Older men get mugged because they too are perceived as vulnerable..

Young men get harassed by other young men - trying to pick a fight, start something. Young men get beaten, curb stomped, stabbed, shot, tied to the end of a car and dragged across the pavement..

Yes, I did. I read the story after I left my comment. I then went and deleted my comment but you had already replied to it...

Smart women don't ride the Electric Line at night. It's bad enough in the day.

Default This thread REALLY wasn't worth reviving. Really.

What are you talking about?

I guess "smart" south suburban women drive long distances to a different Metra line then..? How do smart women get home at night when they're in the city, left their car at home and rode to the the city on the Metra Electric train? Do smart women make sure to leave the city before nightfall so they don't have to take the train home to the suburbs at night? What if they're a commuter who doesn't get off work until night time? There are many smart south suburban commuters who ride home from work at night on the Metra Electric line.

Here's a map of all Metra lines. Now say you're a Steger resident who wants to get to the city in the afternoon and come home at night. Are you honestly saying the SMART thing to do is to drive all the way to the Metra station in Mokena instead of just taking Metra Electric nearby? How is that smart? It seems kinda stupid and pointless to me.

Where are you from? I don't know anyone who is afraid to ride Metra Electric to get to and from the city at any hours..

I know it's wild but I've never heard of any crime happening on the Metra at all. I imagine it would be hard to get away with most crimes unless you commit it right before your stop. Even then it would be difficult. I'm not saying there's never been any crime on the Metra. I've just never heard of it.

A crazy woman once demanded that I give up my seat for a 'freind'. I said 'no', as I don't do disrespect. She then started screaming all over the train and I ignored her. I got up to get off the train and she punched me in the back. I believe it's called battery.

There are a lot of assh0les in the world. There's no escaping them anywhere.

If the conductor had seen it happen, the ending to the story might have been different.
