Amtrak engineer a homosexual and therefore protected by the American media?

The engineer of the death train was a homosexual and a gay activist who “liked several LGBTI pages on Facebook,” a gay news site. “The engineer who was involved in Tuesday night’s Amtrak train crash is Brandon Bostian,” says gaystarnews.com. Interesting now is how the media are equivocating and blaming those old meanies, the Republicans. One site commenter to the outing of this 32 year old engineer says, “the fact is a gay activist is untouchable in the main stream media. Once his sexual preference came out, the story started changing and the blame will go towards needing more money in the transportation industry. We shall never know the truth because the media is a failure!”

Incredible is the comment of another poster on the gay site who says Amtrak received a whopping $1.3 BILLION dollars in the 2009 stimulus fund give-away of our taxpayer dollars. This huge amount is ON TOP of the one BILLION dollar subsidy it receives every year. How come Amtrak in 2012 had the money to launch an expensive gay PRIDE advertising campaign, but somehow it could not have found the money for the smart technology the liberal media fools now are saying the white elephant needs?

Consider the following advertisement campaign Amtrak ran on its website. “This summer Amtrak Ride With Pride hosted a contest to send four lucky winners on a getaway PRIDE week-end via the train. Winners headed to Chicago, New York, San Francisco, New Orleans for a fun-filled week-end. Couples enjoyed the comfortable seats, had cocktails in the Lounge car, and arrived at the Amtrak stations refreshed and ready to enjoy the festivities.” A happy color photo of Aaron and Marc provided a warm and fuzzy shot of the affectionate couple being thrilled by riding the rails. Other happy travelers...

My guess is that if the engineer was black, the media wouldn't mention it.

Now if he was a white conservative Christian, we would be hearing that every hour on the hour.

Frankly, I don't care about his private life unless it had some bearing on his state of mind — i.e. was he suicidal? But nothing has really been proven yet and I wish the media would just shaddup until and unless all the facts are known.

What has that to do with anything?

Homosexuals are mentally ill. Do we want the mentally ill in positions where they are responsible for large numbers of lives?

[fwdude]

That you so casually use the term “gay” as if it has a legitimate meaning says a lot about you.

[fatima]

Do you have a link for that.Thanks

[fwdude]

you did NOT hear from the mainstream media that he is an activist homosexual and a disgusting cyber-exhibitionist.

If I’m wrong, show me where.

[A CA Guy]

I agree, they are mentally ill but don’t usually take out the whole train, bus or plane they are conducting.

[unixfox]

This shouldn’t even come up.

But if he had been a member of the Tea Party...

[JimRed]

He qualifies for lethal injection, in my mind.

Since he is homosexual, he will eventually get that lethal injection of AIDS virus.

Yup. Even the NY Slimes went this route about the rock. It’s a freakin’ rock against a steel behemoth. Unless it was a boulder, stop insulting our intelligence.

And if the lib media found out the conductor was a Republican, we won;t hear the end of it so why are we so lenient about the fag?

You naively believe that all the facts will be made known. We are in a different milieu, where facts are filtered and crafted to fit a narrative. That's a horrific charge to make, but it's completely true.

[fatnotlazy]

That’s why I put in the word “unless.” :)

[greene66]

No doubt in my mind that the media will do everything it can to protect, whitewash, and misdirect, whenever a homo activist or pro-homo organization is suspect in contributing to a crime or a malfeasance or a disaster.

[erlayman]

Actually I did. I think I first saw that he was a gay marriage activist in the New York Times profile.

[GreenHornet]

This shouldn’t even come up.

But if he had been a member of the Tea Party...

Very true. After the shooting spree in the theater in Aurora, Colorado by a man named James Holmes, ABC News' Brian Ross remarked that a local man with the same name was a member of the Tea Party, and wondered on the air if it could be the same person.

I think it has more to do with Amtrak is union and a big government recipient.

[Leep]

Brandon’s homoness IS the distraction for said Union/Big Gov.

Here is an image which clearly depicts severe impact to the top right side of the engine body. Other images on the Net show scraping all along the entire right side of the engine, from one end to the other.

The image shows significant right side impact, just to the right side and above the window area.

The impact caved in the upper right side of the corner area of the roof area.

This impact and resulting deforming of the upper engine right side roof area could have easily shattered the window.

It's also notable is the center left of the window depicts what appears to be a near perfectly round hole.

The “Amtrak needs more money” drums were banging from the earliest of wreck reports.

[DownInFlames]

I’m a thinking his partner busted up w him and he was doing a self ending Casey jones.

“Did getting hit with a rock cause the train to accelerate to over 100mph? I’d like to see someone explain how that can happen.”

That is not outside the realm of possibilities.

However, I’m sure any degree of causation between the rock and the train’s acceleration will be investigated.

And they need to find the punk kids who threw the rock and charge them with murder and terroristic act, if the rock had any cause in the crash.
