A group of five males and two females violently attacked and beat a Dallas DART train passenger because he asked them to stop smoking marijuana.

The video, which was filmed on a cell phone and disseminated on social media, shows the man being punched and kicked. He tries to leave the train, but the mob of attackers follows him outside to continue the attack.

Fucking savages. Can't call them animals because most animals are above that kind of behavior.

Too bad that the victim was not packing heat.

Where is Bernie Goetz when you need him?

One of the comments in the linked article quotes 2 Timothy 3. I am not really familiar with the New Testament, but the quote certainly seems appropriate.

Yep, as PARA noted yesterday in one of his threads, you know exactly what you're going to see when you watch the associated video. Simply savages masquerading as humans.

Check out Colin Flaherty's books and vids on YouTube. You will find literally thousands of episodes of similar shit.

I don't need to click the link to know this is fake news and a doctored video intended to inflame the neo-fascists.

Marijuana doesn't make people violent...


-sarcasm btw...

Well there's a case for hi-cap magazines

Yeah. I guess those good folks missed the memo about how marijuana mellows you out. This business of people bipeds going ape-shit when they don't get their way, and there being no consequences, has got to stop.

People? I didn't see any humans involved.

Yep mass transit is great, they can cause this shit all over the city, get on it go somewhere else, cause more shit, and kick the crap out of someone else as a bonus. Makes you understand why some malls will not allow mass transit.

Not to absolve the mob but, in terms of inner city survival, never ask a question to which you don't know what the answer will be or you won't like what the answer will be.

"Hey, can you stop smoking marijuana?"

Didn't he have the ability to move to a different car on the train?

Right after a kid was thrown between the train and a platform and killed (for his iPad) a few years ago, I seem to recall seeing something that indicated to me that DART had put in place a supposedly valid prohibition for carrying on DART transport. I remember telling my wife to expect me to be packing if I ever had the unfortunate need to utilize their services in the future. I actively avoid this in much the same fashion and gusto with which I avoid the Bubonic plague.

I have yet to ascertain if their prohibition is valid or not. Outside of courthouses and sporting events, it is generally not legal to prohibit firearms in a publicly funded building that's not federal. Many cities post them anyway, doubtless thinking that no one will challenge it. Or possibly, to force a challenge, or whatever.

I always tell myself not to get involved in a situation like that. It would be extremely hard for me not to, even knowing seven on two aren't good odds. When I'm on Metro I'm always unarmed as I usually going to Caps game or show in the city.

These "people" don't deserve to exist. I wish a passenger ventilated a couple of them.

The actions of the group of assailants is bad enough, but the way the article reports said assault is enough to make me PUKE!

I seem to note a striking similarity in one or more facts in this Dallas incident and the BART incident recently in the Bay Area... Can't quite place my finger on it though...

What is laughingly called Journalism today is wrong/deceptive and corrupt.

It is made even worse when, as in the case of the BART incident, the true situation is disguised in an effort to have the public think, "Everything is fine here, no need to worry about my safety on the train."

This country is circling the bowl unless there are some fundamental changes made.

God help us!

There's a difference. BART wouldn't disclose the video, as it would be racist.

I don't call them people either.

True. He also has the ability not to use Dart or any public transportation. If has has the money, he has the ability to move away from areas where this type of behavior takes place.
Imagine how empowered this group would feel if people vacated the car they were in. Likely the group would then move to another car and passengers would have the ability to move again.
V-tail mentioned Bernie Geotz. I'm beginning to this we're not that far away from a reoccurrence.

Charles Bronson's character had the same idea a few decades ago.

I think they would have killed him with it. There's no way to know for sure of course, but 7 on 1 is not good odds. He may have gotten off a shot or two before the rest of them overwhelmed him and took it from him.
