BART Keeps Cell Service Despite Protests

Okian Warrior writes "After taking heat from the ACLU and being hacked by Anonymous for shutting down cellphone service to four stations last week, BART kept cell service on during Monday's protests. Officials at Bay Area Rapid Transit decided Monday that cutting cellphone service to thwart another planned protest would cause more trouble than the protests themselves. Instead, four stations were temporarily closed, creating a chaotic rush-hour commute."

BART really doesn't like dissenting voices

They'd rather shut down service than allow people to freely speak their mind...

This is clearly due to the BART police's influence on decision-making--it was originally a protest against violent police action, past and current.
