What exactly do people expect station managers to do? And bus drivers? They should not put themselves in danger. That’s a job for security officers and police.

I agree he was either super high or is really mentally ill. He clearly was going to get caught and did get caught quickly. If I get on a train and see someone acting erratically, I get off and get on a different car.
I also agree with PP that allowing fare jumpers really decreases the safety of metro. I saw an adult man turnstyle jump the other week right in front of the station manager—the station manager and I made the contact and were both were disgusted but it was clear he didn’t feel like he could do anything about it.
Honestly, I don't love fare jumpers but would rather the station manager, who is not armed and is probably not sure well compensated, not put himself in danger over someone stealing $2.

Lock him up and throw away the key. People like this just get out and continue a lifetime of crime.

The named party has a lengthy rap sheet in DC, did not check MoCo or PG.

From WUSA9 article
Metro Transit Police have been dealing with an uptick in crime across the board in 2023. According to the department's October crime report, Part 1 crimes — such as aggravated assault, robbery and larceny — are up 49% from the same time last year. Part 2 crimes, like vandalism and disorderly conduct, have also seen a jump. According to the most recent crime report, Part 2 crimes are up more than 30% from this time in 2022.

It would be a lot safer if certain types didn’t get huffy about equity every time someone even mentions that everyone who wants to can ride for free.

Pre-cv, I thought nothing of jumping on the train at lunch and going to run errands.

There was an armed stickup at the Takoma/DC border just today as well. That’s a block I walk down almost every week, but not immune to what this city has become.
