Chris Rufo has been trying to get Los Angeles Metro to release videos of recent crimes on the transit system, but they refuse to do it.
He did, however, obtain this video of a man who dragged a woman out of the train and raped her right on the platform.
They blur out the rapey parts:
Rufo writes, “EXCLUSIVE: The Los Angeles Metro is refusing to release videos of recent crimes on the transit system. But we’ve obtained footage of a man dragging a woman off the train and raping her—a horrific crime. This is what LA authorities don’t want you to see.”
Absolutely horrific. The public has a right to know what kind of crimes are happening on their public transportation system and when and where they are happening.
In his writeup called “L.A. Metro Is a Crime-Ridden Hellscape”, Rufo says:
The city’s buses have become rolling homeless shelters, replete with drugs and feces. Its trains are home to murder and mayhem. As Daquan, a daily rider who works near the North Hollywood station told us, “You could kill somebody down there and just get away with it.”
The transformation has been swift and stark. Between 2020 and 2025, crime in the system more than doubled. What drove the change? L.A. Metro’s dedication to creating an equitable transit system, where all Angelenos—drug-addicted, homicidal maniacs included—can effectively ride free, without consequences.
