guy (white) in an altered state gets on the train talking to himself and crying but really not harming anything, keeping it to himself, not even that loud. someone calls security anyhow because of course they do. security gets on the train and immediately tells a different guy (not white) to get off the train. train is delayed by ten minutes because the second guy rightfully sticks up for himself and refuses. finally convinces security that it must have been the guy *right next to him, still crying and talking to himself* that the complaint was about. security decides that guy is fine and can stay. good job RTD, you're disappointing as always.

oh my god if i see the Mr. Rogers quote about what to do in times of crisis one more time... that is advice for children. not adults. if you are an adult, do not look for the helpers. be one.
