Why would anyone use public transportation unless they were poor or a criminal? Regular people can afford their own vehicle


Because people in big sprawled out cities like getting drunk without having to drive home. I loved having the streetcar in Nola.

It's probably the notorious Luxembourgian gangs of the Bay Area running amok.


Swedish gang crime is out of control!!!

And now Cali has a bill in their legislature to make the state a Sanctuary State preventing anyone from assisting/communicating with ICE too.






Back in the 70's the jokes were all about Cuba, an island in the Caribbean with it's people in FL. Now it's Mexico, a large Central American nation with it's people in California.

Actually, in big cities it is very common for wealthy people not to own cars and use public transportation..


Wealthy people aren't using BART through the Colesiem stop or into Dublin.

Like we've discussed many times, until government officials and every community is willing to actually say: we have a big problem in this country with young black males committing violent crimes at rates exponentially worse than every other demographic then we can even begin to solve this problem.

Of course the majority of young black males are law abiding citizens. However the statistics speak for themselves and are very alarming. The good young black males are the ones that should be attacking this problem the most.

This is so stupid. What about getting the public's help in identifying some of these criminals? Let's put the sensitivity of people at a higher priority than catching the hooligans.

Holy shite. The psychoticness of San Fran is turning Tangerine into a rational person?

They might as well have "stereotyped." "If we release the video it will create a racial bias" confirms that most of the perps are "minorities."

So, BART just made a public pronouncement that most rapid transit criminals in SF are persons of color.

Half my team lives outside of Chicago. They take trains in from 20, 40, and 50 miles away every day. The commute for the one who lives 50 miles away takes 45 minutes. Which is what my commute is sometimes and I live 1.5 miles away.

Driving, the commute would be at the very least two hours.

But what if a minority gets offended? Do we really want to take that chance?

Is it really racial bias if all the people committing the crimes ARE black?

Isn't it just a fact at that point?
