Hate rides the rail

Sad but true that the trains are filled with angry people. Kudos to the Transit Police for their arrest of a troubled teen with a replica assault rifle threatening passengers yesterday at South Station. They showed great restraint in what could have been a deadly situation.

More police presence needed.

More police presence needed. Just having a law enforcement physical presence makes things like this less likely to happen. Public safety is important. Don't ever say "excuse me" to a person who is ready to snap.

This is ridiculous

Don't ever say "excuse me" to a person who is ready to snap.

And she was supposed to know he was "ready to snap" how?

How much neck were you expecting to be able to see on a guy wearing a balaclava under a hoodie with another hood around his neck?
