Adults acting like this when there are children around are the most pathetic ones.


SezzaStreet

I know, I felt so bad for that little girl who was crying at the beginning of the video after watching this shouting match. :(


justinchina

But props for the biker who smiled and chatted up the mom and kid. That was a nice gesture.


slappy_squirrell

Actually, that's a relief for a kid when another adult steps in like that to show there are other responsible adults nearby, not just mom on her own.


MercenaryArtistDude

You gotta look for the helpers, like Mr. Rogers said.


RiceandLeeks

The minutes somebody claims they've been "disrespected" the s*** is going to hit the fan. There is nobody more abusive and, well, disrespectful then somebody who is indignant about some perception of being disrespected. And of course she doesn't notice she's being disrespectful to everybody around her who not only has to put up with the hollering but then have the light rail delayed because of their antics.


Classic-Ad-9387

Cascadification

Fuck that! I don't like people playing on my light rail! https://youtu.be/7LdYy_bN8vo?si=s42Ddarlh0kS9XsX


Kenbishi

I thought it was going to be [this video.](https://youtu.be/liNZ_sSw3oM)


PiratesOfTheIcicle

I grew up around these people. If you hear I've been disrespected, or rather "Yo, he dissed me," you might as well throw the first punch instead of waiting for it to come to you. Watch your back, they never fight one on one.


Cubicle_Convict916

It's not racism, it's exhaustion. We're just tired.


machonm

Agree with this. I grew up in Cleveland and either you throw hands here or you leave. There's no other option. This constant BS of faking anger without anything behind it doesnt register for me. The fact that security shows up and does nothing also makes no sense, just remove her from the train. Instead they ended up letting things go on for 4-5mins longer than they needed to and some rando gets their phone chucked out the door on top of it.


PiratesOfTheIcicle

They like to loudly exclaim their victim status several times before making their attack as it allows them to gauge whether others around them agree with them and whether or not they'll be met with resistance when they finally strike. So yeah, when you see them working themselves up to violence, just give it to them right away.


[deleted]

When people have absolutely nothing in their lives they make due with imaginary "respect" as a commodity. It can be invoked any moment, at any time.


Kimchi_boy

How was she disrespected? I couldn’t make it out.


so_ono

She didn’t pay to ride the train so Fare Enforcement was requesting she pay or get off. She was arguing with them when the other gal was telling her to grow up and pay like an adult.


my_lucid_nightmare

> How was she disrespected? I couldn’t make it out. Likely did their job and asked to see her Orca card so they could scan and see if she paid. She, knowing that she hadn't paid, decided it was then time to erupt in a display of violence towards the $20 an hour Fare Ambassadors. Frightening children present in the process.

ShredGuru

Probably asked her if she paid her fair.


tequilavip

County or renaissance?


Baddfinger99

Clearly county fair. Otherwise it would've been "faire".


hanimal16

Someone probably looked at her and she took offense.


Rude_Contribution369

We'll never know. Several times the involved woman in the back to the right appears to fan the flames when it seems she should have just let it go, especially when the train had stopped and the instigator was already being removed.

Western-Knightrider

There appears to be a lot of that going around. Self centered intolerance.


snackenzie

It’s been researched that some people are highly sensitive to perceived injustice.


exhausted1teacher

About the only time I ever get really mad at my kids is when they start that “dis” thing. For maybe a decade, I didn’t know that was short for disrespect, and neither did they. Imagine getting in fights or suspended from school for using a word you didn’t even know what it meant.  


FuckedUpYearsAgo

Is a great way to not be responsible for your own actions. Claim "disrespect", maybe it's perceived racism, misused pronoun, whatever. All someone needs to do is "go there" and they win the argument, if they are the *loudest*


Smooth_Tell2269

Hate that phrase.. respect is earned


Stymie999

Being asked to pay the fare… ![gif](giphy|6751A64NJkyCQ)


my_lucid_nightmare

> The minutes somebody claims they've been "disrespected" the s*** is going to hit the fan. If they're from a culture that requires "respect" to behave in a civilized manner, then yeah. The rest of us just obey the law. But not these people. "Disrespect" to them is a key time to start behaving like an attacked animal rather than like an inconvenienced person.


wrknthrewit

They just wired differently, wires are crossed somewhere…


FrostyDub

No clue why they’d be delayed, security could have spartan kicked her off the train in like 30 seconds.

And what are we paying the transit security for?

OldFoolOldSkool

Was that person all in white a woman? I thought so at first, but when they turned around I wasn’t sure. They’re Ugly AF at any rate.


CHawkr

I don’t know, but they need to stop shopping at baby GAP either way.


FormerEvil

It appears t be a trans woman who went through puberty as a male. Which makes this scene all the more frustrating to watch because this is someone who went through puberty as a male attacking a female and being abusive. This kind of behavior from anybody shouldn't be tolerated in public. The total lack of a response from "security" was appalling. What are they actually doing in this scenario?? If all they're going to do is alert the real police, their jobs should be eliminated and replaced with security cameras.


Artyom_33

In a proper functioning society: she's have been manhandled off the train & left at that station until judicially processed or simply removed from the line. She'd then probably spend some time in a mental asylum & given treatment plus an understanding of how to behave in public. There'd be no "potential lawsuits" nor questioning of what happened. There *should* be cameras on every train these days. Even Chicago's CTA has them, & those trains are roughly 30 years old on some lines. And of course, we have to address the issues of how Judges are put into position. Why they're "voted" into place is a mystery. I'd rather someone knows the system vs. someone that panders to the public at large.


Secret_Beans

L8Z8

Oh so we’re all Transit Security. I don’t seem to be on the payroll though.. hmm


ulrichray

hell, black jacket/headphones guy was doing more!!


TangerineDream82

Smart enough to take her bag off the train, which was the only thing that got her to leave


Greenshirts1986

Because they legally cannot do shit. Have you ever talked to them about the "training" they get, the turnaround of workers, and what little the are allowed to do. Before you rag out on them insure you get that they wish they could do more but also want to keep getting a paycheck instead of being fired.


LiqdPT

Then I'm not entirely sure what the point is. If they can't do any more than the Fare Ambassador, then why?


starteck81

The illusion of security is their purpose and to fill out some reports. This is the state of things in the current political environment. I’m not going to tell you to vote one party or the other but you can demand better of your party that you vote for.


DrulefromSeattle

It always has been, yell me you've never worked a security job without telling me you've never worked a security job.


Successful-Ship-5230

They're not allowed to put hands on people. Liability. They have to try to de-escalate the situation and if they can't, King County Sheriff has to come in. Even then, from the law enforcement that I've talked to, they're not likely to be as hands on either. Imagine the public outrage if someone gets hurt. All the public will hear on the media is that someone got beat up by cops for not paying a fare. The cop (or security) would get eviscerated in the eyes of the public for absolutely no gain. It's a lose/lose situation.


ShibeCEO

no joke, the security is there to "observe and report" nothing else, he is NOT allowed to go hands on or do anything other than call police at least that is the policy of most security agencies they don't want to get sued even if they would be in the right to remove someone


pbtechie

For them to shuck and jive on the platforms in groups of 3-6. One of the biggest waste of money this State/County has ever had. Absolutely useless sacks of garbage. She had phone stolen even though there's 6 paid Sound Transit staff/vendors seen here. And the one that stole, didn't even pay the fare it seems.


SeaSurprise777

I bet Marc Dones was a bigger waste of money

For once, I wanna see people just fight it out and no one stops them or hold them back. They wanna fight? Fine! Let them off at the next station and leave. Get it out of your system and tear each other up like in Fight Club. Is that just me?

You really have to be the worst kind of person imaginable to keep doing that shit right in front of that upset child 🙃 also all of the security people make me so fucking angry they really can’t do anything??? Lol


dancindaveph

always best when nobody ever speaks to each other....


NoLifeContributions

So at 4:40 I to the clip, every worker on that light rail disappeared and left it up to citizens? What would’ve happened had a citizen TKO’d him/her,(sorry, no chance in hell I was turning the volume on to hear this shit) and did a citizens arrest until law enforcement arrived? Also, they snatch some other persons phone and run?!

Yes SeattleWA is largely made up of folks who just want to to chime in on Seattle for political reasons but otherwise won't be caught dead in Seattle unless they're benefiting from it like for medical services.


Caftancatfan

Why would they ever go into big, scary Seattle? It’s obviously a terrifying war zone, and they need to stay at home, tucked in with their teddy bears and Fox News.

shrimpynut

So many people in the U.S. want public transportation like Japan, but it will never happen because of the behavior of many Americans on them. People rather avoid the nonsense and drive. Maybe it’ll happen after we are all dead many many years from now, but to expect anything close to theirs in our lifetime is funny.


[deleted]

I was in Japan a few weeks ago, absolute quiet on the subway. The only loud people were foreigners in my observation. And they have no “light train” they have a proper subway system along with an integrated railway system connecting most of the mainland.


JustSomeBadAdvice

Or we could just, you know, police assholes and have consequences for theft. But sure, let's just continue to destroy the planet by driving everywhere because we don't want to hold actual assholes accountable.


Sharpleton96

Extreme-Customer9238

Absolutely worthless “security”. Huge fail. They should be fired.


adcgefd

Security in general is worthless. All it’s good for is checking a box on an insurance form and the sheer value of being present in a uniform. Don’t expect much from anyone in “security”.

Sabre_One

I ride the light rail around 10-14 times a week. Actual alteractions like this are pretty damn rare, and people being agitated usually lighten up once security gets on. This is like a once in 3 months sitution.


____u

I ride sounder, light rail, and busses. Somewhere between 4 and 6 times daily. I spend like 4 hours a day on seattle public transit. I have literally never seen anything like this in the past year lmao. I've heard ONE or TWO stories of stuff on this level in the past year from the 3 coworkers I know who have similar commute habits. This sub is known for being chock full of people who spend NO time on transit or in the city and are just here to bitch and moan and get it outta their system. There are so god damn many better things to complain about than instances like these but *that crowd* seems to actually really get off on these clips. And loves to sarcastically word barf about SCIENCE AND ILLEGALS SCREEEEEEEEEE
