Life, by Caroline

Seriously, my morning was terrifying. There were ZERO cops around and about forty kids jumped this dude and just kept hitting and kicking him. Guys jumped in and tried to stop it, but there were 4 times as many kids as adults on this section of the platform. It was terrible.

When it finally stopped, the guy’s bag had been stolen and he jumped back on the train and confronted this group of kids again. I was now stuck on a train with an angry dude and a bunch of kids perfectly willing to kick his ass. And he was bleeding. Awful.

Does Metro get sued in this situation? I reported the shit out of it when I got to Dupont, which no one else on my train seemed concerned with doing. The station manager was horrified and I watched as she called it in. But still, where were all the Metro cops?

Edited to add… I misspoke. Apparently a few people on my train tried to call it in to Metro police, but I don’t know what ended up happening with that.
