realizm Posted July 8, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 8, 2013 I support this thread. Transit enthusiasts, transit workers, and straphangers, as well as, bus passengers alike must be made aware of the worsening problem of violent crimes in the subway (as well as on the buses) during this decade despite the overall drop in crime since the turbulent 70's. The frequency in crime reflects in the news reports, it's not getting better, but worse. If the moderation team determines this thread as having practical potential, perhaps this thread could be pinned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted July 9, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 9, 2013 Damn, what a freak accident. No surprise the attacker was checked straight into Bellevue nearly immediately after. And I'm in support of pinning this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
