New York Post piles on the horror with front-page photo of man about to be killed by subway train

The New York Post is facing criticism over its decision to publish a front-page photo of a man, pushed onto the subway tracks in Midtown on Monday, trying to climb to safety before being fatally struck by an oncoming train.

Ki Suk Han, a 58-year-old from Queens, N.Y., was hurled from the 49th Street station platform onto the tracks by "a deranged man" around 12:30 p.m., according to the paper. Han was attempting to calm the man, apparently a panhandler, when a scuffle broke out, police say. The man then pushed him onto the tracks.

Witnesses told police the man had been harassing people on the platform. "At least one witness felt that the aggressor was emotionally disturbed," NYPD spokesman Paul Browne told The New York Times.

Nobody forced you to go there and look at the picture, Rudey.

That's not really fair. It's not like the Post is some fringe media outlet. This cover, disturbing as it is, was seen by millions of people. It is legitimate news.

Maybe this is off topic but at many subway stations in Beijing and Shanghai this could not possibly happen because the tracks are separated from the platform by plexiglass windows. Who is the third world and who is the first?

That’s it! We must ban subway trains now that someone has used it as a weapon.

And now, we know that the perp is black (or Muslim, depending on the FR meme). Where should I direct my outrage?

NYC is full of deranged people whom Bloomberg has prevented the police from going after. They all need to be in involuntary committal in hospitals. Giuliani fought very hard to get some of the worst of them put away, but the judges kept letting them out...even after they had killed people.

A lot of the worst and most aggressive ones are black, and they often attack Asians or white women because they perceive them as weak. They used to attack Hispanics, but a few knife-carrying Dominicans made them drop that plan and seek “safer” victims.

When they catch this guy, I guarantee he’ll be out in no time at all. Caught by the police and released by the judicial system.

And...?

The Korean cared, and for his trouble got shoved onto the tracks. That’s bad even if it was a green Martian that shoved him.

And anyhow this presumably isn’t a video of the pushee, but of the pusher.

The poor man. I have always stayed well back from the edge of the platform. Call me paranoid, but there are too many nuts out there.

Beijing and Shanghai... Who is the third world and who is the first?

Perhaps a better question would be who is the communist and who is the capitalist?

I was simply wondering if I should direct my outrage at the publication, or a particular racial or ethnic group. /s

Leave it to NYC to make a bigger deal about a picture of the crime than the POS filthy animal that pushed him onto the tracks.

Btw, my sister and I were attacked by a black loony on a subway train....and the passengers who came to our aid were black. I especially remember one older couple who came forward even though it looked to me like they would have been no physical match for the attacker. But that’s what bravery is about, and they bought us enough time to get to the next station.

So the racial aspect is in the mind of the loony because crazy people are always looking for so,etching to “justify” their madness.

Put them away (with review procedures) and give them treatment. This man’s death was unnecessary.
