The following is a sampling of random Youtube videos, filmed on CTA trains.
Warning: These videos contain extreme violence, questionable images, and foul language.
This video was uploaded to Youtube on December 4, 2010, and is entitled, "Crazy n*ggas on a train".
In the video, a CTA passenger is savagely assaulted by several young black men. The attackers punch, kick, and even stomp on their victim's head... while laughing hysterically. The video has been viewed less than forty times and definitely needs to be reviewed by police.
This video was uploaded to Youtube on April 4, 2011, and it's called "Crazy lady on CTA Red Line".
In this footage an apparently mentally ill woman on the CTA Red Line engages in a rambling, incoherent monologue and eventually exposes her bra.
This video was uploaded to Youtube on April 18, 2011, and is labeled, "This is America! Drunk chicks fighting on the Red Line".
Here, we have a group of purportedly drunk women, who become irate when they realize other CTA passengers are filming their questionable behavior. The incident took place as a Red Line train approached the Argyle "L" stop.

Yup, all this human garbage makes public transportation a real pain. And don't forget all the pigs who dump their garbage, chicken bones, newspapers, and everything else on the floor. Plus the stinky homeless bums who smell up the trains and dirty up the seats just by having their filthy bodies in them. Throw in the insane, possibly violent mental cases who rant and rave and you've got a real unpleasant experience.
ReplyDeleteThe CTA should do away with the "street performers" who are currently allowed to make their noise at the Loop subway stations. It's nothing but a loud and annoying infringement on the public. It's not musical or entertaining, it's just a deafening racket that's forced on people as they wait for their train.
That first one is unreal. Video evidence of the pack-o-blacks wilding bs that is sweeping this city.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, Fitz!
The same thing happened to me twice.
ReplyDeleteTHANK GOD I didn't follow my first impulse to FIRE BOMB a crowded CTA train the next day (NO POINT Incinerating INNOCENT People).
This is pure insanity at it's best. GHETTO THUGS in the first one, MENTAL patient in the second one who clearly isn't on meds and should be in a facility and last but not least, WHITE TRASH & THUGETT'S....This is EXACTLY what people who ride the CTA trains deal with on a daily and nightly basis. All these low life's think the CTA is their OWN private space. My partner had a mental idiot spit in her face. Lucky for this asshole I wasn't there! I do not put up with these scumbags and don't back down. That's what they want.
ReplyDeleteNot only should these video's be sent to the CPD, they should be sent to the CTA! How do you do that Timothy? I'll do it, just tell me how:)
@Mike P, darlin' you need some serious help. All your comments are about hurting people or getting revenge. You seem to be a scary individual as far as I'm concerned. I'm angry about the way these Ghetto thugs, thugetts and now, some white trash are affecting our city too BUT I'm not going to become a vigilante. I'm not going to get revenge, I've become more involved by participating in my neighborhood and calling 911 & 311 when it's necessary. You should be doing the same, but make no MISTAKE about it, I will defend myself and the people I care about.
Mind your own goddamn business on the trains and you avoid 99% of the static that occurs. Seriously, not matter what is going on, don't get involved. People get killed in stupid situation like this. Even saying one word can put you in danger.

ReplyDeleteWhat mistakes did the man in the 1st video make?
Towanda, you can email CTA a link to this article.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you appreciate this post. :-)
I tried to find videos that gave a clear picture of what it's REALLY like to ride CTA's trains.
Anonymous@5:47. So I guess what you're saying is IF YOU saw someone getting their as kicked on the train, you wouldn't do a thing? That's one of the reasons these ghetto thugs are taking over the city. "I know nothing, see nothing and hear nothing"...great, you now become part pf the problem rather than part of the solution. It takes a community to take our streets back, I would imagine you belong to a community? Oh, wait, you would rather everyone ELSE take their streets back..while YOU mind your own business and look the other way. Nice.
ReplyDeleteHere's an interesting read about THE POOREST place in the USA

@towanda, dear I would quite probably NEVER actually DO any of the things I said (I did feel it at that time - only as a thought though).
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it is scary; but beating up total strangers for no reason on a train is scary too.
AND ONE DAY, like Columbine or Ft. Hood - they will attack a REAL nut; who won't mind taking revenge on innocent people.
I want to see how things like this play out once Concealed Carry becomes law; of course the Thugs will be armed too - so it will be Wild West on the 'L'.
If YOU were on the 'L' (and armed), would you defend yourself (or another person)???
Concealed Carry WILL become Law precisely because of incidents like this.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think the guy in the first video will do after he starts carrying, and recognizes the same group of Thugs who beat him up before on the 'L'???
Mike P, you can bet I would do what I can to protect myself or my loved ones. I'm not the kind of person to look the other way either. You just seemed ready to explode on anyone so I'm glad you're calmed down...I hope you filed a report too.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't nickname the "colt" the "equalizer" for nothing:)
When conceal carry becomes law, these ghetto thugs will become cowards.
I filed report, a lot of good that will/would do.
ReplyDeleteThe thought keeps crossing my that "anonymous" may BE one of those Ghetto Thugs - and his statement is a warning to all. I'm sure they have internet access like everybody else.
ReplyDeleteWhat about it a?
Mike P,
ReplyDeleteNO doubt about it. I have thought the same things before when I read some of the "Anonymous" comments. I'm glad you're all right and I'm glad you filed a report..even thought I also think it does no good because it doesn't seem these ghetto thugs are caught, but ya never know:)
Call me racist, but if I see a large group of young black men on a train car or bus, I TAKE ANOTHER CAR OR BUS. Period.

ReplyDeleteWithout any hesitation.
