A woman who was escorted off an Amtrak train by police this weekend after she allegedly refused to stop talking loudly on her cell-phone has the Internet cheering her fate.
Civilians and quiet-car champions are supporting her ejection for violating policy at high volume during the 16-hour journey. It doesn't help her cause that she became belligerent when confronted about it by one of her fellow passengers.
KOMO News reports that Lakeysha Beard says she felt "disrespected" by the incident, though passengers said it was Beard who was being rude by refusing to stop yapping while sitting in one of the train's designated quiet cars.

Can you imagine having to listen to some loud mouth yenta blabbering on the cell phone for 16 hrs. Someone offer me a gun to put to my head...I’ll thank them for it.

Oh, My!
This creates such a graphic image in my brain I could be thoroughly chastized by the PC police for having such thoughts.
But, it sure rings true to form.

I hope they'll come on here to explain and debate.

Lay-key-sha should wear more flattering colors, like orange. White makes her look ever so slightly overweight. :)

Blacks are NOT inferior, but it is RACIST to hold them to the same standards as everyone else.

This is UNACCEPTABLE.
Sure, they booted her off, but they stopped the train first.
Why did they stop the train first?
