How is the progress on the Bottineu Line going? Has anything happened? Or is Golden Valley still being stubborn?

From what I see, current gas prices are having zero effect on driving. Can only guess what will ever drive Minnesotans out of their cars and trucks. They complain about gas the way a crack addict might complain to his pusher.

That took some bravery, and strength.

I'm not saying that criminals won't use the train, but there are people who will take this video, and use it to say "I don't want the train in my neighborhood". Many people don't consider that you could also get carjacked in your own car.

Of course the video also shows the benefits of having citizens willing to take justice into their own hands.

Although in this case, we saw that guns aren't always necessary to disarm an opponent. And actually I'd be quite concerned with anyone using a gun in such a tight amount of space. The room for error is very small.

In this case, it would be something to consider. My fear is that people will take that incident and use it as a reason to say no to mass transit.

That incident seems pretty mild compared to some other stuff. After all, there was a shooting on a bus a while back. That hasn't stopped buses from running in the suburbs.

I hope it wouldn't stop transit from going into the suburbs.
