Police: 20-25 teens storm Georgia train, attack and steal from riders

The Associated Press reports that a group of 20 to 25 teens got a Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority train headed for Atlanta's airport late Saturday night and attacked a couple of riders.

One of the teenagers allegedly hit a rider in the face with an aluminum can and pushed him, stealing his wallet while another passenger was punched in the face.

The riders reportedly worked for Delta Air Lines and had been staying at a hotel near the airport at the time.

A MARTA official said that no arrests have been made in the case.

This is exactly why it would be nice if everyone was packing a gun

Bring a gun, PERFECT, that way instead of a missing wallet being the problem, there would be dead people. Brilliant.

No Crime = No Need for Guns! Hold your breath tillo that happens. The police cannot protect you from crime, they only write reports and investigate crime.

Exactly! If one of them would have had a gun, then there might have been a dead criminals. A missing wallet is a bigger problem than dead punks and thugs.

More than likely upon seeing a gun the punks and thugs would have ran away, and there would have been no crime

[Non Lethal Self Defense Weapons]

A gun may have prevented the robberies, but stray bullets can kill inocent people as well.

I prefer non lethal weapons like stun guns, etc.

No one was ever accidentally killed by a stray stun gun from half a block away.
