Metrorail rager
I've had just about enough of the crackdowns, the candy bar arrests, the paratroopers with huge guns menacing people on the Red Line. It's time to take Metro back for the riders.
I think we need a train party, like the ones they have in London.
Of course, it won't be easy. The whole no food or drink thing could be hard to pull off. I suggest flasks and backpacks that can be hiddden in stations. You'd need a battery-powered boombox, and who has those anymore?
More on this later, when I don't have so much work to do.

They also had a couple in NY. I was advocating that to my housemates, but they seemed to think it a poor idea. Also, I think we'd need to have it on one of the last trains of the night, but in order to do that we'd have to be coming into the city so we wouldn't be stuck with a $30 cab ride home.
Also, how many people do you think would have to be involved in order for Metro police not to make arrests.

Paratroopers? Wow, I haven't seen those. I saw shotgun-toting policemen, but only on the money train.
