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?
Money (public) to infrastructure goes directly to union contractors, where the unions launder it and send the dem politicians their cut.
NEVER let a crisis go to waste.
Something is being covered up it seems.
Has this been up on FR? http://conservativerefocus.com/blogs/blog5.php/2015/05/13/fbi-bulletin-of-five-days
‘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.
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.
This has nothing to do with infrastructure. It was operator error. Going into a curve at twice the maximum speed limit for that curve, regardless of the mode of transportation, will spell disaster.
Speed has to be purposeful...even drunk or high wouldn’t lead to such speed. Why is the engineer ID a secret?
Muslim?
“The dead had yet to be confirmed, the injured were still trapped in smashed train cars, but partisans steering the news narrative griped about “infrastructure” and lectured about “funding.””
Unreal, but keep in mind that they NEED to keep the discussion off of High Speed Rail, as those projects are just starting up and are easy to scuttle at this phase. Kind of like how they got the media to ignore the fact that early generation air bags were decapitating dozens of kids per year...at least until the debate over whether cars should even have air bags did down.
But this quote reminds me of a black dude I once worked with. Really nice guy, but he once got pulled over and got a ticket, and he told us that he knows why he was profiled...I asked him how fast - 82 in a 65. I explained to him that even whites get profiled when they do that.
Is a dead AP reporter truly a loss worth discussing?
Since the engineer was a black fag, it’s unlikely he was a Republican.
Unless it’s a “Bruce Jenner” Republican.
The press and commentators have always had hearts of stone. That’s kind of the job. When something happens they need to talk about it, spin it in their preferred direction, and angle it for their agenda. And, honestly, this story is doing the exact same thing, taking how the story was covered by others and using that to push his agenda.
Nearly 3,000 dead, 11,000 wounded on 9/1 and the democrats blamed the republicans and America before the fires were put out. They knew it was clinton and themselves and the muslims but they went ahead anyways and blamed others.
