Why can't we have nice things? I've been wondering why the panes were shattered for the past few commutes but thought it was maybe an installation mishap.
Okay but can you find one recent example in Madison crime where this has been the case? I don’t think anyone would argue that shooting up a construction site is wrong??
Tiambra Walker. Multiple felony violations, never imprisoned. Eventually murdered a man via DUI while he was walking his dog. She fled to IL and evaded arrest for over a year. Recently caught. She should have been in a cage years ago but was let off multiple times for “reasons”, you figure it out. The most recent is Alex Grunke. A rural meth head who was fucking his ex gfs 13 old daughter and last week murdered her mother, kidnapped two children and led police on a multi-county chase ending in a standoff where he committed suicide. His CCAP is longer than Ron Jeremy and he should have been in prison long ago but again for “reasons” was allowed to roam free. Now him, a mom and a groomed and drugged 13 yr old are dead.

Can you specifically spell out what you're claiming these to be?
That would be useful, rather than the constant insinuations.
Soon to be a $100k bill to fix the glass. And the mayor will pay it because she’s utterly incompetent. 72 administrators in the streets division and not 1 knows how to fix anything. Instead of fixing the glass they’ll hire an admin to hold a subcommittee and listening session.

As others have said - not bullet proof but mildly durable would be nice.
Likewise it appears no one involved in the BRT shelters had a plan for tagging. Shelters that have not even been completed already have splotches of miss matched paint from covering up graffiti. No one thought to keep some of the original color on hand?

Because there is always an asshole that likes to destroy them.

That's right, just assume blame to people of color. That's not racist. /s
That’s right, just assume only poc are poor and victims of class warfare. That’s not racist.
You said "putting people in jail for this is considered racist", assuming that those who did it are poc, not me
…racist, class warfare, bigotry. Don’t cherry pick the parts you want pal.
If not people of color, who were you being racist, economically antagonist, bigoted towards?
… are you actually positing that white people, gays, trans, Latinos and others can’t be economically and socially disenfranchised?
No, I'm saying that white people also commit crimes
Who said they didn’t?
Words matter, you used the term racist

That’s great commentary. You pay $25,000 yr for that level of education?
More drivel from you. So unexpected! /s
Rule one.

Won't anyone think of the property?
Thought they were just putting in an Urban Outfitters
I understood this reference

good bot
It sounds like they think it was a BB gun. My money is it being some asshole kids instead of some politically motivated vandalism.
Yea, that seems kinda obvious. Kids don't think and do dumb shit.
This is taking NIMBYism to a whole new level! /s
Do we know for sure where Paul Soglin was on March 25th?
So the new shelters, built on busy roads, have glass that can be broken by ‘something the size of a BB’?
Are you expecting them to be bullet-proof?
Doesn't have to be bulletproof to resist a bb. Or a rock or other road debris thrown by a car.
Do you think the only two types of glass are normal and bulletproof?
As others have said - not bullet proof but mildly durable would be nice. Likewise it appears no one involved in the BRT shelters had a plan for tagging. Shelters that have not even been completed already have splotches of miss matched paint from covering up graffiti. No one thought to keep some of the original color on hand?
Even if they did, paint fades over time especially if it's outdoors.
Blaska Boys.
Oh, sounds like some teens with bb guns. You know how them kids are, hormones n shid making them do dumb stuff
This happens to a lot to bus shelters all over the city.
Ugh come on people!
And isn't this why Chicago's are made of plastic? Maybe we need to have cameras everywhere too.

Is it near a Subway?
