Nice going, dude. Why don't you get with the guys and have a drunk camping weekend like everybody else?

Brux said he estimated he was going 60 mph for about 15 minutes before plowing through switch 1. He told deputies he did not know where he was headed and that he wanted to make Rail Link pay, the affidavit says.

Another one of those, “sounds like a good idea until you think about it.”

How do you steal a train, and get away with it? Or how do you steal a train and escape being captured eventually???? Did he think anything through???

[Opinionated Blowhard]

He probably got the idea from that old Wilford Brimley movie:

"He stated that he was having a bad day"

Understatement of the day.

In the early 80s a fired employee or Kerr McGee came out of a bar at 2 am jumped into the D9 dozer he used to run and started cruising around the streets of Gillette Wyoming. He ran over cars, hit house s and dropped the rippers and tore IP the streets ( Campbell county )
I swear its something in the water

He went thataway.

How do you know?

I see his tracks.

Yeah, dude’s not too bright. I’m from Wyoming. Messing with the railroad is like messing with the ships down at Bath Iron Works. Not smart. In the maritime industry, there’s the charge of Hazarding a Vessel. I would expect that the railroad industry has something similar since it’s possible to seriously endanger the public.

They’re saying that this guy is facing “possible” federal charges? You can pretty much count on it. And when he gets out of prison, he’ll be paying restitution for a long time (basically house payments but you’ve got nothing to show for it when you’re done).

The guy sounds like an imbecile, how did he get the job in the first place?

[Lx]

He got mad and said was not an Apple fan and smashed the phone for something to do.

But not before he called them gay.

The guy sounds like an imbecile, how did he get the job in the first place?

Maybe the union has an imbecile hiring quota, or maybe he's someone's unemployable nephew, or something.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Who knows? Maybe his dad works there. Being Wyoming, he’s lucky he didn’t get shot. No joke, there are still places where people with rifles patrol the water ditches. If you’re caught messing with the valves, you’ll get some frontier justice and the cops didn’t see nuthin’.

"“I wanted to see what it was like to hit something, so I hit at it,” Brux said"

[Eva]

It sounds like a union grievance to me.

Homer Simpson Award candidate.

[To Hell With Poverty]

Possible not-a-ping?

[Lazamataz]

Plus he was drunk, so there’s DUI right there.

[bgill]

Sort of hard to slip away from the cops in a train.

[CaptainPhilFan]

Thanks for that! Hysterical, and sooooo true!
Well, not for all of them, but for my youngest daughter, at least..... sigh...
