Most of the incidents have involved people walking home from MBTA stations between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m., and were committed by men in their early 20s. [More]Man, the ol' Patriot Ledger is sure pushing that profiling envelope, aren't they?
And it's not like MBTA passengers stand much of a chance against muggers. Not being "Only Ones" n' all, who can carry more than a whistle...
It does seem their safety list is missing a few tips, you know, common sense stuff like they tell you to do in Illinois like:
1. Vomit
2. Surrender
3. Scream (while poking with "a rat tail comb")
4. Pull the covers over your head.
