Jenna Pitre - "Woman killed after being shoved in front of Times Square subway train; suspect in custody"

Summary: Recently, two women got into an altercation with each other at the Times Square Subway.  It got physical, and then 30-year old Melanie Turner pushed the other woman into the path of an oncoming train. The 49-year old victim has yet to be identified.The train operator has been taken to the hospital for treatment of emotional trauma, and the Turner is now in custody. They are investigating whether she may or may not be involved in a previous but very similar case that had originally been ruled a suicide.

Analysis/Synthesis: This is just another story. Just another article. There's so much death in this time, in this world, that the idea that a human could possibly be that evil is no longer as unsettling as it should be. People should be disturbed by this. People should care about this, because the lady who died here should not just be added to a long list of tragic deaths. We can stop this. There's no need for us to let our anger get the better of us to the point where we let something like this happen. Gosh, this is awful. This can be connected back to 2014 when 36-year old Kevin Darden was charged with killing another man by pushing him into the path of an oncoming train.
