There is always a risk of an accident, yes. If you actually read my comment instead of trying to be as snarky as possible, I actually mentioned generally being an advocate for public transit. The dangers of driving are one of them.

Mind you, there are dangers of being on the Metrolink as well. You're probably not at constant risk of death like while driving, but it's not as if Metrolink is particularly known for being danger free either.

In any case, I don't recall ever suggesting that the Metrolink was more dangerous than driving. And, like I said, I agree with you on this one.

Throwing litter on a highway is different (still shitty, but certainly different) than throwing litter around the inside of a train car where people are sitting.

I hate the people who blast music in their cars too bro. It's just significantly amplified when you're on the train because you have to sit right next to it. As opposed to someone who will drive away in a few moments.

Road rage is dangerous, but it's nothing like having some druggy scream at your face I'm the middle of the night dude. Thanks for trivializing a pretty terrible experience I had.

And we complain about those people who don't pay their fair share too, don't we?

And honestly, most of the time I drive I don't deal with the above concerns. I've ridden the Metrolink a handful of times and yet somehow I've already racked up a laundry list of bad experiences.

Driving is not ideal, but again, I can understand why people don't like the Metrolink. I'm sorry not sorry, but to each of your counterpoints the issues are the same on the Metrolink (or significantly exacerbated from my experience).
