Bart takeover robbery

Well I guess I'm taking a Lyft back from the airport tonight. I wonder how these things are planned. Texting, WhatsApp? Sounds like it would be super hard to counter this kind of hit and run style take over.

Twitter, Facebook, Kik, Snapchat. Much easier for teens to organize en masse this way than texting, and afaik no American teen uses WhatsApp.

Concealed carry provides a possible solution. Worked against train bandits in the 1800s and this is not much different.

I don't think you'd have an easy time getting one in Alameda County...

I don't know - I'm better armed than most, but I don't think I'd want to shoot it out against 40 people in a train car.
