Woman beaten on bus
The Examiner ^ | Dec 6, 2007 | Luke Broadwater

Posted on 12/06/2007 10:55:04 AM PST by rjsimmon

As Sarah Kreager, 26, tried to sit down on a Baltimore City bus Tuesday, police say, a middle-schooler told her she couldn’t. When she attempted to take another seat, a middle-schooler wouldn’t let her. Finally, according to police, Kreager just sat down.

She was “immediately attacked” by nine students — three females and six males — from Robert Poole Middle School. They punched and kicked her at 2:59 p.m. at the intersection of 33rd Street and Chestnut Avenue, according to Maryland Transit Administration police.

Kreager was dragged off the bus and her boyfriend, Troy Ennis, attempted to get her back on, police said.

She sustained “serious injuries” and had to be transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, according to a police report.

Nope. In the People’s Republic of Maryland, where I have the misfortune of living, you’re not allowed to carry weapons.

Maryland has quite strict gun laws.

I like these quotes!

A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Larry Elder

A woman who demands further gun control legislation is
like a chicken who roots for Colonel Sanders.
Larry Elder

According to the Social Security Administration, in 1945,
41.9 workers supported each individual retiree, while today
only 3.3 workers support each retiree.
This system cannot continue.
Larry Elder

In the last 1,000 years, the Arabs have translated
as many books as Spain translates in just one year.
Larry Elder

Increasing minimum wages, as Kerry wants to do, makes it
more difficult for an unskilled, uneducated worker to find
a job.

They were all 14 and 15 which is highschool, not middle school age:

Maybe they were held back.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhh...suspended & arrested...

which means instead of beating people up on buses after school, now they’ll go into grocery stores and beat up elderly Koreans...or probably kill someone.

MINIMUM they should be in a boot camp for about 6 months to a year.

I’ve never had to deal with this problem, thank God. But I read an article by a self defense expert who said much the same thing: Do EVERYTHING to avoid a fight, apologize even though you did nothing wrong, don’t talk back, run away if you can. Only when there is no option do you fight. And you fight with the understanding that it is kill or be killed. No rules, no quarter given. Bite, claw, kick, kill. Fight with the understanding that when it is over and you won, you will be taken to the hospital and then to jail. —Judged by 12 vs. carried by 6.

No. Perhaps if your trapped in some horrible situation that's needed. Not for this.. These are middle school kids. Just kick their stupid little asses. I bet NOT ONE of them has EVER been hit in the face by a full sized adult man who knows how to throw a punch. After they get done spitting out teeth and blood the whole mini riot will be OVER.

And, sorry, there is NO FREAKING WAY I am going to apologize to anyone if I'm not wrong, particularly to a bunch of juvies like this. It's people who think and act like that instructor who (inadvertendly) encorage this. When I was a kid the bus driver would have got up and kicked ass on these brats. Other men on the bus needed to intervene.

We have become a nation of pathetic wimps.

I’ve thought about it and 99% of the time IF they even make it to 21, they’ll not only have probably killed other innocents, but once their insanity is finally addressed, they’re not only too far along for regaining any chance of having a life of their own, but us sane folks will end up paying for doing nothing now, for the rest of their natural lives!

A tragic event...but it doesn’t belong in the activism/chapters sidebar.

Where is Bernard Getz when you really need him?
Jail.


Nope. Did his time, got out, ran for Mayor of NYC in 2001.

Wouldn't that have been a hoot if he had won?

I imagine many of these kids HAVE been punched in the face by their mother’s boyfriend and MUCH MUCH worse. Yup, to the point of spitting out teeth and so on...

and what they learn from that experience is Baltimore’s child protective services, in that rare 1% of the time they even get that “service”, is so horribly tragi-comedy inept that they have absolutely ZERO hope. Alot of these kids had no chance from the day they were conceived.

I’ve seen plain vicious ELEMENTARY school kids, much less middle school kids.

But so long as the politically correct liberals have abolished so much as breathing Jesus in school and banning prayer...all remains well in the world!

Do you want music or justice?

And I hope they will be.

Heard about this on the radio today. Seems very similar to the “hoodie” attacks in the Yew Kay.

"Riding the bus is a privilege,” she said. “Public safety is our primary concern.”

How nice of them to be concerned in Baltimordor.

Unfortunately, they're in the social cesspool known as Baltimore ... in the Peoples' Republic of Maryland.

Self defense is frowned on, there.

Just ask our boy Governor.

He used to be Baltimordor's boy Mayor.
