Another Bus Attack Reported, still no sign of Sharpton or Jackson
This is so stupid. I'd usually say the white guys were lying just so they could get on TV but it looks like there is footage of this incident! Patrick Green and Robert Rothe told WBAL TV 11 News that they were antagonized and attacked after boarding the No. 64 bus late Monday night in south Baltimore.I'm sure they wandered unarmed onto a bus full of black folks and called one of them a ni99er. Happens all the time. The men, who are white, said the attackers yelled racial slurs and that no one on board, including the driver, stepped in to stop the attack. MTA surveillance cameras captured four men boarding the bus at the Hanover Street stop Monday night, moments before Green and Rothe got on. Green and Rothe said they believe other passengers were afraid to help and that the driver refused to call for help. Sounds so, Islamic. Now we know why the moderates are hiding. "We were saying the whole time to the driver, 'You need to help us, call the police,'" Green told 11 News reporter Kerry Cavanaugh. "He said, 'I can't. I'll get in trouble.'" Now you're not working. Not that unemployment is like trouble or anything. Roth said the driver closed the door and drove away, even though the attack continued once they got off the bus. At which point he called the cops, right? "We could've been left on the side of the road, dead," Rothe said. MTA officials said the driver of the bus is currently not operating a vehicle while the incident is being investigated. MTA officials said they're not currently classifying the incident as a hate crime. They said they're simply calling it a common assault. Uh, whatever avoids with dealing with reality, I guess. I'm sure folks won't be able to figure it out if you don't label it properly. Green and Rothe said they're mad it took MTA officials three days to release photos of the suspects. They were afraid they'd get into trouble, too. Anyone with information is asked to call MTA police at 410-454-7720. Offer some rock for a reward and you'll get them a lot quicker. In a similar incident, Sarah Kreager said she suffered broken facial bones and other injuries after she was punched, kicked and dragged off a bus Dec. 4. Kreager's companion, Troy Ellis, was also attacked, but not beaten as severely. So don't put them in jail as long. That incident is still under investigation. . . . until the heat is off. What is so effing hard? Find the ba$tards, stick them in jail. Do it with gusto. Now. If their family wants to cough up $20,000 for each of them they can get out. Put facial recognition cameras on the buses and you'll stop this kind of crap instantly. If they use the bus once, they'll have to use it again or walk for the next ten years. And the drivers should have an inconspicuous "incident" button they can push. I understand that they don't want to get their a$$es kicked by six nothing-to-live-for-yet ignorant 220# teenagers and their terrorist sympathizers any more than I do, but something has to be done. It's not often you have such good footage of the perps, use it like you mean it. Fix the problem or it will get worse, not go away. And it's time to call a racist a racist. Any ideas WTF is going on here? I'm beginning to think there is a suppressed tribal gene that seems to be on the verge of expressing itself, or the exploitive rantings of the Right Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson's have come home to roost. Maybe it will go away once these folks can be forced to look in the mirror for a while. Posted by: gorb 2007-12-14 |
