Debating Violence and Justice
This chapter examines the public's reaction to the tragic gunning down of a man in Manhattan, highlighting flawed societal attitudes towards justice and empathy. It contrasts two violent incidents—Daniel Penny's subway intervention and the celebration of a business executive's death—while critiquing the U.S. healthcare system's failures. The speakers emphasize the moral complexities of vigilantism, societal outrage, and the implications of privilege in discussions around violence and democracy.
