Since everybody is just cold getting killed on TARC buses, here’s a statement from TARC Executive Director Barry Barker:
”TARC is working closely with Metro Police in their investigation of the fatal shooting that occurred yesterday on a TARC bus.
The safety of passengers and drivers is TARC’s highest priority and what occurred yesterday is intolerable. Working with police, we will review the safety and security procedures relating to this violent act. TARC continually reviews and addresses safety and security issues to assure our buses provide safe transportation to the public.
TARC employees responded professionally at the scene during and immediately after the shooting. These are difficult and troubling circumstances and TARC has made counseling available to employees today.”
Translation: You will probably get shot to death if you ride TARC, amen. That’s if you don’t die of a heat stroke waiting for the bus.

What makes you think they haven’t heard of cameras on buses?

Why would anyone think the chances of being a victim of violence would be less likely on a public bus than on a public street? I quit riding TARC when gangs of idiot teenagers started taking over buses like it was their own personal partyhouse and everybody else was there strictly for amusement purposes only. As for cameras, well a camera will certainly help the police identify the murderer who killed you, which isn’t enough of a consolation as far as I’m concerned.

You may hate the cliche, but an armed society is a polite society.

Yes, Citizen-Z. You’re correct. Things were quite ‘polite’ in Dodge City and in Capone’s Chicago. As a matter of fact — things are ‘quite polite’ here in Louisville, where Dodge City has been occurring since Mayor Happy Pants refused to believe that Louisville was becoming a drug courier stopping point and DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO STOP IT.
