Delta Employees Attacked On MARTA Train

ATLANTA -- Two Delta Airlines employees were attacked on a MARTA train

MARTA police said they were investigating the incident. A witness said he watched the violent attack unfold Sunday.

"We were intimidated. Everyone was terrified. People were trying to run, but there was nowhere to run," the man, who requested anonymity, told Channel 2's Erica Byfield.

Around midnight, a MARTA train pulled up to the Garnett Station in Downtown Atlanta, authorities said. The witness said up to 30 people boarded the southbound train.

"Once the doors opened, it was like a bum rush of people," he told Byfield. "The next thing you know, they started just beating him. There was blood everywhere. People were hollering and screaming," he said.

A MARTA police report identified two victims as Delta Airlines employees. The report said one victim had a soda can smashed in his face and his wallet stolen, while the other was punched repeatedly in his face.

The witness said the attackers were teens chanting "B. F. P. L."

"I don't know if that's a gang," the witness said.

By the time the train made it to West End stop, some riders were desperate to get off, but the car doors would not open, the witness said.

"So basically we were just trapped," he said.

One day some of these feral little gang scum are going to try this cute trick on somebody sporting a Glock 22 with a extra reload and they will get what they richly deserve and meet their maker (the Devil).

Happily, there will concurrently also be about two dozen less 0bama voters and welfare scam artists stinking up the country!

MARTA has been a killing machine since it started.

The reality is that you have a city about 3/4 Amish, and running a main subway line through it only means trouble.

Yeah Sky...(from WikiP)re: Freaknik Atlanta

...In some areas, the massive increase in cars on the road caused traffic to come to a halt, and the revelers got out of their cars and started roaming the streets. This in turn caused panic in some areas where people could not get home from their jobs, and they were trapped in areas where many revelers started harassing and yelling obscenities at non-black residents. There were also several reports of violence, looting, rapes and other sexual assaults. All this showed Freaknik in a negative light...

Yeah...I guess that sort of behaviour could be viewed in a “negative light”...by some folks ;-)

I'm assuming the Delta workers were white but who knows....all I know is that a white person should never live,work,drive thru, eat in, or travel public transportation in any areas that have a lot of non whites...

learn it people...

its just the facts....we are moving more and more to a segregated country and there are going to be middle class and value based blacks who are going to have to make a choice..

Update:

Flight attendant Parker Stanea, 28, told officers a diminutive black male, no taller than 5′4″, emerged from the pack of teens to hit him over the left eye with a soda can. Stanea was pushed to the ground by the other youths and his wallet, stolen.

His friend, Jose Souza, said he was assaulted by the same suspect, according to the MARTA police incident report. The pink-clad teen punched him in the lip, the 24-year-old Delta employee said, but before they could take anything two unidentified male passengers intervened.

So it was “teens” who did it! Conjures up images of Wally Cleaver and Richie Cunningham.

I carry a gun with me everywhere I go...everywhere!

Not sure if the law has recently changed on this or not, but MARTA was one of the many places in GA where you could not lawfully carry your legal weapon (unless you were a cop of course). If you used a firearm to defend yourself from these high spirited well meaning youts, YOU would be the felon.

Where’s Bernie Goetz when you need him?

Unarmed in NY where is is laboring in perpetual poverty under massive financial judgements against him that were instigated by the NY prosecutors office. Not only did they prosecute him criminally, they represented in civil suits the hoodlums from whom he defended himself.

Moral of the story in NYC it's ok to mug someone, but it is a far more serious crime to defend yourself from these poor underprivileged youts.

Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. First pretrial motion...move the trial to Sandy Springs.

I don't disagree. Just showing whose side the government is on.

Almost had a run-in on a train in Philly a few weeks ago with these ‘types’.

I don't care how inconvenienced I am, I will not let anyone I care about ride the subway or El in Philly. I was on the Snyder Ave platform about 10 years ago with a bunch of Asian kids. They moved so fast, so randomly that it probably looked to me like what an NHL goalie sees in the playoffs. There was no way I could tell what the hell was going on. It wasn't that any Asian kid would worry me more than anybody else, but I learned that in a confined space with a large number of people, I could never make a good decision about the use of a firearm. I, therefore, avoid confined spaces and large numbers of people.

I plan to never be at the tender mercies of the Philly DA or a Philly jury.

That's a safe assumption. See my previous post.
