- Metro officials are meeting Thursday after three people were violently attacked in the past week aboard public buses and trains.
Annie Rose Ramos reports for the KTLA 5 Morning News on April 25, 2024.
KTLA 5 News - Keeping Southern Californians informed since 1947.
Keep the crazy zombies out of the Metro area!! Patrol the areas 24/7.
They need to hire more private armed security guards
@@ezequielpedroza3865 Why?
The private security is under the same laws as civilians in CA. They cannot stop anyone, shoot anyone or do anything unless they are directly attacked. If they are not directly attacked the person they attack can press assault charges on them. Even if they did stop them, do you think they will be held in prison, or not released on no bail?
For real poor lady was just getting out of work , smh 😮
Yup boots on the ground
@@gotafarmyet4691: They should allow concealed carry guns, after the Bernard Goetz incidence in NYC a few years back, crime on the NYC subways dropped dramatically.
That poor family is destroyed because of Gascon and Bass' pro-criminal policies. I hope the victim's family sue the hell out of LA.
Gascon shows little empathy. I'll bet he could have easily predicted this, and did!
Keep Bass Pro Shop stores out of this, ridiculous
It’s all Metro’s CEO fault!!!
🤡👈 that's you😅 and keep hating on Gascon he is going nowhere he is perfect at his job!!!
Why live in L.A. if one is putting their life at risk?
How Gascon can say this "never should have happened" is sickening, he's right it shouldn't have happened and with his loose on crime policies this repeat offender was free on the streets, the king of hypocrisy!!!
Gascon and the perpetrators are J B supporters.
Why is he still in office?
I use the LA metro trains often and the problem I see is that these homeless/mentally ill people are getting on these trains without paying thus shouldn’t be on these trains, there is NO security at the entrance blocking these people from jumping over or squeezing through the tap card entrance gate.
Thats so true.. people pay to ride in fear.. risking their lives just to get to work.. while these bums ride for free
You are 100% correct. As usual, it's all the fare evaders causing all the problems.
@@BobSmith-yo6ib The fare evaders can cause problems because the responsibility evaders in local politics refuse to do anything about the situation. 😐
When police enforce the fairs and contact unruly people. There's always a handful of regular commuters who astracize them an accuse them of harassing the homeless or people of color and accuse them of having nothing better to do...
Bingo! They freely walk onto public transport which is BS.
It’s always the usual suspects. Stay vigilant
The media don’t mention that! God forbid if it was a white dude
If the transit system isn’t safe, it is absolutely useless😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
he looks sleepy
Is not the metro, is the homeless
It’s actually the DA
@@markhernandez5760EXACTLY !!!!!! Not arresting sends a message. They can keep doing it
Gascon is THE WORST DA EVER.
Vote for Nathan Hochman and spread the word!
"never should have happened" Yes but it did Gascon! So will you be held accountable? Yeah right!
If gascon is reelected we're screwed
If Gascon is re-elected we are go0d🙋
@@turboduran2531 how do you figure?
If Angelenos elect him again, they're being stupid. Vote for Nathan Hochman!
@turboduran2531 do you get your medicine in tijuana?
@@FloridaMan69. come on dude don't be burning yourself I don't want to know that and just to let you know I'm not even from Mexico I'm a US citizen this is my country you better Bow Down
Gascon is full of it. Only because he's up for reelection that he's speaking up. He's the main reason L.A. is a mess. He doesn't want to prosecute anyone and he let's these violent offenders out of jail all the time.
well u guys keep voting democrat
You guy's are funny you guy's are blaming Gascon😅 well keep hating Gascon is going nowhere🤷 he is perfect at his job! just speaking Fact's🙋
Yep, his parents were in and out of jail. Hence he hates jail
Situational awareness people. I'd rather be accused of racial profiling ... than dead.
arresting those repeat offender criminals is one thing but keeping them locked in is the main issue.
Bring back the chair
so they allowed him to keep going until he klled someone...
Always be carrying, use extremely prejudice profiling, and keep social distancing to the max. And if you're a female, subcompact on your body, not in your purse.
The U.S. Supreme Court has also ruled that police have no specific obligation to protect. In its 1989 decision in DeShaney v. Winnebago County
Don't go near the usual suspects and homeless, and you'll be fine.
Extreme prejudice profiling. The usual suspects.
How can you carry on the train
Metro, LAPD, and LASD knew about the issues in raillines and busses but never did anything. Gascon is also to blame for being so damn lenient.
If you see something, say something and get ignored.
gascon’s parents were in and out of jail hence he wants to abolish jail
@stevelanthripp5567 Metro "security" is also crap. Someone was brandishing a large knife in the blue line, and someone told them about it. Their response was, "I didn't see anything." How are people supposed to feel safe when they aren't doing anything?
Metro’s security is a joke just like the ambassadors waste of funding…
@deema6850 LOL I agree 100%
i woud sue the govenor and the state for gross incompetence,
ok you are putting up barriers to protect the bus drivers but what about the riders? why do we fall behind safety and cleanliness compared to other developed countries?
Right. The solution doesn't fit the problem. Hell-oooo!!!!!! 🤦
Just wait till the fare becomes free and all door boarding. Violent criminals, homeless will be boarding all over again like it was during the pandemic. Don’t you understand MTA does not care for US or there Operators. They allow people to do drugs drink alcohol on their buses and trains . The operators cannot do nothing but to operate the bus safely as they’re told to do…
Usual suspect!
In that meeting they’ll be discussing nothing of importance towards the citizens of LA
I'm sure there would be more outrage if somebody started using non-preferred pronouns. 🤪
🐕💚🍕 will you be having the captains platter or the ranchers plate? 🤔 and to drink? 😩 and there are three choices for dessert 🤯
Gascon is to blame for the consequences of the revolving door policies for repeat violent offenders. That's what killed her. Make our streets safe. Vote out Gascon. Vote out Gascon. Vote out Gascon!
Gascon has my vote🙋
@@turboduran2531 You and the criminals.
And govenor Newsom
The suspects all three of them have something in common...but you can't say it without being labeled a way cyst
They were all Swedish!
Talking about everything but the real issues: insane drug addicted vagrants everywhere and a useless DA (Gascon)
Note that the man arrested has a reported history of assaulting people at this same station. An the other news item, bus drivers are going to get a cage to ride in to protect them. Why not cages for the bus passengers also. LA's soft on crime policy isn't working.
Okay so George Gascon says this is a tragedy and never should have happened. Yet because of Gascon’s horrific soft on crime policies, the perpetrator had already been arrested for multiple assaults at the same train station and remained on the streets. The victim’s family should sue the daylights out of Gascon.
Ok barriers for our fellow drivers that’s good. BUT how about US passengers?? DONT ALLOW HOMELESS PEOPLE THAT DONT PAY. It’s unfair that we hard people pay and don’t cause any trouble while metro doesn’t do anything about people not paying and usually are the ones causing a problem
I haven't paid to ride in years. I'll pay once they start enforcing security. If I ever get cited I'll tell the judge the same thing.
I thought there were safety ambassadors on the metro stations?? What happened??
You wanna build barriers instead of addressing the real problem last i check a barrier never stopped a motivated criminal
Crime is up, it is not counted or reported.
God bless the poor victim and her family. Such a pointless act
I drove for Metro-Transit for 23 years. These events are not uncommon!
rip to the lady just trying to get home from work 💔 arm yourselfs people crazy out here
Every station should have security
Bus drivers and train operators should stop working until the city does something
That probably will come soon!!
Why does the mayor suck
Get out of California period!!! Los Angeles is like a third wheel country total dump.
This is just sad. sad.sad. sad.
Heart breaking. Californians should be allowed to conceal carry in public so that they can defend themselves
Now a days if you want to stay safe … keep the law in your own hands .., forget being a victim
Now they will need airport screening security to enter. How sad.
⚫
Can the peoples of LA have street justice instead
One thing about The Californians is that they walk around very oblivious. I really don't get it! 😂 I see certain types of people walking and tackling the air and waving at the air and fighting things that we don't see and getting aggressive like they're talking to somebody and we don't see who they're talking to. That puts me on alert! But for most California they just go right on walking with the earpods on. I mean I don't get it! This is what happens when you are not aware of what's around you!
It’s always a problem. I’ve been assaulted on metro anywhere from 25-30 times.
I’ve gotten used to fighting because of all that. It’s very dangerous because of the homeless population too.
The Board of the MTA, the Board of Country Supervisors, City Council and the Mayor should all ride the system for an entire month to work and see what everyone else see. Then they might finally do something.
Fully wnclosed barriers aint finna do nothing for no one
I can’t believe he started with
“If convicted”. Wtf
Sheriff Villanueva is always right.
He tried to clean up the corruption but they got in the way
Omg & Very, Very SAD My PRAYERS To ALL!!😢
If this keeps up then it is not recommend to use public transportation. It’s not worth saving a few bucks for gas.
How about fare enforcement?
Keep criminals in Jail? Da Thats How!
So sad prayers to the family 🙏🏾🫶🏽we have to stay safe out here especially with the Homeless
It was really really really painful for him when Gascon said there was no bail. He told his staff this was the last one for the year.
Was it this bad in the 80's and 90's but we simply didn't realize it without Social Media?
Lawlessness
Safety concerns on subways have been always present... you know what isnt present ? Law enforcement
The man committed acts of violence at the same spot multiple times in the past. Yet Cascone says the tech was unexpected
Most aren't reported.
What a tragedy and my prayers goes out to her family and friends and this shouldn't never happen if this monster shouldn't keeps getting out of jail and put him underneath damn jail
Oh my! And here I am, thinking that I would like to visit the USA as a tourist... 😢 So scary
They need to arrest the DA gascon. That guy is the real criminal.
He protected criminals , not hard working folks like us
??????? Listen to what she says . Metro is pushing to put bearers between the driver and passengers ? OK, so what ? What about the passengers?
Everything I see these videos there more a joke to me. Safety first and only for employees, and even then, that doesn't work that way either ?
If these people were vetted before they intered the US, because this individual is not an american maybe we would have a safe country.
A friend of mine from college was attacked the same way coming out of the same metro station; it’s not the first time!!
If they’re not going to have police officers patrolling the trains they should at least have cameras everywhere.
We must defend our own😮
Start putting police in public transportation already!!!!
Let BLM take care of this. Because we’re tired being attacked by this people
Blocks again
Stop all Violence Stop the Violence we don't need it Everrrrr
Excellent example of universal health care and BLM
I guess we need more safety ambassadors
That’s a JOKE
A new law should be named after her
So let’s just protect the bus drivers
the ones that when you ask to help you with a 5150 transient all they do is ignore the riders and keep driving and letting these transients on the bus / metro and or don’t stop the bus for regular people to get on but will stop for a homeless to get in I won’t be using metro obviously they don’t care and won’t ever care for the riders
has gascon let him out yet?
0bamaville always a no go zone
I was on the train with a crazy guy bothering people and getting into peoples faces at 2am one time, no police around and no cell phone service.... i stop riding it after that.
That is not true next week he’s going back at stret
Bring back the Straight Jacket patrol ! 😳
They are talking like this is new.
Olympic games spectators will be fools to come to LA
Where is Pete Bootyjudge?
The government is always too slow to respond appropriately to issues. This type of problem has been a concern of mine since I was riding the bus as an emotionally unstable person myself back in the 90's. I don't understand why they don't already have a barrier. It's almost like setting the drivers up to be attacked when you know people are going to be crazy.
One cop fired at the suspect with bean bags and the other cop fired with bullets. Now, that's strange. This goes to show that there is something wrong with the training cops receive in the police academy.
I told you about gascon but no one listened…
How ironic (and hypocritical) of District Attorney Gason to say "this never should have happened", when HIS policies were likely to have been the reason this murderer was out on the streets continuing to attack people. Vote him out in November!
EVEN IN San Diego, it is getting CRAZY!!! About 2 weeks ago, a passenger TRIED TO STEAL one of the drivers bags that had his wallet in it!!! Luckily, the driver caught the passenger in time and got his stuff back!! But we have REAL THUGS doing CRAZY stuff on the city buses these days!! EVEN the druvers are getting FEARFUL these days!!
The city NEEDS to start PAYING these drivers MORE MONEY!!! Because they are CAUGHT in a DANGEROUS JOB these days sadly!!
recall Gascon!!!!!
All those criminals those judges left go back Roads
1980: The year 2000 will be so advanced with a better public transportation system and less crime.
2024: Hi nice to meet you.
Never take public transportation in California. Not worth risking your life.
Get all those homeless junkies out of the trains and stations and the police officers should stop just hanging out in groups chitchatting or on their phone doing nothing to keep commuters safe.
I agree
I Will be taking Lyft from now on Public transportation are super dangerous now
used always use caution around the trans , there dangerous
Typical Gascon constantly keeps setting violent repeat offender free until it's too late and something terrible happens.. Except if they break into the mayor Bass house of course then he actually does his job for a change.......what a disgrace...
Obviously its always the usual suspects. 🙄 Killed a woman, who was a immigrant, has a job, unlike him. 🙄
Always the 13%!
