Agreed--this isn't a just a nuisance crime.

So will these kids have what, zero punishment? Ty city council

No they won't. Teens don't believe anything will ever happen to them.

PSA: If something happens on the Metro, report it right away so they can direct Metro to view the right camera footage right away, and most importantly save it. They only save it for something like 24 hours unless a specific incident at a specific location is reported -- not a lot of time.

The DC Council seems hell-bent on decriminalizing crime on the Metro, and the criminals have gotten the message.

Please. What could he have done that would in any way justify this behavior?
