"At least there's some good news. The proposal to 'decriminalize' fare evasion just got flushed down the toilet."
This is the takeaway.

Define thug for me.
The armed Metro poster child, for one.
Black? That = thug?
Criminal. Law breaker. Parolee. Illegal handgun. Repeat offender = thug.
What would you call him? A poor, misunderstood individual? An upstanding young man from DC?

Don’t be silly only mass murderers who favor AR-15’s are poor, misunderstood individuals.
No the criminal/law-breaker definition sounds fitting. How exactly do you spot them?

Young black males commit 90% of the crime on Metro. If you stumble actossnone on Metro, stay as far away from that individual as possible.

A fine example of the thuggery that infects the metro, though I'm sure certain members of the council would say they were just young men on the brink getting their lives in order!

From the Washington Post -- Yeah!
"Metro nabbed a poster child for fare evasion this week.
On Thursday, two officers at the Minnesota Avenue station saw a man slip through the fare gates without paying, followed him to the platform and asked to see his SmarTrip card, the transit agency said in a news release.
“Don’t even check it,” the fare jumper was quoted as telling the officers, because the card had a negative balance.
Turns out this wasn’t a hard-luck passenger who was caught short on his SmarTrip balance. He was a habitual fare evader and a paroled criminal, according to police. He was also illegally armed, Metro said."

Panhandling, pets, obstructing passengers, eating and littering are all prohibited on Metro property, but it doesn't seem to matter anymore. "Decriminalizing" those who engage in theft of services (i.e., riding Metro without paying the fare) will only accelerate this downward trend.

Half the stations in DC are already homeless shelters, so why not go all the way?

Don't see in the article where it states they skipped fare before their robberies/assaults can you point it out?
That's not the point. Rather, it's the broken window phenomenon. When law enforcement indicates that it doesn't care (or is directed not to focus) much about "small" stuff, it creates a general sense of lawlessness and empowers criminals to commit more serious crimes.
Not buying it.
They didn't skip fare and still committed robbery/assault.
