Well no shit. When you don't punish criminals everything falls apart. Including your public transit system that no one wants to use unless they have to because they don't want to be stabbed (there have been at least 4 fatal stabbings on RTD over the last 6-8 months). Archive: https://archive.today/qPLfx From the post: >>Robert Pumphrey pulled his RTD bus into the Westminster public transit station earlier this month, got out and faced a belligerent man who head-butted Pumphrey and punched him in the face. An ambulance took Pumphrey, 68, to a hospital for treatment. His eye and the side of his face swollen, he was driving again three days later but wondered whether the attacker might return — “the first thing on my mind,” Pumphrey said during a break, ruling out retirement. “I’m a senior citizen. But in this day and age, you’ve got to keep working to make a living.”
