Yeah, I think the people acting as if it’s totally unreasonable to be afraid around a strange man acting erratically in a confined space have either never been in that situation or are lying.

No sane person thinks that fear justifies killing Neely. But as I wrote in the article, tragedies are enormously more likely to happen when people are afraid. And if we can’t have a serious a conversation about *why* they were afraid, if we’re determined to pretend there’s nothing wrong with people in crisis from acting out in public, these things will keep happening.
