Riding the BUS LINE
You always see Tri-Met MAX (drama) stories on the local news stations or read about it in the newspaper but I looked all afternoon and all night on all three news channels and nothing was said about the drama that unfolded on Tri-Met bus #9, Monday July 14, 2008 between 1:00 p.m. - 1:40 p.m. in the area of 174th and Powell. The #9 Bus stopped to pick up some passengers and a young man sporting a mohawk and carrying a uni-cycle tried putting his uni-cycle on the bike rake in front of the bus. The uni-cycle wouldn't stay on the bike rake so the bus driver told the young man to bring his uni-cycle onto the bus.
WHO KNOWS WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE YOUNG MANS HEAD......
I'm not condoning, or making excuses, maybe he was off his medication, more than likely he was just tripping on meth but....the young man with the mohawk SPUN OUT and pulled a meat cleaver and a baseball bat out of his backpack and put the meat cleaver to the bus drivers throat. As to what happened afterwards I don't know. My friend was on the second #9 Tri-Met Bus called in to pick-up the passengers from the Tri-Met Bus the MAD MOHAWK MAN was on. But Police from Oregon City, Gladstone, as well as Portland Police responded. As they were going further down Powell towards Portland he said he saw a Black SUV with lights on the dashboard and the Portland Transit Police. If anyone else saw this or knows what happened please eleborate. I would like to hear the rest of this story too. I'm not trying to dog on Tri-Met but I'm tired of hearing all the MAX drama stories out there yes Tri-Met MAX is dangerous as is the Bus lines but so is sending your child out to buy ice cream cones from the ice cream man. Society today is just plain crazy and we all need to be on RED ALERT and to teach our children that. I'm sick of this I DIDN'T THINK THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD "come on" CRIDDLERS DON'T DISCRIMINATE....For those that don't know in METH LANGUAGE Criddlers are like meth cockroaches that come out at night when we are all asleep and steal everything in sight hence: Criddling
