That’s the unspoken truth. I’ve seen the look of terror as people get on a bus or train and see the only seat(s) available are next to thugs. Especially young females. No wonder people won’t use public transportation.
I had one thug show me a gun on a bus 30 years ago. That was my last time on Greyhound.
Your comment reminded me of this scene from “Crocodile Dundee”
