This is a bad deal for those injured but there is no reason to make more out of it than there is . . .

Too long for a tagline.

Dammit.

Naming various streets, roads, and drives after Martin Luther King has been an unintended public service.

“Carma …”

Is that a subset of JoMama?

No, it's that dancing lady with the fruit basket on her head; Carma Morango

Ten people on the train hurt in collision. Three occupants of car in collision self-extricated and hid in the woods.

Deep pockets?

...with the suspected gunman's car carrying crashing into a passing train... The three suspects then tried to flee the scene in their vehicle, but were struck by a passing train as they attempted to cross the train tracks...

Whoops. But clearly the railroads are part of the racist legacy. /s

I'm sure someone will *rail* against the use of trains.

I'll guess the perps never paid for tickets.

I wonder if the police will find anything that will *tie* them to the murders?

Okay, I'll stop now.

I’m still trying to get past this line...
“with the suspected gunman’s car carrying crashing into a passing train”

No doubt they’re Amish.
Both the shooters and the victims were Amish.
The police need to stand down in such instances.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

East St Louis, Missouri must be in the Mississippi River because the small city of East St. Louis is in Illinois.

“Do you think these guys know The Commodores?”

[MarMema]

East St Louis is in Illinois.
St. Louis is in Missouri.

This is a surprise. I've seen this scene hundreds of times in movies. The crooks always just barely get across before the train. Always.
