Someone's Gotta Stand Up To This If The Authorities Won't

More Feral Youth, but with a happy ending: Not too long after that teen mob caused trouble on a BART train in Oakland, another attack happened at the same station (the Coliseum stop), with a mob of teens setting upon a woman and stealing her phone. But a bystander -- a 62-year-old unarmed off-duty security guard -- chased down the robbers, and, while being punched and kicked and bloodied, got the phone back. What's also interesting is that BART has basically gone silent on reporting these incidents: They've stopped alerting the public and are leaving the information to websites that you have to search to use. But the local media have been searching those sites for news and are exposing the lack of safety on the system anyway. You can't hide stuff like this for too long.
