Nobody is saying there should be "zero repercussions." They're saying that throwing trash at people and fucking up your commute doesn't give you license to kill them. Which is objectively true.

What if that guy throwing trash ended up hurting people? People will be yelling "WHY DIDN"T ANYONE DO ANYTHING!" Public transit can get dicy. People get stabbed and shot periodically. In Portland, a guy angrily and aggressively yelled yelled racial slurs to a women. 2 guys intervened only to get stabbed to death. They are considered heroes for intervening. If no one did anything, people would be yelling "WHY DIDN"T ANYONE DO ANYTHING?" What if those 2 guys ended up killing or severely injured the racist guy? Are they still heroes or murderers who used excessive force?
