Explain how a rock caused the train to go 107 in a 50-mile zone.

Kids throwing stuff at a train, but I doubt this is what caused the derailment.

This one is entirely on the guy driving the train in my opinion.

It’s a stretch,

We have so many soft bellies it is unbelievable.

Mostly due to the fact our government well not call a terrorist attack a terrorist attack.

My favorite is the way we’re calling Somali terrorists “Homegrown terrorists”.

Hmmmmm. If the much maligned PTC (Positive Train Control) system on the train, assumed to be not functional on this section of track, were to be hacked.......... It can INCREASE the speed, as well as decrease it, you know.

Not to worry. If this was somehow caused by a terrorist attack, it will be shoved down the rabbit hole so quick, most will never near anything else about it.

Our Soft Underbelly

Though I doubt this train derailment was an act of terror...

We do have a serious exposed underbelly...

The border...

How hard would it be for a terrorist organization to place a dozen suicide bombers in a dozen different mall food courts at noon Saturday across the country ...thousands would die...

We are wasting trillions of dollars on Homeland security when securing the border would prevent much of whatever any terrorist organization throws at us...

Unfortunately, it's going to take a nuke going off in LA, Houston, or any other major city with 100,000 + deaths for our spineless, craven, insipid, gutless Congress to actually do something...

Sure, ISIS used their Jedi mind powers to trick that Einstein at the controls to travel at 106 MPH in a 50 MPH zone, happens all the time!

Homeland Security is doing exactly what it was designed to do , keeping tabs on Conversitivites, Conservative Organizations, Christians, and legitimate gun owners. It was sold to the public on the premise that it would make them feel "secure".

So it’s now OK to mention possible terrorism

IF

It will take the heat away from the gay activist conductor.

Got it!
