We're the Only Ones Fare-Minded Enough

A man who tried to get away from Transit Sheriff's Deputies on a Metrolink Train yesterday was shot at, but not hit. Police were checking fares in Norwalk when one man split after the train doors opened.

Unbelievable. Over an unpaid fare. Can you see a private cab driver getting away with the same response? Oh well, Norwalk is in LA County--it's not exactly like anyone not connected has a chance in hell of getting a carry permit anyway.

So what did the bullet strike, and how far did it go before it did?

Man, I can't wait 'til those full-auto New York "Only Ones" from "Operation Torch" with the 34% hit rate are up and running in the public transit depots...

I'd much rather die defending freedom for my grandchildren than saving $3.50.
What if, like the Londoner arrested for littering because an apple core was seen on the sidewalk near him, someone only THINKS you did something trivial?
I remember various hurricane evacuations when coastal states KEPT THOSE TOLLBOOTHS STAFFED and backing up traffic for tens of miles as people fled for their lives. The governors must have felt like Christmas came early that year.
Due to inflation, the chemicals and metals that make up a human body are now worth $7.50 but a human life is still only worth a plugged ... er, dollar

I see this differently. I see a government parasite who acted like judge and jury and convicted this person with the sentence of death. It is now a death sentence of death on the spot to cheat the government out of a few dollars.
What a great country we have become when a government parasite has the full weight of the system behind them to be allowed to kill citizens for not paying a few bucks to ride a train.
My hunch is if someone was killed by the stray bullet. The parasites would have grouped together and said the person running had a gun. Never mind it would be a full blown lie. The parasites would circle the wagons and lie, lie, lie.
What about Sean Bell, and the cops said they saw a gun and no gun was ever found. Of course they lied about seeing a gun, prove they didn't. Even if no gun is found, no one can prove the parasite didn't think he/she saw a gun.
Soon we get to read about people who cheat on their taxes having a IRS swat team come to their homes and kill the whole family, even the 3 pound pet dog.
