MTA Bus Beatings Update

In a surprise move, Judge David W. Young ruled against 5 of the teens in the December beating by 15 year old middle school thugs against Sarah Kreager. I suspect that Judge Young took heart of the issue after reading my harsh criticism the other day.

In a comical statement, the lawyer for the students, Garland Sanderson said that, "I don't understand the state's attorney's argument...All I could gather was that there was an allegation that a group of black kids assaulted individuals on a bus. 'We arrested a group of black kids. They must be guilty.' There is no evidence outside of that."

Hes, he must be correct. Because the police report, the testimony from the bus driver, the medical report for Sarah Kreager - they don't count as evidence. Most likely she fell down at home after slipping on a banana peel.

In an even more hilarious statement, another attorney for the thugs said that, "There's a victim sitting right here, your honor," she said, pointing to Nakita McDaniels, 15. "A victim, and she's charged?"

Oh, that's right. When a middle school thug beats the crap out of a white woman, the middle school thug is the victim. Society must have made her do it. It has nothing to do with the criminal mentality of Baltimore City school children who are mostly raised in broken homes where crime against all people is tolerated.

And does the fact that these thugs are 15 and still in middle school raise a flag with anyone? The last time I checked, kids in 8th grade are 13 years old. Fifteen year olds are in 10th grade. But then again, we're dealing with the remnants of Martin O'Malley's "fixed" school system. I hope he does a better job with the state.

MTA Condones Violence

The MTA, officially known as the Maryland Transit Administration, celebrated two victories yesterday.

First, nine charges were dropped against the teenage thugs that beat the crap out of Sarah Kreager. Other than Sarah's battered face and testimony from the bus driver, police had little evidence to proceed with the case. It appears that Sarah was actually banging her face against the fists and shoes of her alleged assailants. Attorneys for the students claim they are innocent and they are actually the victims in the case.

I'm not sure that the MTA will support this statement, but it appears that the MTA and Judge David W. Young, the judge that dropped the charges, condone violence on the mass transit system. Most high-profile cases of assault and battery that occur on the MTA are dropped for various reasons.

In another incident, a 71-year old attendant was beaten by a patron who allegedly had a disagreement about the fair. The MTA subway, which in suburban culture is nicknamed "the Mugger Mover" and the "Fright Rail", is fraught with violent activities. As a 4-year rider of the mugger move, I can attest to the craziness.

I believe it is unwritten MTA policy to have the blind eye look the other way when the daily violence occurs. If you ride the Maryland MTA, you are putting your life into the hands of people who could care less about your well-being.
