[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A woman on the bus gave up her seat so another woman and her kids could sit down together.   And then she asked a group of teens to stop cursing.   I have no idea "how" she asked, but nothing justifies what these kids did to her.    And I get why people are scared to intervene.    What can be done to help prevent some of the out-of-control behavior of youth?

What can be done? Avoid areas and places, like “bad neighborhoods” and public transit where violent people are more likely to be. [/quote]

Your privilege is really showing. You realize that so many people in DC have no choice but to live where they live and take public transportation, right. So we should make it safer for them instead of throwing our hands up and letting these hoodlums run the show. [/quote]

But EVERYONE has a choice in how they act. So [b]I choose to avoid being in areas where people can't act like decent human beings[/b].[/quote]

Wow!  You can make that ‘choice’ due to your privilege.  Some of us are forced to take mass transit.  And we should be able to do so safely.

Also, don’t be so smug.  As crime rises everywhere, the ‘areas where people can’t act like decent human beings’ will be more and more widespread.  [/quote]

This privilege slur doesn’t mean sh!y to me. Say it all you want.

I live in DC but choose not to go to areas like that and have taught my kids to leave any environment where they are uncomfortable and to not get involved when situations like that happen.[/quote]
