FReepers I know it's an old story but I called it. I said after that thug was run over by the FedEx truck that they would do a train next.

They did it. A moving train too.

I'm shocked no one was ran over.

Feral sub-human animals that should’ve been put down on the spot.

In China, they’d be shot. In the Arab countries, their hands chopped off. In this country we disband police, give the stations to the “oppressed”, create holidays celebrating diversity, stand down while watching the dreams of the small business owners go up in flames, and kneel to the a-holes. I never thought I’d see this here. It might just be too late to fix it.

Sad.

IIRC there is a large Metra ( Metropolitan Rail) Police station right there at Grand and Western ave yards???

“The Metra Police Department is a professional force of more than 100 sworn officers who are responsible for the security of Metra passengers, employees, equipment, yards, stations and other Metra property. Metra Police handle a variety of tasks ranging from civilian complaints to criminal activity.

They must be working from home because of the virus going around?

“Due to Cook County’s orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic, no arrests were made.”

Thank G_d for that. Yes, sarcasm.

If a smartphone can have a tracker in order to recover a stolen or lost item, why not a TV, which can cost just about the same as an iPhone or some other high-end phone.

Feds could get involved, too, as it’s an interstate shipment.

I’ve talked with railroad police who mention there’s a fairly steep incline leaving the Los Angeles area, that thieves routinely bust off the locks and raid the containers when the trains slow to 5-10 mph.

That video is racist. It is cleverly edited so as not show the white people who were also looting.

“They did it. A moving train too. “

The reason automobiles are shipped in enclosed (caged) rail cars is because, otherwise, the cars would arrive at their destinations stripped of salable parts. (Wheels, hubcaps, batteries and even engine parts.) This was accomplished by boarding the rail cars on slow curves, then tossing parts off parts at designated areas and then getting off on another slow curve.
