Reading the story I was surprised trains still go through there.

If it weren't for the injuries to the passengers on the train, I'd say there's no downside to this story. Frankly it incorporates all the elments, starting with MLK Drive, youths, gun play, justice served up by Casey Jones … gee whiz, a perfect storm. Just beautiful!

Nearly fifty years ago, I worked a few blocks from there, before the city really started going to hell. I am surprised that there is now a wooded area near 5th and Missouri. Nature must be reclaiming the place.
To: blueplum
These crimes are so out of control and on such a different level. It sounds like total chaos, total lawlessness.

There’s just a whole lot of stupid going on there.
If several people on the train were injured by the collision, I can’t imagine they escaped with minor injuries, although it is possible.
If they are seriously injured, if they don’t go to the hospital, then their chances of making it drop. If they go to the hospital, they will be caught.
It’s quite a Catch 22 for them.
Go and get caught, or not go and die.

The mass shooting occurred on the 500 block of Martin Luther King Drive I was worried it might be some of our cousins.
