A man is seen in custody aboard an Amtrak train following a stabbing incident in Niles, Michigan December …









(Reuters) - Police took a suspect into custody in Michigan on Friday after four people were stabbed aboard an Amtrak passenger train in the town of Niles, police and Amtrak officials said.
None of the victims was killed, a dispatcher for the Niles Police Department said. Authorities declined to provide any immediate details about the circumstances of the stabbing or the condition of the victims.
Niles, a town of about 12,000 people, is about 10 miles (16 km) north of South Bend, Indiana, near the southeastern shore of Lake Michigan.
Amtrak said the incident took place on Train 364, the Blue Water line, which runs between Chicago and Port Huron, Michigan, while the train was at the station in Niles. It said 172 passengers were aboard at the time.
The company gave no details of the incident, but said in a statement a person was in custody and that the Amtrak Police Department was assisting in the investigation.
The Chicago Sun Times newspaper quoted a Twitter user who said four people were stabbed in the rail car next to his and who uploaded a photograph of a man in a gray jacket lying in handcuffs on the floor of the train.
"Crazy world we live in. Some man just stabbed 4 people one car away from me on the train," said the user, @Chris_Maynard.
Amtrak said the company was working to arrange alternate transportation for the passengers.

comment ... I was wondering why no labels of race were placed on the perpetrator and victims...then I saw the photo and all was explained. The media is too chicken $#@& to say "an armed black man attacked four unarmed white people" because were now in an age where every black person gets a free pass "in the media" for committing crimes against whites. God forbid it's the other way around, though...then we get: rioting, destruction, cries of racism and a hundred years of oppression...and best of Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan!

As long as the media is not accountable for presenting everything in a balanced way, they will create the story in the best way possible for ratings (or clicks) as they can care less about the impacts of their reporting or stoking the flames of racism if it brings in more dollars. I wonder how much better race relations would be today without the media propaganda?

Effective self-defense is not allowed on Amtrak:

No guns, no TASERs, no pepper spray, no knives. They want you helpless against Groids / Dindus.

Just don't get caught, or else, they'll have an Amtrak SWAT team at the next major station, just for you:

What about Greyhound? My kid will be traveling through groid infested areas this season, were going to get him some pepper spray. Perhaps we should limit it to small cans of wasp spray?

At the very least get him an unbreakable self defense umbrella and teach him the various ways of fucking someone up with it.

ASP batons are compact/concealable and excellent for beating the living shit out of a varmint. (they flick open in a fraction of a second, almost all cops carry an ASP on their Batman belt)

All "prohibited." Carry it but don't get caught.

Sadly, Greyhound is worse than Amtrak for lunatics. Almost all released felons and lunatics from asylums are transported on Greyhound back to their home areas.

A mystery meat lunatic beheaded and started munching on a fellow passenger Zombie-style on a Greyhound in Canada:

Not all freaks ride the bus, but when a freak wants to go someplace, he rides the bus.

Next time you take the train or bus bring your pit bull service dog.
