July 27th, 2007 Pink Line Rumble
7/27/07 WB Pink Line train. I am riding to the end of the line to get to the SuperTarget in west suburban Broadview. It is a peaceful, pleasant ride that I am enjoying. I am sitting on the left side with the rays of the sun shining down on me, and on the right side, virtually across from me is a teen boy. Two guys, one another teen, the other looking to be in his early 20s, board the train at California. They look at the teen boy sitting across from me and call him names. He flashes a gang sign at them and then they jump him and a fight breaks out between all three guys! Me and three other passengers jump off the train at Central Park as the fight continues. Train departs the station and the fight still persists.
Ironically, two weeks before this happened, I had a dream in which someone tried to bust open sliding doors because of a fight. The doors of the cars on the Pink Line slide, a fight occurred on the Pink Line, and frightened passengers tried to pry open the nearest doors before the train came to a complete stop at Central Park. That happened after we all spot something shiny in the second teen's pants pocket. I could not tell if it was a gun or a knife. I wasn't going to stick around to tell what it was and neither were any of the other innocent passengers.
