Your sexism is part of the problem in our society.
She might have a shank, you don't know. You gonna bet you life that she doesn't?
There are things worth dieing for, but protecting some little brat that's too stupid to stay out of jail isn't one of them.
What the hell dude? Did you just call the girl who got beat up a brat? That is seriously why I can't stand conservatives, just because someone is in their teens does not make them brats or stupid. We all were young once.
Your feeble analysis just became part of the problem in this thread. This has nothing to do with sexism at all unless you can indicate where I stated females should be held to a different standard.
Go ahead, I will wait for your answer before wasting time answering the rest of this drivel.
Your use of the term "man" implies that these are male qualities, when in fact they have nothing to do with being a man.
Even if you think a brave female can be a "real man" you are implying that being a "man" is something to aspire to. When in reality it only means you have gonads.
why would this be your first question?Hmmm....are they union?

My guess is that they are useless......
They have everything to do with being a man. Male and man do not always equate just like female and woman aren't necessarily the same either.
In this case, these security guards happened to be males but they were not men.

Hmm let me check my dictionary:
There it is. Your sexist views are obsolete. I suggest you re-examine your chauvinistic values.
Hmmm....are they union?
That did not answer the first point in my post. All you did is just announce that you have a total inability to understand nuance in language. :lol:
It's easy to say that when you're not the one that might get your ass kicked some mean, greasy as convict.
I don't much blame these dudes, I wouldn't risk my life for minimum wage, either.
Read the dictionary. It explains the difference between male and man. A man is an adult male. It has no requirements for courage or bravery, or sexual proclivity, or the ability to drink large quantities of beer and belch loudly.

BULL****!
They took the damn job, they were obligated to DO the damn job.
If they didn't like the job, they should have quit.
All three of them should be sued for everything they own, including their skid-marked underwear, and if there's a criminal charge available, they should be tried in court.
What's the point of having security guards, if they're not going to provide security for anybody? In Vancouver the public transit system has it's own full fledged police force. Employing so-called security guards and not having them protect anybody is unacceptable.
Hello?
What crime did the victim commit?
Denotation and Connotation
Learn to love it.
So again, all you've done is announce your lack of ability to understand nuance in language.
You don't know what you are talking about. The original article states that they were hired to "observe and report" and told not to interfere. They were doing their job. You contradict your own opinion with your first statement.
Again, I understand your meaning and object to your sexist choice of words.
No, they were hired to do a job.
If they hire on a "security guards" and allow children to be viciously beaten in front of them, then they need to lay their detachable dicks on the rails to see how flat the trains make them.
