Got a little unnerved today on public transportation
I was working downtown today in San Francisco and took the underground street car home. I was reading my book and then I heard someone kind of yelling crazy stuff. When the street car got I my stop I noticed the crazy screamer was a small older black man holding a backpack. A bunch of us got off at the underground station and the crazy man also did. He was holding his backpack like he had a gun in it ready to pull out. The majority of us were woman of different ages and nationalities. We all went to get on the elevator and saw the guy coming towards us. It was if the air was sucked out of the elevator and you could feel the fear (including me) one woman jumped out of the elevator and started running up the stairs. He screamed to her "you better run"! I was in the back of the elevator and at the last minute the guy turned away from the elevator door and started back towards the train tracks and the elevator door closed. We all let out a sigh of relief in different languages. Upstairs everyone got out of the elevator quickly and hoped the guy wasn't coming up the stairs with his menacing backpack. I wanted to report it to the station master about the guy but the booth was empty.

It is disgusting to live in this society nowadays that you live in fear of some crazy asshole threatening you with a gun like action. I try to be brave but today I was so scared of getting shot in liberal San Francisco.

7. I find it odd you should mention his skin colour.

If he'd have been white would you have mentioned his hair colour?

I think the reason his skin colour was mentioned was because people ran and scared of him just because of his skin colour and not of what might have been in his backpack.

10. Sadly I agree

The fear seems strong in the OP.

Not to say the incident didn't warrant it, I was not there so don't know. The fact she is constantly worried about getting shot by some crazy in SF though leads me to believe there is some level of irrational fear being displayed here.

I thought you all lived in fear of being shot?
Oh yeah,until the perp is black and then just have to look the other way.

14. Turn off the TV

It is making you afraid. Our society today is safer than any time in it's history but the fear is so much higher because the TV constantly drills the negative into your brain.

Say what???
According to the DUmp there is a gun at every turn waiting to kill.

You mongrels must live with a perpetual headache trying to keep all your contradictory beliefs walled off from each other.

Whoops,the OP realized she done effed up.

12. Honestly I was hesitant to report he was black usually it's a crazy white guys.

I am black and was embarrassed he was black. I see and hear crazy people in the street all the time it was because he was holding his backpack so menacingly that scared me.

That said one day Several years ago on the streetcar, I saw a white guy in camouflage pants and shirt carrying what appeared to be a gun case. He got off on Castro Street. I watched him the whole time on the train.

Got to get back into the plantation.

I would say you're in the wrong place, but we know better.

Translation. Once I was out of danger, I never thought about anyone else. I could have easily called 911, but nah. I bought a muffin instead.

The station master?

This guy?

The station master (or stationmaster) was the person in charge of railway stations, in the United Kingdom and many other countries, before the modern age.[1] He would manage the other station employees and would have responsibility for safety and the efficient running of the station. The term is still sometimes used in large stations, although it has generally been replaced by 'station manager'. In the United States the role is termed 'station agent'

Maybe that's what they call them in San Fransisco.  Lefties are pretentious and like to model themselves on Europeans.

This primitive in the same thread, for example:

Primitive repeated the word colour four times.  In America we spell it c-o-l-o-r, DUmmy.

1. I will bet all I have that blacks commit more assaults and murder on public transportation in one month than white men do in a decade.
2. All of san francisco is a gun free, illegal sanctuary area. So you should be on your toes.
3. Fun Fact: about five years ago in Philadelphia, the city council made a strong arm request that all media never mention that the perpetrator of a crime was black. That is why there is NO black crime in that fine and diverse city.....according to the media. According to FBI stats blackscommit92% of all violent crime.

I've gotten to the point where if they don't say it was a white man or woman, then I just assume it's another Obama voter doing what they do best.  It's just like when a politician commits a crime. Unless the reports directly say that he is a republican, then it's a good guess it's a democrat.
