RE: Cali trains.
Where the hell is the rail company? They knew what and where that crap happened. They should protect the freight.
Not long ago I saw a few articles/here and there about thugs ripping off trains in LA I think, SoCal someplace, on a regular basis. I need to bring stuff to the thread when I see it.
They do it with no repercussions of course, because it’s CA, the state that has officially decriminalized crime. (that is, real crime by real criminals)
No one cares except maybe the insurance companies. But the loss is built into the premiums which are paid by the carrier and passed on to the shipper who's rates reflect the added cost and so on, down to the poor schmucks who buy the stuff at retail. Everyone involved is making a profit except the consumer.

Don't ask a cinder dick to put their life on the line if the local, state and fed gov "law/justice" system isn't going to back him/her up. There are Federal stautes up the wazoo about such things - think the interstate commerce thing that politicians use as a weapon - but no fedgov outcry on it.
There was a time that they would bust the head of somebody stealing from a train, haul the thief to the cops and that was that. Or they'd just find the remains of someone who got mangled in the commission of a robbery. Either way, there were consequences.
Now, let a 9 YO girl be in a museum without NY Nazi vax papers, and you'll find plenty of beefy policewomen to provide muscle and Roland Freisler legal wannabees to prosecute/persecute her. The girl should have been out stealing from 40' containers in the rail yard... like a good Democrat.
They have their own rail police force but if they are ineffective, they should hire some ex special forces guys to take out the criminal element. Make an example of those they catch if you catch my drift.
