Doing weekend discussions with friends, I learned some distrubing stories about what happens on some metro lines,  I'm not a metro rider. Most of the conversation were similar to this one - As a metro car was letting people on  with mostly blacks , a few whites, a group of four or five black male teens boarded , took their seats, dress as most teens today,  about 15 - 17 years of age,  soon a conversation started among themseleves with a lot of loud four letter curse words, for a while no one said anything to the group, then a white women said excuse me, do you have to use such foul lanauge,?, the teen who was speaking the most quickly directed his foul speech at her saying : What in the f --- you have getting your white m...f..... b--- BLEEP into our conversation?,  some others with  him join in cursing at the women, the women got up, pulled the metor car line, I'm not sure what its called,  it atlerts the metro of  trouble on the car, when the metro stop the teens left, soon several metro police came aboard and got information from the lady, and left, as the car assumed its trip, another young man who was sitting near the white women told her that she should have ignored the teens because she had  done no good but, to cause him to be late for his next stop, a few others on the train join in saying  the women was wrong and should have mine her own business  adding, it shows that their parents did not raise the teens right and you can't in the few minutes you are on a train, one lady came to the womens defense, but most felt that she could have made a bad situation worse. I wonder about each side and was glad I do not use public transportation often .

Something has to be done to keep the trains running without disrespecting other riders, one person in our conversation said what goes around comes around, some of those young teens grandparents were mistreated worse, often by whites when they rode buses. My mom would say: Two wrongs don't a make right. I wonder how long before respecting each other, might become a norm, no time soon it appears. IIlmanner teens/people, cursing in public or doing worse is getting out of control, finding a way to advance getting along with each other needs to be a focal point that starts at home, making excuses or ignoring bad behavaior seems to be welcoming defeat, Metro may have to do more if it wants to keep riders on it's train without them having to deal with insults and loud cursing. 

Cherish Life,

Whoever the lady was that spoke to them should have her head examined! She obviously has no common sense. She needs to learn some quick! Just because you want to say something doesn't make you right....it CAN however make you dead right. These types grew up on the streets and aren't afraid of you. Foul language can be ignored easily. She could have switched trains too. Come on! I guess because I grew up in the city things like this don't surprise me or bother me. I'll live to see another day will you?

she certainly set herself apart with some chutzpa ...I can see both lines of thought on this and I ain't gonna pass judgment on either line of thought, the latter case is the safer bet but no guarantee …I'd sure love to meet this woman though...

Okay, this is the problem right here, when did it become acceptable and the norm not to have to tolerate this form of behavior. These children were dead wrong and she nor anyone else on this train should have had to endure such language. When did we as people become so scared of the young children today, hell, this is one of the reason they are like they are and color does not have anything to do with it cause I am certain she would have done the same had the children been white or at least I hope so. Regardless, my point is that someone needs to correct these children as they will continue to act this way as they know that adults are scared to say anything, well I applaud this lady and have done this myself. Yes, I got cursed out, called names and more but I will still tell them they are wrong and headed for the penitentiary with this type of behavior and maybe one day some of the ones I corrected will find the correct way to act in public.

I used to ride a bus to Baltimore sometimes from Laurel. A group of people from Baltimore rode the bus here, got some kind of medical treatment for drug addiction at a local clinic, and then climbed on the bus I took to work, to get back to Charm City.

One day two ladies who sat behind me began a very loud, very explicit conversation about their personal love lives. The bus was full. I had no where to move. I asked them if they could keep it clean and keep it down, please.

Well, they told me I was abusing their constitional rights to free speech, and spent the next half hour regaling all of us about how they felt about old nosy white b's.

I don't know still if I did the right thing but it felt better than throwing up my breakfast from what I was being forced to hear.
I refused to be driven from the bus by them, but I did get earphones and listened to music after that.

I wasn't upset with them for being black or for being drug addicts; I just didn't want to listen to foul-mouthed whores on public transportation.

grandmaM;

good for you as I am proud that you spoke up although you were called names still, we as real people with morals and values should not have to accept this type of behavior as normal! If no one else tells you I AM PROUD as it is a shame that people have to endure the stupidity of others!

Well, we know what happened to Sarah Kreager in Baltimore a couple of months ago on a Metro bus... so I'd have to say she was pretty dumb.

Most people I know refer to that at TNB... look it up snitch. It's not an uncommon occurrence... some say it started just after the emancipation proclamation. Gangs of black men would rape White women as payback... so gangs of White men would hang blacks as retaliation. Well, the rope as long gone, but TNB persists today. Some things, you just can't change, no matter how much money and special treatment you throw at it.

Personally, I just stay away from area's where blacks congregate... such as metro buses. I have a conceal carry permit... and carry more often than not. I'd hate for things to escalate, so I just don't put myself in that situation. There are also several 7-11’s I won’t patronize as well as the city of DC itself and most parts of PG County.

It's not that complicating....There are some types not worth the time or trouble. These guys were that type. She wasn't talking to a group of kids in her neighborhood....they were on a subway station in DC where a woman shouldn't be alone. Are you saying you would have confronted them??!! I hope not....

Sorry.....I meant to add....Let someone else be the hero... It just wasn't the right time or place to pick a battle.

Thanks, LilBits. I would do it again, but I still worry that I might have ended up a dead "hero". It was just too nasty to have to listen to it, and I think they were doing it on purpose to irritate all of us riding the bus that day.

I always told my kids to stand up for themselves if bullied (and not to be bullies) and I took my own advice. I believe that is what "snitchonmurder" felt, too. She's brave.

Are either one of us smart? If we don't stand up, who will? Then the thugs take over.

Maybe the lady felt confident enough to speak up because there were others on the train. All props to her for the courage, but she really took a risky chance. You see that none of the others had her back while she was being cursed out. No we shouldn't have to put up with that kind of crap but, on public transportation, you might encounter anything. It's safer to endure it for the ride.

"they were on a subway station in DC where a woman shouldn't be alone. "

That's the most disturbing idea to come out of this thread. A subway station should be safe for women traveling alone whether that station is in DC, Baltimore, NYC or where-ever. And it's that reason why Metro won't attract customers.

it should a safe place CC but the mark of political correctness has become more of an influence than most are willing to acknowledge ...there's been a great loss of family values ...with no real help to rely on from the community you can't put enough cops out there to make the streets safe ...the first line of defense, home life, is lost on irresponsibility, remarkably poor values and diminished control ...without community support and contributions no effective crime policy can expect to succeed...it seems the “system” has produced no real benefits in tryin’ to provide support to those considered strugglin’ to achieve a greater level of self reliance in managing life …in fact it seems it’s harbored, encouraged and enabled them to multiply and strengthen their low life values more than anything else ...theses days there's a casual nature toward things that used to be considered valued qualities in personal behavior …to some their existence thrives on the torment and hurt they can cause others …they don’t rely on knowing you to prompt a misdeed, in fact it‘s novel it seems to pick a stranger(s)…those people bother me the most ...exactly what we may be gettin' closer to I don't know but it doesn't have a healthy look about it and I often feel a bit anxious about my children's families...

Exactly beagle_buddy. That's why we left Fairfax and went south to raise our kids. It had gotten so bad we lost our feeling of security and didn't want our kids to have to deal with it at such a young age. I do believe in standing up for what's right but not at the expense of your children.
We are the people but they are the animals of society. Lost and uncontrolled...they don't mimic us in any way except they walk on two feet like we do. They don't share interest in family values or care about you and me. We can't change what their part of society has made them into so we have no choice but to look the other way. Sad but true.
The city has moved out here too..... It's no longer a confort zone and most of us don't even go to Mall's alone at night anymore. The world is filled with so many antisocial people and scared victims there arn't many places left to go.

when it was evident 35 years ago Rockville wasn't what it was till the mid 60's I dumped and moved well beyond what I hoped would be changes development brings with it ...it's worked but I'm saddened to look back on some of my younger days and recall that Washington may as well have been 2000 miles away, it didn't affect Rockville ...that much change in 50 years is most significant gauge of how that much change impacts the quality of personal values and standard of community life...

Some good comments, people need to make sure they are safe first, if they engage wanna be thugs looking for attention in the wrong way. People should not have to ride in fear. Making Metro rides enjoyable and safe should be Metro # 1 goal, until then stay safe, smart and spritual.

Hi snitchonmurder,
Public transportation is much like the old days of Pony Express--wild and uncensored! Anything can happen during your drive, on a bus or metro rail car.
Riding public transportation for four years, I've seen remarkably crazy behavior, and heard lots of foul language. Yet, public transportation is relatively safe.
One of my main complaints in using it is LACK OF MANNERS by both young and older riders on metro rail and buses. It runs the gamut of people talking too loudly, disrupting the peace, or foul, vitrolic demon speech which curls your toes. Metro needs to add NO FOUL LANGUAGE to its inscribed plates located in each rail car, and begin to ENFORCE rules!
In addition, kids old enough to know better play fight on cars, people eat aboard rail cars and dump their trash, riders sit atop the seats instead of IN them. Then, there's the high-spirited youngsters who take pictures of each other while they hang upside-down on a metro car ceiling bar...
OK, we can't blame metro for riders' lack of character training; that's a parent's job. But we can expect a safe, sane ride to our metro stop--without listening to an endless litany of foul language. Or, feeling threatened by cursing people after speaking up. Let's NOT fear our young! When that happens, we've lost the battle. However, if your compelled to speak up, assess the situation.
As many here have stated, there's always the possibility for more than verbal violence to erupt. Look for signs of danger, first. Such as gang bandanas, similiar clothing of people in gr

...groups, suspicious bulges in clothing around waistband, liquor on the breath, or manic behavior (signs of drug use). In these instances, and depending on mood, my suggestion is...remain quiet. Too risky! As someone wisely suggested, you can move to anoher car. Be safe!
KUDOS!! to BRAVE people!

Born, raise in DC, Cardozo High 67. Some of my beliefs, there's too much violence. Murder is the most vicious act of all. We need to attack the worse crimes first to help cure the rest. All laws related to major crimes need to be reviewed and made clear for like crimes, all like crimes need similar punisment, regardless of wealth or race,using a three step senctencing manner, base on similar crimes, for major crimes, except murder. Murder would be 25 years or Life. I'm working to improved my website for early 08, please stay tune, and Cherish Life. PS. Please visit my updated site @ www.snitchonmurder.com
