You know, you and Orange blossom's right-wing paranoia is making something worse than it seems. True, it was a "racial" assault, but from the information gleaned from the article, the man was victimized by a very disturbed person, one who's racism was brought out by mental illness, or the influence of drugs or alcohol [not mentioned, but I know that these things may aggravate irrational fears].It's bad enough when these situations occur, but when you right-winged nutjobs sit at your computer and reprint this stuff and scream "A-ha" you are contributing to the problem, not trying to find solutions. WMATA should be duly criticized for not having enough security around [especially on early weekend mornings], and not coordinating with other police depts. Leave it at that, not inflaming other people. Really, right-wing hypocrites like you should stay off this board because all you do is criticize Transit for their shortcomings and not offer any solutions. |

The victim did not call this a racist assault. Why should we? The thrust of the article was the failures of WMATA and the police.The OP is the real racist here. |

Posted by WillD on Wed May 2 03:08:16 2012, in response to Racist assault on Washington Metro, posted by Olog-hai on Tue May 1 02:56:53 2012. All this really does is highlight two problems. The lack of cooperation with police departments that may have officers closer to the scene, and the massive blind spot in the CCTV system which TAs like WMATA are faced with on their trains.At this point it's probably safer for the criminal to commit whatever crime on the train as it arrives in a station than to victimize someone on the platform in full view of the cameras. The addition of cameras viewing the inside of the car are a good step in the right direction, but as yet they're only good for an after-the-fact casebuilding effort. Ultimately there *needs* to be a way in which video can be offloaded from the car in near real-time for viewing by the officers that will respond. I would suggest that when the passenger alarm is triggered it should offload the prior 30 seconds of feed from the car's cameras, alert a central police dispatcher, and pop those video feeds up for the dispatcher to view. But that of course would require them to have ancillary wayside data system capable of supporting that sort of data, and they can't even get their main signalling system to keep track of little things like trains. |

I'm pretty sure the Democrats are center and the Republicans are right. I don't see very many in Washington advocating progressive positions like real national health care, same-sex marriage, living wages, full employment or sustainable energy. I see plenty of people in Washington advocating right right-wing positions like endless colonial wars, cuts in public assistance and tax breaks for the ultra-rich and the oil companies. |

Posted by BusMgr on Sat May 5 17:26:48 2012, in response to Re: Racist assault on Washington Metro, posted by The Silence on Tue May 1 22:46:46 2012. It is a so-called "hate crime," but such crimes should not exist. A person should be punished because of wrongdoing. Beating someone up is wrong, and the person who does so ought to be punished. That a person may possess certain opinions about others may be offensive to many, but it is an opinion that one is entitled to possess, and so long as one does not act on that opinion to the detriment of another person, there is no crime. Such thoughts are protected by the First Amendment, just as other offensive expressions are also protected.Hate crime laws punish a person more severely for a wrong act compared to another person who would commit the same act without the offensive thought. Thus, we are enhancing punishment for the possession of a thought which, by itself, is no crime. This is the imposition of thought police, punishing people because of their opinions. (Now punishing people because of their opinions should be distinguished from punishment based on mens rea. That is, the intent or the manner in which the wrongdoing was committed. But having a constitutionally-protected opinion cannot be the basis of a guilty mind.) The police need to go after, and the DAs need to prosecute, all wrongdoers impartially and without discrimination as to race or other immutable characteristics. Otherwise, some Metro riders will rightfully be fearful of being less protected than others. |

And for that exact reason hate crimes should not exist. The criminal ought to be brought to justice because he or she is robbing someone else. That the criminal hates old people ought not, in and of itself, be a crime.Everyone who rides public transportation ought to have the same protection. That is, criminals should have the same deterrents against committing crimes for the entire population, for otherwise criminals (or at least the smarter ones) will target those individuals not in protected classes. (Use the same reasoning and consider: are enhanced penalties for committing a crime against an employee of a public transportation system proper? Are the paying passengers of a public transportation system less worthy of the protection of the laws than the system employees who voluntarily accepted the conditions and risks of the job? Should there be a difference in the penalty assessed against a criminal who assaults a bus driver as opposed to one who assaults the driver of an 18-wheeler hauling cargo? Should there be a distinction between employees of public transit systems that are directly and actually engaged in the movement of a vehicle, versus those who are indirectly involved, e.g., conductors and dispatchers?) |

Posted by orange blossom special on Sat May 5 19:19:46 2012, in response to Re: Racist assault on Washington Metro, posted by BusMgr on Sat May 5 18:54:20 2012. Easy solution.If you commit a crime against someone you do not know, you should be severely punished as the crime is random and society is in danger from such a person. If you attack someone doing their job, your punishment should be more severe also. Work sucks enough, you don't need to get attacked doing it, or be caught up in a 9/11 or 7/7 situation. If two rival gangs kill each other, it should be punished as it is a crime, and a disturbance of the peace. However, YOU are not the main target on the way to work, are you not? Then there is street justice. Hate crimes are there to protect all classes from such unnatural states of rage and hate. |
