Racist cops at it again. This child was trying to swat a fly that was going to suck the blood out of those people.

Neither the Capitol Limited nor the Lake Shore Limited duck into Michigan. This was a Wolverine train out of Chicago to Detroit-Pontiac.

Per http://www.wsbt.com/news/local/breaking-police-respond-to-stabbing-at-amtrak-station-in-niles/30085188 the perp had a ticket from Chicago to Flint, so this train was the Blue Water (Chicago-Niles-East Landing-Flint-Port Huron), going no closer to Detroit than Flint.

Here's Amtrak's Michigan service...

Correction: East *Lansing*. I'm surprised its not called the Spartan (the three Wolverine round trips go through Ann Arbor)...

It used to be the Chicago-Toronto train, but the customs delays at Sarnia-Port Huron were so bad that the train was truncated permanently at Port Huron.

Have we heard anything more about this perpetrator and his motives?

Seems odd to have a guy just start stabbing people on the train at a train stop.

Obviously everyone on Freep understands what likely happened. I’d just like to see some media reporting on it.
