True, but unresponsive to my point. I like to think I would refrain from any statement until the facts had been sorted out. After all, her son had already offered two conflicting statements, which would have been a red flag in the first place.
She ultimately did her son no favors with her conjecture.

So as nearly as I can tell, the answer is no. It doesn't mean she never said it, but that link certainly doesn't say she did.

You're splitting hairs. My issue was never with the whole on the train, on MARTA, here, there, or where ever. If was the fact he lied about being jumped and beaten up and the fact the Mom ran with an obviously fabricated story with no ****s given. The location was irrelevant.

So many lies and so little time

He fell off and shattered a vertebrae. monday morning chick used a friends phone to ping her cellphone and she was then able to locate him on the right of way between kirkwood and decatur. police were called. he was still considered high by the hospital when they picked him up on monday. they found the car he climbed from all the blood he left behind when he sliced his hands open climbing the autorack."


Apparently the railroad is considering pressing charges against him

Yeah I could see that playing out.
Jimmy Boy snoops around his boo thing's phone. Finds some questionable texts in boo things phone from some 19 y/o GT undergrad or worse yet the 3rd string OLB on the football team. Jimmy Boy who is already wasted gets in his feelings and snatches boo things phone and stomps off mad into the NW Atlanta night. Jimmy Boy then does a Daniel Craig off some random DT bridge and then messes himself in the process. And instead of telling Mommy he had a narcotics fueled mental breakdown, he comes up with this wack @ss story. Yeah I'm totally throwing crap on the wall at this point, but that seems more believable than him getting jumped and robbed.

Robbery is a very real problem in this city, but this dude didn't get robbed. It's clear as day he didn't get robbed. Some homeless J running his pockets while he was on the ground out cold from falling off the freight train- yeah I could see that. But no one mugged him or robbed him while he was walking around.

The link includes a video of her saying that exact quote.

No robbery would ever leave an expensive iPhone with the victim.

You jump on a train. That's not very intelligent.

There wasn't indications of sexual assault, so that should've been the first tip that this wasn't a 'MARTA crime.'

You going to finally apologize for that bull**** thread you started stating that this was on MARTA?
