I predict that lots and lots of folks who do not live in MD, DC, or VA, and who know absolutely nothing about the MetroRail system will display their abysmal ignorance on this thread.

For those of you who haven't a f!@#ing clue:

1) Metro has its own police force, with juridiction on all Metro property regardless of state or district.
2) Metro operated on Rudy Guiliani's "broken window" policy long before RG was elected mayor of NYC.

Skyman, I may be wrong about this, but I recall hearing reports at the time that she shoved the candy bar into her mouth as ordered just as she headed down the stairs, and that the Metro officer followed her because she was angry about her attitude. Word at the time was she was "chewing" on the way down. I take metro daily, so I'm familiar with the system, though I've never had any trouble with the authories at all and have always found them pleasant enough. Have you heard differently on this? That the woman was actually ignoring the order and continued eating after ordered to stop? Thanks.

You will be shown to be correct on that prediction.
