A Cleveland man has been arrested by police for allegedly trying to cause trains in the city to derail by jamming metal into tracks and rail lines.
Joseph Findley, 43, has been arrested by the FBI on federal terrorist charges following a string of alleged attacks against railroad carriers on October 6.
He is accused of placing railroad spikes onto the path of oncoming trains and wedging pieces of metal into a rail switch.
During a test run for a CSX employee appreciation day, one train hit an obstruction on the track and temporarily derailed before the wheels dropped back into place.

“His mother, Mary Findley told FOX8: ‘He’s never been a bad kid, never, he was always good. He’s no terrorist; somebody is making that up.’”
A white dindunuffin.
When asked about her son’s behavior on the tracks, she responded: ‘[He’s been] depressed because he lost his job, he lost his girlfriend, but he never did anything like that.
‘They’re nuts, he’s not a terrorist. I think they all exaggerated it because he never did anything bad.’

So if you’re depressed, you can try to derail trains?
Mannnn that’s meffed up!
The guy definitely isn’t thinking things through.
He and his folks live near the tracks and he is going to derail a train carrying who knows what kind of hazardous materials that might kill you in seconds.
This country is full of real nasty people these days.
This should be a capital offense

Cleveland city of light, city of magic.
A coal train derailed over I25 in Pueblo Colorado wrecking many cars of a coal train and caved in he rail overpass on a truck killing the driver. Coal was on both sides of I25 and the road was shut down.
“...one train hit an obstruction on the track and temporarily derailed before the wheels dropped back into place.”
He’s obviously a low-tier terrorist. ;)
His mom is part of the problem. “Not my Son. He’s always been a good boy!”
“Ted Bundy does not go around killing women and little children!” she told The News Tribune in 1980 after Ted Bundy was convicted in the Florida killings. “And I know this, too, that our never-ending faith in Ted — our faith that he is innocent — has never wavered. And it never will.” ~ Louise Bundy (Ted Bundy’s mother)
