Newly, the homeless man, was raving, first about being hungry, then stating he wanted to go to jail and didn’t care if he got a life sentence.

He then took of his jacket and thossed it to the floor.

That scenario to me spells imminent attack.

What the Marine did seems to make sense in that situation.

However, it has been reported that he maintained the chokehold for 15 minutes; if that is accurate, it seems like a very long time. Maybe others have more info about that or more knowledge than I do.

Anyone who has spent more than three minutes in a NYC subway will tell you that this is simply a NYer having a very bad day.

(If everyone were to take this as evidence of an "imminent attack", there would be several people a week getting perforated in a NYC subway.)
