Portland Misunderstood Context?

Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Sat, Jun 23 at 9:22 AM

The comments I posted here last week—from the TriMet Operators’ Yahoo! Group (which isn’t operated by TriMet)—were just noticed by those in the email group. And—not surprisingly—they aren’t happy that their embarrassing public comments about the 14-year-old lesbians kicked off a bus on June 8 have found a wider audience.

It’s here, along with lots of comments (which some here may find offensive). And it’s all in the public record now.

One person says I “misunderstand the context of which was said.” Head to the post and see for yourself, or, better yet, join the Yahoo! group and see the entire exchange (I posted most of it—all but a few irrelevant asides). It’s open to any TriMet enthusiast, after all.

Comments

When the angry bigoted people get caught, they SPIN, BABY, SPIN!

Heh. "Context". Right.

Just something a little beneath me to add, but I can't resist. If anyone checks-out that Yahoo Group, notice that one driver is asking whether she should get their school bus driver fired for not allowing her son to get his backback off of the bus. Although her "brothers" are not supportive of the idea, I don't see any threats against her either.
