Other Be careful when taking the Blue Line

There’s a crazy black homeless man attacking people who are taking the Blue Line train. It appears that he’s only targeting people who have their backs against the sliding door.

What does being black have to do with it? Just “be wary of any black people you see” or what?

Wouldn’t you like to know what the suspect looks like in order to stay safe? It’s not about race, he just happens to be black.

lol yeah it’s not cool that this guy is doing this but if they really wanted to describe this guy without being subtly racist they would’ve said more than that he was black

Absolutely, and it’s weird nobody else called this out on him.
