2 women in 2 weeks have been abducted and brutalized from MARTA stations in Atlanta. There's no reason to be alarmed. MARTA is a very safe and Atlanta is still a very friendly city.

You're obviously not a journalism major. What you wrote is like saying:


3 people just died from Mad Cow disease after eating McDonald's burgers in Cincinnati. McDonald's restaurants in Cincinnati are very safe and use the best and safest meat known to man. Eat there as often as you can!

Trying to put a good spin on a potentially dangerous situation. Actually what I'm saying is, even though 2 women have been abducted from MARTA stations in the last 2 weeks (see www.ajc.com for proof), this in itself is no real cause for alarm.

Of course it's reason for alarm, unless of course, you're not a woman. Then don't bother.

I suggest checking out a website on urban legends before spreading this all over a travel board.

What about men dressed up as women? Are they safe?

To mm:

Go to the ajc.com website and type MARTA under search. It will bring up the article from yesterdays paper.

No urban legends here, just the facts.

Why'd you bother to post this, if you don't consider it a problem. Doesn't make any sense to alarm us and then say that there's no reason to be alarmed.

These were separate events both perps have been arrested. It's not a serial criminal so all women should continue to be alert just like always.

First event was 56 yo who was raped. 2nd was 24 yo woman kidnapped and put in trunk. Rescued by strangers at convenience store aho heard her tapping on the trunk.


This kind of news is in every paper in every big city.

and children are abducted in broad daylight. There can be crime anywhere. Just be cautious.
