A Subway, A Young Photographer, and a Stabbing

What a story.

Take a look at the kind of photographs that were taken by a young photographer  in the midst of  a frenzy of sudden violence on a subway.  This will occur more and more in an  era when most of us carry around some sort of camera device.

These spontaneous pictures, with all the frenzy and fear they depict, are an unusual window into the precise, confused  moment when panic strikes in a public place.

    The incidence of cell phone cameras being used in subways is highlighted now because of the incident in Oakland last year. In the BART subway system, a person used her cell phone to record the apparent murder by a police officer of a person not even resisting arrest. The video served as evidence in the trial of the policeman. Although the final verdict (made last week) was only involuntary manslaughter, without the evidence of the cell phone video, that policeman may never have even been charged.
