Anybody really surprised? I'm not. Too many worthless pieces of shit hanging out on that stretch of 7th at night, that metro stop is by far the most poorly designed in the system, it was only a matter of time before a huge fight engulfs the entire stop. Where are you going to run to? Nowhere. I'm glad DDOT is making an effort to reduce the congestion and improve pedestrian traffic near the VC, but until they take care of the juvenile criminal element hanging out on 7th, this will surely happen again.

so who won?

[walkonby]

just how do you take care of juveniles raised by juveniles who hang with and think like juveniles?  you know, when there are too many deer or bear or mountain lions in one area . . . they kill them to thin out the herds.

Were they fighting over the ridiculous fare hike I've heard about? Because, if that's the case, duh.

I'm still wondering how 70 people can be involved in a "brawl" and yet only three arrests made? Why does this not compute?

[DeathFromAbove1979]

This brawl sounds lame, now was it in the train? How did it spill over 2 stops? 3 stops? Unless I misread something. 70 person brawl and only 7 people were taken to the hospital? I think there are bigger fights at Bonnaroo.

How is there no camera phone footage of this yet?

The first thing that came to mind was "cheesy 80s movie."

Blazing Saddles is not a cheesy movie.
