This is so utterly farcical and disguisting that people will swear until they are black and blue that you are making this up.
Of course, some of the people making that argument would, with the shield of being a face in a crowd, without a shred of irony and self-awareness, behave in that exact same way.
It's really, really bloody sad.
- joker_minmax 3y agoThe guy who told her to die was definitely on drugs and absolutely wired. Which there are bound to be some characters that way in a large city. The others I can't say, they were basically normal passers-by with no abnormal demeanor prior to being cruel.
- rcme 3y agoI think this has nothing to do with being handicapped and everything to do with the fact that the cta allows citizens to be assaulted every day by allowing crazy people to squat in trains. Plenty of able-bodied people have horror stories.
- vkou 3y agoIt's incredibly ironic how you read the actual horror story, and respond by trying to turn this into blaming a pet issue. "It's the bad others, it's not 'normal'[1] people that are behaving poorly." --- [1] Despite the OP explicitly stating that a significant part of the abuse did not come from 'Crazies squatting on trains.'
