I personally believe that the prospect of getting hassled and ticketed by fare enforcement staff is a legitimate reason we don’t see more people on the trains who are visibly suffering from addiction and homelessness.
i also stopped riding once they ramped up the fare enforcement. i’m not homeless or addicted, i just don’t enjoy confrontation and fare enforcement (regardless if you paid or not) is an extremely confrontational interaction.
and he does this just one day before elections. bold move, Harrell.
Jonathan Choe, the far-right broadcaster (“I’m going live for Newsmax and I have to deal with this shit too?” I heard him complain), posted a video of himself clubbing a protester who touched him. The protester was arrested; Choe was not.
wish there was a video link for that. i found this, which i think is a dubbed version of what Erica’s referencing.
In August, the man allegedly pulled Dalton from her car, which struck and killed her as her assailant drove away.
i’m having trouble visualizing what happened here. she was pulled out of her car, and then her car rolled over her? but it only rolled her over after the assailant had returned to his own car and was driving away?
i’m not trying to be a skeptic: i’m just confused what actually happened.
make this clear to ST and the legislature. make your vote for their next lightrail levy conditional on it being fareless.
