I still see what happened here as unbelievable.
It happened in Philadelphia’s Chinatown last Tuesday at around 3:30 p.m. William Clark walked up to a 23- year old woman to apparently ask her for a lighter. They were the only ones at this Eighth and Race train stop. Then, out of nowhere the man started attacking the woman. This attack consisted of the man pulling her off of a bench and then dragging her toward train tracks. The woman was barely able to stand up at the edge of the tracks before this ill man pushed her off, took her cellphone, and left the scene. She miraculously was able to climb back up from the tracks with only minor injuries. This entire incident was caught on surveillance cameras, but the police didn’t released it because William, who is thought to be a mentally ill homeless man, was wearing distinct clothing, a jacket with a Tai Mahal logo, they were hoping find him with. William was caught and taken in on Thursday. The police see no clear motive for the attack.
I can't believe that in today's world we still have to be concerned with maniacs who assault innocent people. In the case of William, how did someone not notice that he had an issue early on in his life? Even if these issues are recent someone must have seen his issue before this attack. Why couldn't he have been treated before he got to the point of him injuring another human being? We should each be reliable and help each other out; therefore, if we see someone who has a mental issue for the safety of that person and those around him we should assist this person in getting professional help.
This is one of those situations where one says, "What has our world come to?" This situation is very sad. It's our job to help these type of people in our world, even if it's something as little as helping out at the homeless shelter. I agree with you that these people need professional help, but sometimes all these people need is a friend, a "man for others."
