Criminals Can't Read Signs

Doesn't this mean anything????

We guess not:

• An armed man fired a shot during a robbery attempt aboard a Green Line train last week, prosecutors said.

  The victim, a 26-year-old man from Ohio, was riding the train southbound near 47th Street when 19-year-old Marquise Smith approached him around 1:15 a.m. on May 28, prosecutors said.

  “Do you want to die?” Smith allegedly asked the victim, who immediately moved to the other end of the train car. But officials said Smith pulled out a handgun and pushed him from one end of the car to the other while trying to take his camera at gunpoint.

  The victim crossed between cars while the train was moving and then blocked Smith by closing the door behind him and using his body weight to hold the door shut, prosecutors said. Smith, standing between the two train cars, allegedly fired a shot into the air, and the victim quickly activated the train’s emergency signal, alerting the train operator.

We're just going to say it - if you ride the CTA without a means of self defense, you're soft. 

It's obvious no one is checking the criminals, so why would you worry about being checked?
