Which moron?
I feel afraid to live in my city right now after
this happened.
The LRT does have lax security and a couple of incidents have happened there. I have always prefered to take the bus or walk aboveground rather than take the underground system, as it is creepy down there.
I find it quite disturbing and depressing almost no one, out of all the people in the train, did anything while the victims were being attacked. I've been on the LRT many times and there are emergency switches all around the trains. Someone could have just reached up to hit the switch or could have called police on their cellphone, at the very least. It is frightening to witness an incident like that, but you've got to do something. For me I would think "what if it was my family member, significant other, or one of my friends in that situation?". I know the victims in these situations
are someone's family, friend, love, etc. and are as important to them as my loved ones are to me... I would sure want someone to intervene if anyone I care for was in trouble, so I would try to do the same.
The fact it is a possibly racially-motivated, random act freaks me out too... The people were targeted based on their race and being at the wrong place. Ugh, depending on the prejudice of the attackers, almost anyone can be a target. I thought Edmonton was quite tolerant before.
With this and an anthrax scare, this city isn't an ideal place to live...
