Not surprising, some lefties happy and joking about it. All the while they pretend to be morally superior. Showing their hypocrisy again and again.
Poor little snowflake has been TRIGGERED!

I'm sorry Ackmed, what was that high horse you were on again? Or is brandonbull now a lefty?

The jokes do write themselves, but should be avoided since the driver of the truck was killed. Seems to be in poor taste overall.

I think you missed the point. Since I've been label a Trump and GOP supporter, I'm expected to make stupid comments and be racist. The Left has claimed the moral high ground and therefore are not allowed to make tasteless jokes and belittle people because that's what the right does. My experience seems to tell me that is true until a Lefty meets someone that doesn't hold the exact same political, religious, and ideological views and then it's game on.

I don't understand why in the modern age there are ever any train accidents. Trains would seem to be the easiest form of transportation to monitor and automate. How hard or expensive would it be to replace engineers with computers and send a drone ahead of a train to monitor that the tracks are clear. It would save lives and protect property...and probably cost less than todays antiquated methods.

The only response I've ever heard to this suggestion is: "The Unions will never let this happen"...I have to believe that a better solution will eventually be adopted, but how many accidents do we have to suffer through, before we make the change.

It's too early to talk about train control.
PTC wouldn't of helped them with a truck disobeying the crossing guards. At least it didn't intrude into the cabin. Just think what could've happened if the container had lifted up impacting the windshield.

Who is taking contributions from Amtrak? We need to know who was bought off and enabled this.

Not if the truck pulled in front of it.

None of that would prevent people from driving in front of the train at the last minute.

So, uhh, we should automate everything to create jobs, or what?

Stating fact is being on a high horse? I don't know if brandonbull is repub of dem. I also said, "some lefties", meaning not all. Its pretty clear that you are intentionally trying to twist my words around. Which is not that uncommon around here.

What I said was factual, sorry you don't like it. Politician attacked in his own yard? Some lefties say karma. People burned to death by wildfires? Some lefties say karma. Some people drowned? Some people say karma. Politician shot during a softball game? Some lefties say karma. Accidental shooting in a republican dominated state? Some say karma. Train wreck, some lefties say karma. Lefties being happy about it, gloating about it, saying that they deserve it.

Every time there is something bad that happens to a perceived repub/conservative, some lefties are very happy about it. Say they deserve it, say its karma, glorify it. Even deaths. Even when people burn to death or drown. This was again the case today. The comment I was talking about, was posted in this thread too. "God is working hard today to clean up the stink". CNN talking head said that. People who make such comments on tragedies that I have outlined are fellow politicians, celebrities, college professors, the MSM, people on these very forums, to name a few. All the while the narrative is that conservatives are "deplorable". The left likes to try to take the moral high ground. Yet comments that take excitement and glee in harm or death of conservatives is just a-ok. That is the hypocrisy that I was speaking to. I spoke to just a few examples. there are many more.

If you want specifics on people here, jstorm is one. As seen in this very thread, and many others. Always talking down to people he thinks are republicans, conservatives, or anyone of that nature. Acting like he is morally superior. All the while making comments that are extremely derogatory, racists, bigoted, sexual, etc. He is a huge hypocrite. Saying things on here that he would never say irl. Big words for a little man behind a monitor.

At least you admit that the comments were made in poor taste, good on you for that. It doesn't matter if one thinks that they write themselves. Someone just died. People just got hurt. Being happy about that, making jokes about that, is pretty pathetic. I am not naive enough to think that only lefties do this, righties do as well. Neither is ok. By my observation far more lefties do it. Probably because celebs, MSM, these forums, etc have far more lefties than righties.

so each one has a car that processes insects into human food and another on the end that houses the slaves that brick the insect meal into food pellets?
Referencing that movie borders on a hate crime, and I think I liked it as much as anyone could.

I genuinely hope they're okay, but let's face it -- it's hard to ignore the Trump Train metaphor here.

Really? Though you may have said this before you realized there was a fatality and innocent families whatever their affiliations will be affected.

God wasn’t happy with the gop. Everyone, let’s pray the gop away.

Go ahead and see how that works. Not everyone believes in God or a God, including right wingers.

Does anyone else see the...irony that the GOP train hit a garbage truck?

I hope we should all be able to have a good laugh should something like that happen to you; or this: http://ktla.com/2015/10/30/person-a...eway-sign-following-griffith-park-area-crash/

Plenty of jokes to make about that one too. The difference is the guy was being an idiot, and certainly caused an inconvenience to many others because of it. I had to deal with that twice this week. I honestly wish idiots that cause huge traffic jams could be but in jail for 30 days if they were at fault.

Given that it was Republicans heading to a Republican retreat... no.

As it stands, I'm less enthused with harping on the metaphoric side of this given that at least one person died.

Thank you for being respectful. Imagine that poor guys family and friends. Yes I realize I quoted you above. I am glad to see you aren't a horrible person and are human.

Not surprising, some lefties happy and joking about it. All the while they pretend to be morally superior. Showing their hypocrisy again and again.

And if it were the other way around I'm sure there would be jokes in poor taste. Maybe not in this forum, I would hope, but certainly in others.


I wonder why the men in the truck weren't able to escape before being hit. At most crossings that I have seen you would have a good amount of warning. It shouldn't take long at all to jump out of a vehicle and run. Not that I want to put any blame on the victims. If nothing else, it's a reminder to never take a day for granted. You may not live through the day.
