No, the right to try a good Samaritan when he tries to subdue a deranged subway rider who is threatening other riders

I see your point. It’s true that even people who step in with good intentions can end up facing legal scrutiny, especially if the outcome is tragic. At the same time, the justice system does have a role in reviewing situations like this to determine whether the response was reasonable under the circumstances. Ideally, that balance should protect both the safety of bystanders and the rights of those involved.

In such circumstances the government can not CHEAPLY ensure that subways are very clean.

On another note you may remember that Hitler had praised Mussolini because Italian railways at that time ran on time.

But now, New Yorkers are about to elect Mamdani , who has policies more aligned to communism than that of founding fathers of USA. May be in 2026 New York subways will be cleaner.
