<p>On Wednesday, the activist&#8217;s friends raised eyebrows after claiming that he would have felt sorry for the teenager who allegedly stabbed him to death, and would want his killing to be used to further left-wing policies.<br>&#8216;I know he would have wanted people to use his death as a means to talk about structural wrongs in the city,&#8217; New York State Assembly member Emily Gallagher told <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://gothamist.com/news/slain-nyc-man-remembered-as-tireless-advocate-beloved-colleague" target="_blank">The Gothamist</a>.<br>&#8216;I&#8217;m absolutely positive that he would immediately see that this was a person who was suffering from a lack of resources in our community, who probably needs better mental health support, possibly housing, possibly drug support, drug treatment.<br>&#8216;What he would want to avenge his death is for us to fix how broken this city is.&#8217;<br>Yesterday, friends set up a GoFundMe account for Carson&#8217;s girlfriend. They have so far raised $60,000. <br>It remains unclear what prompted Dowling to attack. A suspect believed to be the 18-year-old was seen in the video at first walking past Carson and Morales, before turning back. </p>

I know better than that.<br>&#8216;I feel sad and bad, but definitely would not have intervened in any kind of situation like that just knowing what happens in the neighborhood.<br>‘People tell you &#8211; who are born and raised in the area &#8211; just don’t make eye contact with people especially at 3:45 am in the morning. <br>&#8216;I would have walked across the street,&#8217; said Sarah Walker, 31. <br>In response to the killing, friends of the slain Brooklyn social justice activist have raised over $68,000 for themselves to help the group to &#8216;take time off of work to properly mourn.&#8217;</p>
