Man Arrested After Derailing Locomotive at High Speed Near USNS Mercy in Los Angeles
Gateway Pundit ^ | 4/1/20 | Kristinn Taylor

A man was arrested by federal authorities Wednesday morning in Los Angeles after he was detained Tuesday by local police for allegedly driving a train locomotive at full speed and derailing it by ramming it through barriers about 250 yards from where the USNS Mercy is docked for relief of hospitals in the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus crisis. The man was reportedly holding a lit flare in the train’s cabin. In interviews with law enforcement, the man allegedly made comments that he was suspicious about the Mercy and a possible government takeover. The Mercy was not harmed in the incident.

*******

The CHP officer who witnessed the crash reported seeing “the train smash into a concrete barrier at the end of the track, smash into a steel barrier, smash into a chain-link fence, slide through a parking lot, slide across another lot filled with gravel, and smash into a second chain-link fence,” according to the affidavit in support of the criminal complaint. When the CHP officer contacted Moreno, he made a series of spontaneous statements, including, “You only get this chance once. The whole world is watching. I had to. People don’t know what’s going on here. Now they will.”

Hmmm has someone been preaching about government takeover and loss of rights? Or claiming CV is a hoax or the flu or a deep state plot or a democrat plot or a chinese plot?

I can’t imagine why someone unstable went off the deep end.

intended to hit the ship, saying he thought it was "suspicious" and did not believe "the ship is what they say it's for.'"

Hoo boy!

I think he’s trying to set up an insanity defense.
