Oh?
What?
The Marines are busy?
*sigh*
Ok, We’ll settle for the Guardian Angels I guess :-/
I saw this story on WJLA news this morning, and it is also reported by the local Fox station. The Guradian Angels will be patrolling the green line three nights a week in effort to thwart the misbehaving antics of the teens we love to hate. The move comes in the wake of the 70 person brawl that occured last Friday night at Gallery Place Chinatown and L’Enfant Plaza Metro Stations.
In addition to this new batch of enforecement, Metro Transit Police has announced new tactics to cope with the bad apples within the system. According to MTP’s Deputy Chief, “when we are dispersing groups of rowdy kids we will follow them to make sure they get to their destination safely. We will do a better job this weekend.” Oh yeah? Really? Who believes this is feasible? The presence of Metro Transit Police is pretty diluted as is. Am I to believe they have the resources to execute this objective? It looks good in the newspaper though…I guess
