By adamg on Wed, 08/19/2015 - 12:14pm
Transit Police report they are looking for a trio in connection with an attack just outside the Sullivan Square Orange Line stop with injuries around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Police have released photos of the two men and one woman. A spokesman says:
We are investigating an Assault, possibly sexual in nature, and are seeking the public’s assistance in the ID of 3 persons of interest. The incident took place on MBTA property near the Sullivan Sq. T station but NOT in the subway station.
If they look familiar, contact Transit Police detectives at 617-222-1050 or send an anonymous text tip to 873873.

C'mon man,
not even flip flops? Anyone who'd walk around Sullivan Square station barefoot is de facto mentally unstable.
whatever happened to....
no shirt, no shoes, no service
barefoot
I just can't get past that he was barefoot on the T... ewwwwwww
Yes, The Poor Dog's Feet Could Get Filthy!
glass is a bigger hazard
Dog's feet could get cut up.
That dog looks like one thats
That dog looks like one thats with the gutterpunk dudes in Harvard
The cover certainly matches
The cover certainly matches my judgment of the book in this instance.
Starting to think it might be
Starting to think it might be them, the white guy with dreds is very familiar

"We are investigating an Assault, possibly sexual in nature, and are seeking the public’s assistance in the ID of 3 persons of interest. The incident took place on MBTA property near the Sullivan Sq. T station but NOT in the subway station"
Actually is this related to the assault that occured by the river the other night? If so that's another tick that it could very well be them.
No idea if you are right
Actually, you may very well be right - have you contacted the authorities?
I may have or may have not
I may have or may have not anonymously submitted a tip.
Yeah, I'd sit beside him on the train....
That's the kind of guy that makes you move to the next car. Or the next train.
Or drive a car
because this is also the face of the public in public transportation.
Go away!
Just go away, (7-letter invective,, starting with "a" deleted)!
Right
Because assholes in cars never attack other drivers or road users, either.
Its too hot and I'm too lazy to embellish that with a link for every word.
You are simply a horrible excuse for a human
Is your mother proud of who you've become?
Just reminding you why some people rather drive
than take public transportation. How is that in ANY way horrible? Because it doesn't conform to your anti-car political agenda?
Own your hatred
Stop playing cute, it doesn't become you. You post some hateful or prejudiced thing, go ahead and own it.
Not cute. Very straightforward.
Moxie sarcastically stated he would not want to sit near the man and dog you pictured.
I then stated that is why some people choose to drive instead of taking public transportation. With public transportation people don't get to choose who else gets to be in the train with them unlike with their private vehicle.
That's all there is to it. No cuteness here. No hate. Its a very simple point people are trying to make much more of.
The comment you deleted about the cyclist not respecting when a woman gives him a red light to sexual advances, yes, that one was very cute but another situation. I own that. Its not the case here, however.
No.
You said that this was the "face" of public transportation. That's like taking some drunk driving asshole and saying that he is the "face" of people who drive. It is your right to be a foolish, ignorant, fearful jerk but Adam said--just own it.
I wrote "ALSO the face"
meaning not the one face, but one of the faces among the more washed and kempt, just as impaired and distracted drivers are out there in the mix too Sorry if that was misunderstood.

S
I'm sorry.
Mark has a point. The MBTA does have a lot of folks you might call 'characters'. Older people are afraid of them, some iPad engaged are clueless, some folks just sit there manspreading, staring ahead until they get too bad, then make eye contact.
I've seen it once or twice.
Once or twice
!= "face of the MBTA"
When once or twice
is a serious enough situation, wouldn't it make you think twice about what way you choose to get to work (provided you have the choice?)
My girlfriend and I were on the Orange Line on a night out a few weeks ago and some guy wearing an extremely long (down to his knees) shirt, unzipped himself and started to go at it. I confronted him, and was, "dude, stop, just stop, what are you doing?"
He got crazy agitated, talked about "doing time" and how he "hasn't been out long enough," and was generally a punk ass MF when I called him out for, you know, playing with himself on a train *full* of people.
I'm not afraid to take the T, but I get that taking the T is not appealing to people because they might have a chance encounter with one of these generously characterized, "characters."
True but...
I wouldn't say this is typical, right? I mean--after a lifetime riding the T I have dozens of stories but nothing more or less than I have about being out in public. The people you encounter while walking through the Common or on Centre Street are the same ones you see on the T. And I have plenty of driving stories too--the difference is that the wackos I occasionally meet on the T aren't doing anything life-threatening (well usually...) like drag-racing through traffic or applying mascara while driving.
All to say...if it were that bad, you might as well just stay inside, or in your basement in Arlington--know what I mean?
Of course it's not typical.
But, the T does add the added bonus of actually being confined in close quarters with some lovely people.
Maybe the threat to my safety is more dire, but I'd rather someone be applying their make up next to me on the highway than someone doing unsavory things three feet away from me on the T.
To be clear, I do ride the T whenever it is more convenient, I just really don't get the pouncing on Markk in this case.
Huh? Dont know mark but think
Huh? Dont know mark but think you are all making a todo about nothing. The "face" comment is accurate- when you take the t you are taking the gamble that you will run into people like this (unkempt, unstable, violent, anti-social behavior -dog and no shoes, no shirt - all against t rules and offensive to fellow riders)
Oh horrors
You might get immigrant germs, too.
Some people would rather
Some people would rather drive than have a chance encounter with someone such as the disrespectful misfit pictured in this story. Swirly i know you are just agitating. I personally carry handi wipes and make sure not to touch door knobs and such with My bare hands as my granny taught me. Now this sort of thing is promoted as being health conscious and respectful to your fellow public (keep your germs to yourself type if thing). I take the t i am just mindful . And i steer clear if anyone from whom i get the willies - called self preservation.
Adam you are the one always
Adam you are the one always siding with the thugs and protecting them but not letting people use that word. You are confused and constantly contradict yourself.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Question for Anon
Do you go over to the houses of random people and say things like that?
I don't care
I don't care
Outstanding!
These upstarts need to be reminded every time about basic site decorum.
As for Markkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, I just ignore every hairball he coughs up while substituting with Gary Numan.

It's perfect.
*some people = a lot of
*some people = a lot of people! Especially in the summer. Truth hurts.
I drive a car on MA roads, I ride the T, and I read
Universal Hub. There's a stubborn contingent of assholes on all of them, but they are mercifully a small fraction of the whole. I've learned to accept their presence -- even the ones that seem to take pride in being the Face of the Asshole Franchise -- avoid them where I can, and move on with my life, rather than saying, "Feh, I'm giving up on that."
I wish you would drive full speed into a brick wall
Mr Kerpan, did you mean to say 'asshole'?
I meant NOT ...
... to write it -- but I suppose I _thought_ it.
But I wouldn't aim a death wish at anything less than homicidal maniacs.
This is why I uber. It's
This is why I uber. It's actually cheaper to uber with a few friends and have them pitch in than to ride this filth factory for a couple bucks each.

They want their fare back.
"Filth factory" - you're probably just way too young to know.
I don't know about the filth factor. I definitely cringe at
the amount of trash left behind by riders on the MBTA, and hate the smell of the fast food that a few people choose to eat while riding public transportation. But I managed to get from the South End to a Cambridge restaurant and back last night on a combination of buses and subway cars while wearing white pants without getting besmirched, and nobody in range of my nose was horfing down McD's or cheap Chinese food.
Rude behavior is a much bigger problem than filth, but in my experience, the vast majority of T riders aren't more noticeably rude than the mean of the populace in any other sphere of public life in Boston. City living: it's not for everyone.
