Here's an excerpt from Josh's online Friendster blog in his words detailing the incident:

"I felt like I was 5 again, with bullies pushing me around and it was making me upset. I remember struggling, yelling "THIS IS MY STOP!" a lot of times, and they restrained me, laughing. I tried to break free, but I couldn't; I looked for some type of emergency call button but I couldn't see one, and I was at the back of the car, too far from the door. These people that were holding me asked me for something, I assume my money since my wallet and checkbook are missing now, and I said "NO!". The last thing I clearly remember on the train is a hand grabbing the back of my head." "My next string of memories are very wet and strange. I'm waking up on my side, and start crawling on the ground, trying to make my phone work; there's cars passing by but noone is stopping; I'm screaming and crying and I think I've lost most of my teeth. I keep spitting out and vomiting out blood. I'm trying vainly not to make a mess. I can't stand up. A small part inside of me keeps telling me that I won't die out here; I just have to keep moving... just keep going and you'll end up safe, I had to argue with me that I wasn't going to die."  To read the rest of his blog, click here.

Incidents like this happen daily, and in most cases little to nothing is done about it around the country. The security on the LA Metro system is virtually non-existent ever since budget cuts have dictated that the LA Sheriff's Department patrol the subway. Why was the camera on the train only closed circuit? Why did the driver not notice my brother left on the train? Why is there no active search for who did this, and why isn't someone looking for evidence on the security cameras on the train platforms?
