The criminal may not be grateful, but I bet the train driver is.

Kaepernick must be outraged. In Kaepernickland all cops sit on a bench and watch the guy get run over by a train.

It was fascinating to learn that if one drives trains for a living in metropolitan areas, one is almost assured of killing someone during his/her career.
I had no idea so many people were hopping in front of trains in our country!

“I bet the train driver is”
And the NTSB.
And the police.
And the insurance companies.
And the clean-up crews.

And every computer in the flow for hours behind!
I was on a commuter train and a train or two in front of us was involved in an accident.
We sat forever!
Many called for a cab to pick them up on a nearby surface street, The west side of Chicongo! Not a nice area!!!
It was in the winter, much safer than summer!

Is that a cone head? A hittite?
Obviously some form of minority.

I rode NJT/ConRail/Amtrak for years in the 70s/80s, from Princeton to north into NYC, and if anything stopped, the back-ups and delays were massive until they could get re-routing done. We’d usually just catch a southbound train and go home for the day.

Nah! In Kaepernickland, the cops pushed him onto the tracks for fun.
