Goths Hounded Off Bus

[skyblue]

its all about what they look like.......didn't the teddy boys get it in the 50's......didn't the original punks get it in the 70's?......haven't skinheads had it?....looks people,looks.......so yes......its a form of discrimination

I agree... but from what the article said... they would have been allowed on the bus if the lead was only in his hand... but it was the fact that it was attached to her neck. Not the smartest thing IMO.. a sudden stop potentially could have broke her neck :dunno


If it was just about their appearance, then they are wrong. But if it truly was about her safety, then they had every right to request that the lead be removed from her collar. But we will never know what the true intention was.........

:homo: yeah

Dog leash goths 'hounded off bus'

That's what you call keeping a tight hold on your property...umm...stuff.

This is why I'm interested in the response from people who were against the woman reading the Bible aloud in a previous thread on the bus, what's the difference?

because what the goths did, wouldn't effect anyone else..

I find it funny they claim a safety issue, while on buses there are no seat belts..

I think they are very interesting but i have to believe they knew
what the majority of peoples actions and feeling would be like
its not like they didnt know and sure she could have gotten hurt
but im sure they didnt get put off the bus for that
ive seen stuff like that before and the majority of people dont like it
and its exile
i think she looks sexy but i think i would save it for indoors

:homo:

Oh yeah, I would venture a guess they fruity well knew they were going to create a commotion.

See potential "broken neck" with sudden jerk.

Exactly. Also I have seen people carry things onto a bus that can potentially do a lot more damage then a dog leash.

a risk to others? thats BS.. a risk to herself maybe but thats her choice... I see no difference between that and wearing a necklace.

I'm thinking it would just yank her off her feet .. she'd have to be attached to something (or holding on to like a pole or something stable; trying to not be moved) for it to even come close to breaking her neck .. I yank the shit out of my dogs neck when she won't stop .. never broken her neck either .. have yanked her back a few inches tho.

I guess the question should be asked. Was it really an unreasonable request to ask them to detach the leash? It isn't like it had some kind of religious significance.

 

[SRC]

If someone didn't like the belt you had on .. would you remove it if they asked you to in order to get on a bus/plane/train?

 

[gLing]

Probably not.

 

[SRC]

well there you go .. they didn't want to remove their "accessories" either.
