To discover that there is a person using public transportation who has obvious mental problems should come as no surprise. The PUBLIC includes the full spectrum of human beings with human behaviors that attend. You have seen people of every hue behave very very badly–caught on tape, even. Statistically, it is quite likely that one of the posters here has anger control issues. You know who you are. What do you look like? Thank you MARTA for pursuing justice for the victims of agression. Better late than never.

Honestly as a black female this video was very embarrassing but some of you posters showed how ugly and racist you really are. As soon as something despicable happens and it’s concerning a person of color-all their actions represents everyone else of color! What ignorance! You didn’t need a video to show your prejudices, did you?

“This girlâ€™s behavior is deplorable and she should be punished, but allowing guns on MARTA is a terrible idea.

Imagine this lunatic girl or other laughing/approving/apathetic passengers are all carrying concealed weapons too. Sounds like a pretty stupid suggestion to add to the mix.

When will the rednecks and gun freaks learn that arming everyone with guns isnâ€™t the solution? Iâ€™m more afraid of rednecks with guns and vigilante justice than obnoxious animals.

What would you do? Threaten to shoot someone with your CONCEALED weapon? Take it out or flash it? What if you did and she didnâ€™t stop? You think you should kill someone for acting obnoxious or verbally threatening someone?

Tough little boys behind your keyboard â€” try taking actions to resolving social issues with your brain instead of answering violence with more violence.”

Im willing to bet some of those animals DID have weapons on them. Criminals dont carry legally.

No one said they’d threaten to shoot anyone. But its nice for a citizen to be able to protect themselves against thug assholes who think the gangster lifestyle helps society.

I think the saddest thing about this whole incident is that not ONE man had the balls to stand up to this crazy irate woman and let her scream obscenities at an elderly, defenseless lady. What has happened? It’s a sad state of affairs for sure. Is everyone so scared for their own life that they cannot defend anyone else? All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. You don’t want this kind of behavior on the train, then get off your ass and do something about it. Quit blaming the transit authority and the police for not being there. There were men all around her who if they had half a ball sack could’ve stopped this bullshit as soon as it started!
