You would think that the trains are sneaking into peoples homes in the middle of the night and bludgeoning them to death.
and on same day 100 Americans were killed by car drivers.
Who the HELL rides these local trains?
So let me get this straight. When someone ignores lights and horns and goes around crossing gates it’s the trains fault when they get hit? Another piece of evidence this country has gone totally insane
Faster than a speeding locomotive? Nope. Sorrry, you lose. Game over.
There should be no debate about who is the blame for this particular death.
Put up level crossings like in Britain, a complete no go around gate.
Then, on Wednesday, bicyclist Jeffrey D. King, 51, was struck and killed at the Ocean Avenue crossing, just five blocks south of where Lavell died. The Boynton Beach man also was apparently trying to beat the train, according to police.
"Beat the Train" - a new fun way to identify and remove the members of the population who are too stupid to live.
When I lived in a small town outside the Chicago area that had a set of train tracks, one friend was a local police officer who said that in 25 years on the force, he walked the tracks about 30 times pointing out body parts to the guys with the little bags used to clean up this kind of mess. When the village wrote a law that imposed a $500 fine for crossing the tracks improperly, he had no problem writing the tickets and never let anybody get away with a warning.
Couldn't really blame him. In future years, none of the new victims had been issued a ticket before they tried to beat a train and lost. Maybe the $500 had something to do with it.

No, peoples' stupidity is killing people. In the battle of 150-pound human at 3 mph versus highballing passenger train at 20,000 tons and 80 mph, I can pretty accurately predict the winner every time.
Dagnabbit, these new-fangled inventions are dangerous.
Don’t play chicken with a train. You will lose.

White man’s iron horse....heap bad medicine.
“Dumb ways to die”
Excuse me for not grasping this, congresscritters.
The crossing gate goes down, the lights flash red, and there’s that bell sound at the crossing.
And it’s the railroad’s fault that people choose to ignore such warnings, which were indeed functioning at that time, and proceed to cross the tracks with the resulting consequences.
Oops, silly me! I forgot about the fundamental transformation that took place over eight years! Logic and reason are part of the white cisgender patriarchal oppression.
