What has that to do with anything?

Nothing at all. Yet the media keep reporting DNC talking points to keep from even mentioning the fault of the driver in this derailment.

The latest one is that there have been reports that "something" struck the windshield of the train before derailing.

Really? The highly dangerous acceleration and excessive speed of the train heading into a sharp'ish turn has less to do with the derailment than something hitting the windshield?

The news yesterday was the train was still ACCELERATING, not braking as had been reported earlier. The conflicting and thin evidence seems to point to the engineer.

It IS disgusting that Amtrak spends our tax support money on ads to attract homosexual riders. The ad is thick with sexual innuendo, too: “Couples enjoyed the comfortable seats, arrived refreshed and ready to enjoy the [homo] festivities.”

Your tax dollars at work (regardless of the cause of the crash).

We just don’t know at this point.

Same reason it was wrong to drag George Zimmerman through the mud—or the Cambridge cops before Barry’s ‘beer summit’.

The guy went to pains to post online detailed concerns about lax safety standards and practices with Amtrak, it has been reported that his cell was off and stowed in his bag according to protocol, and he suffered a concussion in the wreck.

It is beyond ugly how Freepers pile on trashing him online without knowing that he was at fault. So he was gay? So he advocated gay marriage? Does that really mean we should be subhuman in attacking him?
