The engineer fled the crash. The train was going 106 mph into a 50 mph curve. What was he doing at the time? The fact that he is gay shouldn’t mean anything: conservatives need to leave that aside.

I would ask where Amtrak’s hiring practices went wrong. Why couldn’t they hire someone who knew that going 106 miles an hour was dangerous?

We’ll leave that aside and ask what was his mental state? What was his level of training? Were there more qualified, mature, and responsible people who could have been hired?

Money (public) to infrastructure goes directly to union contractors, where the unions launder it and send the dem politicians their cut.

What if it turns out that it did have something to do with it? I’m not saying it did, since we know next to nothing yet.

Wow I wasn’t aware he fled the crash. I agree it is not whether he is gay or not, but what was he doing at that precise moment or planning to do. I pray he was not attempting suicide.

It should be addressed at the inquiry into what caused the accident (although it probably won't be). The state-of-mind of a principal involved in a transportation accident is always relevant to the investigation.

I just want another country where people like this can say all the stupid crap they want but can't affect policy.

“The fact that he is gay shouldn’t mean anything: conservatives need to leave that aside.”

Yes, it does come as a factor. He was a homo activist which is far worse than a regular fag. No man leaves an accident.

Was he an affirmative action hire? Why should mentally ill people be put in such responsible positions. He should not have been hired in this highly sought-after dream job when there is a sea of more qualified people.

‘Crumbling infrastructure’?????

Where the hell did all the BILLIONS go that was taxed from us for Obama’s 2009 “Community Reinvestment Act”?????? Those BILLIONS were supposed to go ‘fix’ stuff they now claim we need more funds to fix.

The meme is that anyone who disagrees with government spending and refuses to be taxed more and have their wealth redistributed is an ‘enemy’ of the people.

Totalitarian regimes and genocides are borne from everything we now see going on around us in this country.

The engineer probably was subjected to “New” math in school.

Leftists have no hearts. Just a pump to drive their insatiable desire to be tyrants.

They did the same thing in MN when a bridge collapsed. This is SOP for scum like them.
