First I heard of this…
Summarize the points of the article, please: I won’t go to sites that use ransomware or force undetermined ad-content links on my browser.
This is what the article said.
The FBI says an armed 26-year-old Missouri man who breached a secured area to stop an Amtrak train in southwest Nebraska in October has links to a white supremacist group and expressed an interest in “killing black people,” according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.
Taylor Michael Wilson, of St. Charles, Missouri, is charged in U.S. District Court in Lincoln with terrorism attacks and other violence against railroad carriers and mass transportation systems.
In an affidavit attached to the criminal complaint, FBI Special Agent Monte Czaplewski said there was probable cause to believe that electronic devices possessed by Wilson and firearms owned by him “have been used for or obtained in anticipation of engaging in or planning to engage in criminal offenses against the United States.”
Just before 2 a.m. on Oct. 22, an assistant conductor felt the train braking, searched
How about revealing what the Website is first?
It’s just another online newspaper weblink like the first…and both are fairly harmless.
Reproducing the content or summarizing the content in too much detail is usually a copyright infringement, hence I use links to the original content.
I wasn’t asking for the latter, but would have been less work for you to paste the link than to type your response. Some of us have learned the hard way not to click on hyperlinked text.
The only references I saw earlier were the link in the original post and others from Faux News.
As one reader, I appreciate the time saved when posters put the information, by one means or another, directly in the posting. What I usually do is use the copy button with the mouse’s blue function to copy into MSword, then copy from MS word into the post. If I can, depending on whether or not I am at a wideband server and can access imgur, I add the photos as jpgs again using the mouse’s blue function and copy to place in one of my pictures files, then imgur to the posting.
It was in a local (suburban) newspaper.

The complaints about sourcing seem to be an odd attempt at distraction from the content. Most terrorism in the US is not by aliens.
Here’s a recent example of an unprovoked attack on a policeman by a member of a white supremacist gang:

This is likely true, but in this particular case it is difficult to figure out, except as emergent political expediency, how a nut tinkering with train brakes becomes a ‘terrorist’.
Reminds me a little about a comment, I almost remember the source, that translated “An IRA flying column has been dispatched north” as being “one man in a dirty raincoat has boarded the Enterprise and we pray that gun of his works.” Some “terrorism” is just stupidity; some is just expedient labeling of people and beliefs we don’t like. I doubt a ‘real’ terrorist, or even a motivated extremist, would have been so easily subdued by ‘conductors’.
My complaint about ‘sourcing’, at least, was based on the original site loading modal restrictions along with the usual shovelware selection of ad cookies and trackers ‘without my permission’. It’s not just that I do not, and will not, tolerate spam just to read some newsworker prose; it’s that posting a link to such content without warning exposes others, some of whom are probably not fully computer-literate, to the avalanche of opportunistic exploitation. All when five or six sentences adequately paraphrase what laughable amount of ‘news’ is actually contained therein.
Overmod, I agree with you. That someone plays with whatever controls are available to him as a passenger is more an indication that he has no sense of responsibility to other people; that he rested the immediate effort to stop him gives an impression that he is somewhat childish, especially since unarmed people were able to subdue him.
I am concerned by the fact that there are people in this country who want to wreak damage on anyone who disagrees with them–but I do not see, from the account, that this man is such.
