MBD goes on a well-timed, well-aimed rant today on The Editors.
When asked about the recent tragedy on a NYC subway, he laments the death, but goes on to say that he’s “never been more disgusted with progressive society than watching this story unfold in the media. . . . His death is absolutely a tragedy, right? Full stop. It’s a tragedy. It’s horrible that he was abandoned to his psychosis and his addictions. But he was abandoned by Blue America, by institutions in Blue America . . . with whom he was in constant contact — with the police, the mental-health services of New York City, social services. This was a known person.”
He is appalled by the normalization of terror on the subways. “In a normal society,” he said, “and in most cities around the world, if that kind of behavior is seen, the police or just a man taking responsibility would take Jordan Neely to the institution that is equipped to handle him and assist him.”
To listen to the rest of Michael’s excellent take, and Dominic and Charlie’s responses, listen below.
