiences, but on their politics and their media diet, on their prejudices and their capacity for empathy, on their ability to discern honesty in others and to be honest themselves.

One of the big divides in understanding any of what happened lies between mash transit culture and car culture. In one case you enjoy and suffer the insults and joys and risks of the collective. In the other you enjoy and suffer the risks and insults and joys of solitude.

It's very hard, it seems to me, to imagine the one if you're only schooled in the other.

Again, for me, in a profoundly personal way, this has been heartbreaking.

It was put out by a PR firm that specializes in messaging. Some of that money that people donated is going to fight the case in the court of public opinion.

I think he is going to walk.

"Holy Jesus! What is that? What the fork is that!?! ... Is that a forking NOSE RING, Marine!?!"

 

[Songbird]

The Jungian ring, sir.

The grand jury indicted Penny. But no way to know on what charges until the arraignment.
