remind me what happened with Roe v Wade or the Civil Rights act

Not very often, but this is the second one in about 10 years on that stretch of rails in Waterbury.

Boy, you sure told off that dead mentally ill person. So brave!

oh i got one of those too, now i have a better guess why!

Shut the fuck up, lol.

Have some decency

Are you just asking a question or are you saying that things like people getting hit by a train happen often in Waterbury?

Yeah - I'm used to hearing the train here and there, but it sure seemed weird. I actually commented to my friends something along the lines of, "what the hell? Is there a car on the tracks or something?"

I wish it was just an empty car.

This tragedy isn’t making you angry, your narrow perspective is making you angry. Maybe you should unpack whatever past trauma you’ve experienced and learn to have some compassion.

Oh god- I was home and heard it and wondered what was going on. I feel so horrible for everyone involved

I see that you did there...

Michigan expat living in vermont. Marquette’s lake is vastly superior.

Rode a commuter train in a different state for many years and became friendly with the conductors and engineers. Discussing it with them after being a passenger on one of those trains, it was alarming to find out how common it was for trains to hit people. Tragic because the engineers are usually powerless to do anything about it because they typically cannot stop the train in time.

Well… only Marquette has a claim to having been the film location for a Jimmy Stewart movie.

I mean… basic decency doesn’t mean shit when you are mentally ill to the point of a violent suicide. Yeah, obviously it’s awful for the conductor but you’re pretty much victim blaming someone who may or may not have had the mental capacity to rationalize how it would affect others. You can have empathy for both victims.

I didn’t say it did but could you have some empathy and realize this person was in a mental state that probably wouldn’t allow those thoughts. I mean the operator is alive but this person got hit by a fucking train. On purpose. Who the fuck does that!

Doesn’t excuse the lack of basic decency to others.

Doesn’t excuse the responsibility to have basic decency to other humans.

I’m so so sorry for your loss. That’s horrible.

We don't want to be. We need SOMETHING to keep our economy turning, and sadly, tourism was the easiest option for investors to get behind. Hopefully we can pull ourselves out of neolib investor hell and spearhead our own path with a real fucking economy.

It’s immoral to use someone else to kill you.

What's the biggest deterrent to the drug epidemic exactly?

Eh, yeah its not a good way to kill yourself, but should we really be making this a moral Olympic sport? Like what are we gonna say? Judges rate it 4.4 do better next time??

If this is unconstitutional, then the constitution is wrong.

It would be very unchristian of us to get rid of men in dresses. Jesus may have called it robe, but we can always tell.
