I'd like to think I would still intervene. 

Of course you would, because you're a real human being.

I confess that I'm astonished that in regards to this matter, some are justifying the "guards' " lack of interest in becoming involved by how much they are being paid. I think that when we have come to the point where our sense of humanity can be bought and sold or repressed and negated through a contract, we've lost something extremely important that separates us from lower forms of life.

Thanks for telling your story :-)

King County: Armed cops to patrol bus tunnel

 

http://www.komonews.com/news/84183272.html

 Reacting to growing outrage over the beating of a 15-year-old girl in the Seattle bus tunnel, King County officials said armed, uniformed deputies will now be posted in the tunnel during operating hours.

(edit)

King County Executive Dow Constantine said Thursday at least one uniformed, armed deputy will be deployed at each of five tunnel stations as an interim step during a review of the contract with the firm that employs Metro guards.

The beefed-up security measures will take effect Thursday night.

"These new measures will assure transit customers of a police presence that meets their expectations for safety and security in the bus tunnel," Constantine said.

Really? The percentages of those involved in crime say otherwise.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t know any real black people. It is bigoted to generalize in that way.
