Two years ago, Kristina Harris Perkins, a 19-year-old woman enrolled in the San Jose Job Corps Center with big plans for the future, lay dead on a light-rail station platform. She had been stabbed in the heart.

Now, after a marathon 26-day preliminary hearing spread out over three months, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Rise Pichon has ruled there is enough evidence to try five young adults -- all from the same San Jose family -- on charges of murder and attempted murder stemming from a deadly brawl captured by security cameras at the Alum Rock station.

Two other Job Corps students also were stabbed during the Aug. 15, 2009, fight.

Out-of-control juveniles from a Johnson-era job boondoggle program crammed in a train with a family of Hispanic thugs and gang members. What could go wrong?

The light rail is stoopid and nothing but a huge waste of loot.

That state deserves all the sh*t they get from such trash. They voted for socialism for generations.

A pox upon they! The non-conservative ones, that is.
