I don't know whether it's my browser or something weird about that webpage, but I can't copy the text relevant to my comment. Anyway, toward the bottom of the article it mentions: 1.) security video fails to confirm the women's claims; 2.) other passengers' (some black) accounts contradict the women's claims. IOW, the police, (and the DA's office?) and the "news"paper don't want to say what is pretty obvious. This was probably yet another fake hate-crime.
If the supposed perp(s) were named or described so that their identity would be pretty obvious, (t)he(y) should sue the @#$% out of those females for slander and false police reports! Until false-reporters and perjurers are punished at least as severely as their targets would have been, false accusations and perjury will flourish!
