Well, just because the article doesn't indicate she wasn't told not to doesn't mean she wasn't told not to. But you have to wonder what all went down before the woman was arrested — maybe there was some kind of language barrier, but there must be an international gesture for "Don't eat animal crackers here."

The article seems to indicate she was never told not to.

Of course this action was excessive...BUT,do you know if she was asked not to eat on the bus and refused? Perhaps this was a last resort of the Metro Police? I can also understand that something must have been done,or else the person with the Pizza or Hamburger when asked not to eat on the Bus would just have to claim others can eat on the Bus,why not them? It is not funny to have to sit on spilled coke or ketchup. This something so minor that could grow into a major problem later if not enforced now. "Couldn't sleep to two nights" ?? Really,come on now..do I smell a Lawsuit in the works? Ray
