I think this is the best example why law-abiding people need to be armed. Policepersons were busy sitting in donut shop (or just standing outside the station as per article) and did nothing while mob attacked innocent bystanders. Hope the guy who got beaten up will sue BART for billions. If he had a gun, a few miscreants would have met JESUS! exactly as Founding Fathers commanded.

Oakland schools teach mugging and fare beating using social media to 'time and place' co-ordinate gangs. Where else are they going to practice?

What else is social media useful for these days?

So you would shoot disorderly teenagers on general principles?

I'm think swam of drones armed with tranquilizer guns, always on stand-by. The future will not be kind to uncivilized behavior.

Ah, there it is! Patnet never disappoints with the not so subtle racism.

I would shoot them. I am from E. Europe, and idiot teenagers, called gopniki, are responsible for many people beaten to death. CA is catching up to this E European nonsense.

The swarms of tranquilizer-armed drones are in future, while violent idiots are in present.

Can they cause you or your family serious harm? Are they offering such harm?
If so, what does their age have to do with the personal right of self defense? If a ten year old pulls a gun on me, I have just as much right to take him out as a 22 year old. These “teens” were full or oversized adults with plenty of capacity for harm. We must have the right to self defense.
Take away that RIGHT and we are all at the mercy of criminals.

I'm assuming most commuters are little more than inconvenienced by the teenager mob, maybe some are robbed, but starting to shoot and kill people seems a bit of an asymmetric escalation.

Is there any doubt in your mind as to whom the teenage mob consisted of?

Where I am from, people would predict that mob consisted of ethnic Russians as they are known to behave in this way :)

Read the article: three of them got physical with the guy.

Wait until every behavior is both video recorded and facial recognition identifiable to you.

Thing is, we arent too far off from this. In giant retail stores, like walmart, your face is on camera via 3 different angles every second you are in that store. Once positively identified as a thief the store can then go through their database of all videos w you in it, potentially identifying every transgression you've ever done in that store. Yet, people still steal hundreds of times/day from walmart.

People will have id implants identifying them from a distance.
Walmart automatic cashiers will charge you for everything you carry at the exit.
Add to this that most people will be useless, on basic income, and therefore expendable. Bad people will disappear in the meat factory and no one will notice.

I think he is another one that doesn’t understand trolling.

In cellphones first probably. Wont cars have them too as self driving vehicles all sense each other and drive like flocks of birds?

Amazon talks about this too.
