How did LA not make it on that list. What a #hit-show that place has turned into. It's like the walking dead.

Here is a quote for you, PP. Think about it. It will do you some good.

"When good men do nothing, they are no longer good. Many have the mistaken notion that good is merely the absence of doing that which is wrong. Not so! One is good not merely because he does no evil, but because he is actively working for what is good. "Let him eschew evil, and do good" (1 Pet. 3:11)

Ignoring an assault, and expecting OP to lump it because it is "just a part of life in liberal urban locales," is why this country is going to he11 in a handbasket.

He kept touching and stroking my knee and getting closer to me (I was a window). Finally I look over and see what he’s watching and it’s violent porn of a gang rape and a woman being fisted. I about threw up from it. I tried to get off at the next stop but he wasn’t going to let me out. Finally I just stepped over him but he grabbed my butt on the way out. Everyone screamed at me and glared at me. They thought I was being rude to this homeless guy. A guy even said “what a b$&@”. I basically just sat down on the sidewalk and cried. I saw him multiple times on the bus after that watching the same videos. Sick that they’re allowed to just ride all day long assaulting people.

I think I know the one who threw the coffee at you. Did he scream too?


They're not. You should have reported the butt grab . Do it next time!

So Ronald Reagan was a liberal?!! I never knew! He’s the one who opened the mental hospitals and dumped these people on the street and Republicans have never - not once - done one thing to help the situation. Their answer is to move to the suburbs.


Well they made sure they can armed if they want. Let's talk about what a big ole dangerous mess they've made out of everything. We are all less safe in this country because of Republicans.

Honey, I’m not a Republican but everyone, I mean everyone with half a brain knows democrats are easy on criminals. They are anti-police and light on crime.

Yeah, because the democrats want to defund the police, set criminals free, and have open borders.

Just teach him that you don't turn your back on potentially unpredictable people- like those who are homeless. He can be empathic and still donate appropriately (eg food not money) but also know that he has no reason to trust people he does not know.

Several years ago, pre-pandemic, there was the same homeless guy who wandered the streets near my office. We would all see him daily on K Street. One day, my colleague was walking down the street, and this homeless guy came up to her and started strangling her. This was in the middle of the day, on a major street in downtown DC. Luckily, there were patrons in a restaurant who witnessed this and immediately came to her rescue.

The incident was reported to the police. It kept him off the street for a day and then he was released.

That said, it's important to have a paper trail so if your assaulter did something to someone else, the police will have a record.


Another one on Team Report It for this exact reason. Even if there are no significant repercussions for the man now, it is important that is offenses are officially aggregated because at some point a judge will see enough of them and take action.
