This guy isn't talking about kids, he is talking about infants. Infants can't be marketed to. The only way a kid under 2 is going to drink a Coke is if you give it to them. But clearly this stuff is happening, when we go to the playground there are plenty of kids with guts that would put a 50 year old man to shame. I'm guessing they're not driving to the store and buying that junk with their own money, so there's a parent or guardian enabling it somewhere. There's a strong correlation with this behavior and the attitude that healthcare should be administered and paid for by the goverment. They are stunted adults with children. They don't want to make informed or mature decisions, they want someone else to tell them what to do. So ultimately it can be someone else's fault if things don't work out. And they want someone else to pay for it.

We must conceal the truth.

The transit system that serves San Francisco is under fire for refusing to release video from surveillance cameras that captured several recent train attacks by gangs of young black riders.

Assault, robbery and rape are up 41 percent over last year on the vast train system known as BART, or Bay Area Rapid Transit.But several recent attacks by gangs of young men has the agency under public scrutiny. One victim is suing to warn riders of the risk they face when riding BART.

"Approximately 30 of them invaded our car. They beat and robbed a number of individuals," said Rusty Stapp, who was returning home with his wife and 19-year-old daughter. "They jumped on me, and began kicking me in the ribs. The individuals (police) saw on video were repeat offenders. They knew who they were. They had them in the system."

Yet BART refused to release the video, claiming several of the alleged gang members might be under 18.

"Especially when (a crime) is involving juveniles as these last two incidents have, the police department makes the determination that there is not a public interest in sending all that information out," said BART spokesman Taylor Huckaby.

But Debora Allen, one of nine BART directors, said the agency is concealing the real reason – putting political correctness over public safety.

"They want to withhold the video release for fear of creating racial stereotyping," Allen told us last week.

She cited a July 7, 2017, internal memo to BART directors. The agency said it would not issue a press release on a similar mob attack in June because it would "paint an inaccurate picture of the BART system as crime ridden."

It would also "unfairly affect and characterize riders of color, leading to sweeping generalizations in media reports and a high level of racially insensitive commentary," the memo said.

Allen questioned BART Assistant General Manager Kerry Hamill about that explanation, saying "I don't understand what role the color of one's skin plays in this issue. Can you explain?"

Hamill responded that members of the media only wanted to sensationalize the story and were only interested in “ratings” and “clicks.”

"If we were to regularly feed the news media video of crimes on our system that involve minority suspects, particularly when they are minors, we would certainly face questions as to why we were sensationalizing relatively minor crimes and perpetuating false stereotypes in the process,” said.

Allen told Fox News she was disappointed to read the memo.

“Race should play no role,” she said. “With respect to the video, I think it is important for the riding public to see some of the ways people steal and assault people on the trains."

Stapp appeared last week before the BART board to complain.

"I think if you were truly committed to (public safety) there would be a lot more interaction with the public, like making the video available of these incidents," Stapp said.

Stapp is seeking to sue BART for $3 million for gross negligence.

"It's the closest I've ever been to feeling like I might die," he told Fox News.

Paul Justi, Stapp's attorney, said BART should release the surveillance videos.

Others said there is a fine line between privacy and protecting the public.

"We have a lot of videos in this district" admitted Board Director Joel Keller. "There is this balance between privacy and openness."

A decision on releasing crime video is expected next month.

BART issues would resolve spontaneously if the following was reversed:
Possession of automatic firearms, and of short-barreled shotguns and rifles, is generally prohibited. California is a "may issue" state for permits to carry concealed guns. The willingness of issuing authorities in California ranges from No Issue in most urban areas to Shall Issue in rural counties.

Anyone else Remember NYC had the volunteer Guardians which helped protect subway riders in the 70s and early 80s?

"lived a little" Lol. Like filing complaints about a repair bill...

[Pitts] was charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder and two firearm offenses in connection with two separate shooting incidents on March 24, 1987, Detroit Recorder’s Court records say.

According to transcripts, Pitts was involved in a shootout with the owner of a collision shop and auto clinic on Greenfield in Detroit in a dispute over a repair bill.

Unfortunately, I read this. This allows us to glimpse at the thought process and shows us just how worthless people that think like this are.

Who looks at the path of an eclipse and decides a viewing racial angle is necessary?
