No, no, no!

The fries are not to "blame"! The fries were a ridiculous excuse for four violent, selfish and undisciplined girls to attack someone.

The blame belongs to the attackers.

Where do so-called journalists come up with this bizarre love for blaming inanimate objects for crimes?

SUVs kill innocent people.

Guns kill innocent people.

Now, french fries cause people to attack innocent people.

With no SEPTA help in sight, NBC 10 News reported, the girl said the assault would have continued if it wasn't for an unarmed vigilante.

"A lady who was sitting on the train near us decided enough was enough," the girls said. "She reached into her purse a little bit and moved her hand around as if she had a weapon. She's screaming at the girls to back up, and the girls yielded."

An old lady reaches into her purse and she is a VIGILANTE????

"It was just astonishing to me that many girls would come after just the three of us," she said. "I didn't think that was possible that me and my friends would be jumped on a subway station in a public place. I thought there would at least be help around somewhere."

A lot of things changed (not necessarily for the better) when PTC (Philadelphia Transportation Company) became SEPTA.

Fortunately they didn't call her bluff. Having a pistol you don't need is always better then needing a pistol you don't have!

England used to send their riff-raff to America. After our revolution, they sent their riff-raff to Australia. Nowadays, we still have riff-raff, but we don't have anywhere to send them.

Personally, I think we should spend money to colonize Mars. I'm just sayin' ...

One knocked french fries out of her friend's hand.

One hand knocked her friend out with french fries. She reached into her friend's purse and pulled out french fries when things got out of hand. One knocked french fry handed her out. French fries are better.

If it were DC, they would have arrested the girl for having French fries on the Metro.

The girl and her friends are students at Philadelphia Girls High School,

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Girls High is the highly competitive academic government school for the city. It is very prestigious.

Philly has been plagued with many atrocities lately. This is just one of a few. In the past week, a man has been murdered and another woman beaten and robbed. I can relate closely to this french fry story as I ride the Broad Street Line from Logan in the morning to center city and back daily. It’s come to the point if you don’t arm yourself with something that can maybe buy you a few seconds to get away from these roving packs of criminals you may not get away alive. It’s bad yet no one seems to care. The media will only play a few seconds and drop it.
I personally do not think anyone really cares about the broad street line at all. It’s a damn shame because when I get on in the am.. I mostly see niced dressed people heading off to center city to work.. We may live in a crappy area, most of us do not live here because we want to, just can’t afford to get out right now. But.. the subway is no longer safe. It’s not friendly, and it’s definately biased. I am A minority in a majority here.
