Loud talker booted off train

Lakeysha Beard boarded a 16 hour train ride in Oakland, California. Lakeysha was talk on her phone the entire time she was on the train even after people complained. The passenger refused to put down her phone, until conductors stopped the train in Salem where the police had to get involved. Lakeysha says she felt disrespected and was accused of disorderly conduct after they said she got into a verbal altercation with another passenger. Also Amtrak (the train Beard was on) doesn't allow cellphones in the quiet cars, which was the car Beard was riding.

I feel like what she did was somewhat ridiculous. Who really is on their phone for 16 hours straight, who could possible have that much to talk about? If you are on a train you have to be at least a little bit considerate of the people around you. I mean i am a believe in the ways of treating others the way I would like to be treated and it irritates me when people are so oblivious and selfish to only think of themselves in a situation such as this.
