Come out here to L.A. Metro is Under the Microscope, you've had 2 Murders, a Passenger who was on a Visa here in L.A. & was Killed by a Nobody on the 108 Bus in the City of Commerce Last Week, a 66 Year Old Woman was Stabbed in the Throat & Died for her Purse at 5:30 in the Morning at the Metro B Line Station at Universal City Last Month by a Crazy Homeless Person who should have Been in Prison, Countless Stabbings Towards Bus Operators & Passengers caused by Mentally Ill Homeless & Drug Users & Metro took a Blind Eye, the Mayor of L.A. Finally Admitted that Metro isn't Safe, the Cops & Sheriff's & Security are Stepping up Enforcement on Busses, Trains & Stations, Like Dallas its a Jungle out here with Crime on Both DART & L.A. Metro, as well as other Major Cities around the Countey with its Transit Systems.😡
