The recent horrific Towson crime wave is not going to make the area more amenable to public transit.

Yeah those light rail cars really need to stop murdering people

I never understood these arguments. Yes those were horrible crimes and we should have police patrols on foot. But did the suspects enter and escape using public transit? Because if not, then it would be irrelevant right? People can come in and out of Towson, it is not the method of transportation that is the problem.

It is unknown how they arrived as least according to the news reports, but at least some of them have city addresses. Voting against more connections with the city is what the response will be.

So then we should ban cars to be able to go in and leave the city since that's the most common transportation method?

Man, criminals up there are so forward thinking - down here they all use cars.
