Another Man Pushed to Death in Front of NYC Subway Train
Second time in a month
A mumbling woman pushed a man to his death in front of a subway train on Thursday night, the second time this month someone has been killed in such nightmarish fashion, police said.
The man was standing on the elevated platform of a 7 train in Queens at about 8 p.m. when he was shoved by the woman, who witnesses said had been following him closely and mumbling to herself, New York Police Department chief spokesman Paul Browne said. When the train pulled into the tracks, the woman got up from a nearby bench and shoved the man down, he said. The man had been standing with his back to her.
It didn't appear the man noticed her before he was shoved onto the tracks, police said. The condition of the man's body was making it difficult to identify him, police said.

It would be very ironic if this ever happened to Jared.
What group is the Southern Poverty Law Center blaming this epidemic on?
When will this subway train madness end? When will they ban these assault trains? How many more innocent commuters have to die?
