“Train Violence?”

So today’s “Gun Death?” is non-fatal, but that’s not for lack of effort.

A man abruptly pushed a woman into the side of a moving New York City subway train, then told bystanders he couldn’t explain his behavior, authorities said. The woman was hit but survived.

Jose Rojas, 25, was held without bail after his arraignment Thursday on attempted murder and assault charges, while victim Ute Linhart was hospitalized with broken ribs, a crushed sinus cavity and other injuries.

Thankfully his timing was bad, this could have easily been fatal. Tho in the anti-gun haven of New York City, why are they charging him? I mean this was “Train Violence” not “Gun Violence” so why isn’t there a problem.

On a “Small World” note, this is actually LJ Buddy Guav’s Boss. She had a similar experience before!

A few years ago, my boss was crossing the street when a car came racing around the corner and hit her, sending her flying up completely over the car 10 feet in the air. She landed in the street and the car kept going. Miraculously, she was almost completely unhurt. Badly bruised, but no broken bones (although she does have some nagging back pain from it). They figured out who the guy was—and he had been drinking—but since he didn’t actually injure her, he got off with no jail time (Don’t ask me why—I don’t understand either).

I wish her a speedy recovery, and Guav’s confusion with the drunk driver’s charges is exactly why I print these “Gun Death?” stories.
