Perhaps changing this policy is a good idea, release the photos, this isn't juvi behavior of leaving shit in a bag on fire on a porch, or tossing a rock at a car, couple of youths fighting on a school ground, it's a mob purposely assembled to terrorize people, hurt and steal. This policy should reflect the actions of the people involved.

No doubt they know that most NorCal civilians are not armed...and thus the most valid reason to not attack has been stolen from them...

Are y'all familiar with Colin Flaherty? If not, then watch some of his vids on YouTube or read his books:

This shit has been going on all over this country for years. The media and law enforcement ignore it and lie about it even happening.

On the other hand, you'll be at near-contact distance, and with limited movement possibility, numbers aren't as big of an advantage. Drawing a gun would be enough for these yutes to vacate the premises with remarkable speed.

I'm a little surprised this hasn't happened before. I will be very surprised if it doesn't happen again with more frequency now that they know it can be done.

I've taken BART countless times to that station to watch an A's game. Never felt unsafe.

Last time I did was about 5 years ago.

I have watched his videos. My only complaint is that he has not yet distinguished between race and culture. He believes these people act the way they do because of their race. I assert it is because of their culture. The thug culture, for lack of a better term, consumes all who partake in it.

He does make a good point that reporting on these attacks and the players in them have been suppressed for PC reasons. I noticed that every article about this incident has the comments section disabled and no pictures nor details beyond age group are allowed. This is a conspiracy.

I don't doubt that he recognizes the difference as do all decent people. He may not explicitly state it in every video.

Does anyone include Cliff or Vero8 (from this forum) or Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams or Larry Elder with these little hood rats?

No doubt a bunch of copycats just figured out what they're doing over summer vacation.

What's more troubling is that the attack happened Saturday night, hit the paper Monday morning, and BART's spokesweasel had no idea what to say when questioned. There's a serious lack of accountability at the highest level of local government. The good guys with badges are forced to work with their shoelaces tied together, the law abiding citizens are left to fend for themselves, and the bureaucrats fiddle. Somebody is going to die because the politicians have their heads so far up their collective ass.

What to do if confronted with such a situation? Pepper spray in a train car I'm stuck in? A knife fight in close quarters while greatly outnumbered? Hand over my shit and hope they don't beat my ass for fun? Poop on the seat and start throwing it?

Big boy crime should mean your picture gets published. Want to challenge your picture being published due to your age? Head to the station.

And here I thought you were gonna say you'd have to go medieval on his ass. Wink

Sorry, thought I was in The Lair...

In keeping with theme of the OP. This is the state of urban America though. I wouldn't think of taking my family on Marta (Atlanta). It's not safe.

On this forum? Not for a second. But reading the comments on his videos hurts my heart. Those people do not make the distinction. I think about how I'd feel were I someone like Cliff and reading those comments...its shameful. We're I Colin, I'd make the point in every video.

Jim and I are the two on this forum who keep mentioning Flaherty. And I'm always surprised at how many-- even in this well-informed forum-- don't know what has been going on for many years now. The scale of this attack-- 50 or more black teens-- is unusual, but not at all unprecedented. Otherwise, this kind of thing happens all across the country on pretty much a daily basis. The so called "media" ignores these stories, and sometimes actively suppresses them. As a result, these racist attacks, black-on-white, continue, and grow in number and in size.

Eventually it will get to a scale that cannot be hushed and hidden. But a whole lot of innocent white people-- these attacks are unprovoked-- are going to get seriously hurt before that happens.

Bullshit. Post the images. Let the country see what is happening.

Yesterday or possibly the day before, "about a hundred" kids on BMX bicycles swarmed I-676, the "Vine Street Expressway", a 6-lane highway which runs roughly from 30th Street Station to the Ben Franklin Bridge. I saw footage on the web; it looked more like 200 kids. Shut down the Expressway. WHILE A GROUP OF UNLICENSED DIRT BIKE RIDERS OBSERVED FROM THE EDGE OF THE AREA.

Practice for Expressway shutdown during NFH Draft here in Philly? BLM? Robbery of high rollers en route?

These unlicensed dirtbag riders are getting bold. One cretin barreled into a suburban area two weeks ago fleeing police, ran OVER a little kid and her aunt, ditched the bike, carjacked a motorist, escaped, ditched the car and ran into surrounding woods.

Caught, thankfully, with a collapsed lung and other injuries.

The point stands. Do you let rip in a subway car where you can't fire in a safe direction, where shooting a bystander is beyond possible to actively likely? This is a big issue to deal with in urban areas.

Even if you hit the target, pass through is always possible.

I'm in the area. I don't take BART often. But this is pretty scary. Even scarier I find about it on an internet forum and not on the news.

You would think this would be at the top of the headlines for this area.

Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

These cowards would shit themselves trying to claw their at out at the first shot. If my life, or my wife and children ere in danger, I'd make as many of those fuckers leak as I needed to.
