    Something is seriously wrong with such people, and unfortunately they are many.

    Yes something is wrong with people attacking others without provocation, however just because they are loud doesn’t mean that they are the majority.

    I hope they are found and they go to jail.

    Absolutely, I hope they did something dumb like grabbing something containing an airtag or so, people like this deserve way worse than whatever punishment they will get.

    But with people like that being so common, I’m not sure humanity will make it,

    Will make it?

    What do you mean by that?

    I’m not so sure we even deserve to make it as a species.

    Humans are a species, that is not up for debate.

      I never claimed they are a majority, but they don’t have to be to ruin things.
      Will make it as in survive. We are destroying the earth, and a country like USA is not participating in solving the problem, despite being the richest country in the world, and a major contributor to the problem.
      A clear sign of sociopathy on a national scale, a sociopathy that equals the 2 attackers in the alley.

      I have no clue how this meaning wasn’t obvious?

        Any real chance of survival on a galactic timescale has never really been an option.

        Your comment was about a horrible attack on a transwoman, and you somehow turned that into an argument about the human species survival?

        That is a huge leap in logic!

        The attack was perpetrated by reprehensible pieces of shit, absolutely, but it does not affect humanity’s possible future survival as a species.
