The "Gay activist" part enters into things when we have a sudden rush of supportive articles in the New York Times implying that the disaster was caused by GOP funding cuts for safety and cute little articles talking about the engineer "loving trains since he was little". It's part of a pattern of gays protecting each other at any cost.
Now, we suddenly "discover" that the train might have been hit by a rock - which would have had zero effect on the train, other than a dent somewhere.
Given the sudden rush to suppress/obfuscate/divert it would be reasonable to suspect that there's much more to this mess than we know and it's salient that engineer had a mental problem.
It still would be better to work through all of those things without mentioning the sexual deviations of the engineer.
here’s the problem: A lot of people who have no idea what happened are claiming they know what happened.
Good point.
What is being "suppress/obfuscate/divert"....?
I think it's now common knowledge this guy was a homosexual...
As for having mental issues, if he does, he as well as he superiors will get tossed under the train so fast, their head will spin...
They might actually want to use that as an explanation for his behavior since if he is mentally fit and he caused the accident by error, he's going to prison for negligent homicide ...
Not buying it. The Amtrak funding cuts articles would have come fast and furious as it was, and we don’t at this point know what effect a strike on the train—as apparently there were on two other trains in the same area in the same week—could have had in this case.
We just don’t know enough. But there’s no reason to expect that the guy being gay had anything to do with the crash and there’s no indication that it is relevant to the story at all.
