If I ever use the light rail, I won't forget to bring my favourite axe with me.

Vigilante

I wasn't there so I don't want to guess what happened but if he was jumped without even knowing it was coming, thats called poor situational awareness. Some have better situational awareness than others.

I have friends that walk around JC and Manhattan with Ipods on at night. I tell them they are targets but they insist that if something happens they'll call the police on their cell phone.

It seems that he never saw it coming and was knocked out cold. If he had a handgun they would have stolen it too. The Deathwish fantasy is just that.

why can't they just post damn cops at these stations? or train the ticket enforcers in tai kwon do

When will law-biding citizens in this $hithole of a city be able to legally defend themselves.
