• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

They flinched for all of a split second, and then some casually left tram, and others got up and moved to different seats.

If you haven't watched the full video, then you're not really in any position to label my comparison or analysis as "disgusting" like you did earlier. You're basing your assessment of events on a single still shot of what occurred without seeing what happened afterwards.
I based it on what you presented. I told you what I saw. It matched the tenor of this thread.

There’s no way I would have gotten involved and my safety would have been my lone concern. Getting away from the individual and off the train would be foremost. And I doubt I’m alone in that.

Unless you have a weapon yourself—namely a gun—you’re unlikely to challenge a knife wielding madman. That may not be true for some but you can’t fault the bystanders who didn’t come to her aid. They have people who rely on them too and the probability of death was great. Never mind the mental and emotional impact of watching everything unfold. It’s traumatizing.
