Kinda odd isnt it? a deaf person intentionally walking on RR tracks?
I mean its kinda like a blind person insisting on driving a car or strolling on a fishing pier? To intentionally do so is to invite the worst.
To me this doesnt ring right. I mean its not your average “complete moron jogging with head-phones blaring on the tracks”…this is a person who was very aware of their condition and would likely know to do this would be to walk in harms way.
I’m with MP173, you can’t have it both ways. What happened to this girl is unfortunate. If we want to rip on people, we should focus on the idiots that will no doubt use this inccident as an argument for fencing in railroad right of ways and “impassable” crossing gates. I’ll be the local papers will carry editorials to that effect in the coming days.
First and Formost God Bless the families involved in this horrible incident.
I do wonder why she chose to walk the tracks, in her current condition? Personally, someone who has all of his / her senses shouldn’t be walking the tracks in the first place. I think this girl must of thought that her other senses would pick up the train before it came in her path.
I do wish, people would take extreame caution when it comes to being on or around railroad property.
I think he meant Untermensch-which means “sub-human” A popular term
for *** to use with those of Jewish or Slavic extraction. This guy’s got to
go-far, far away.
I have a good idea, one fostered by ajmiller…lets copy and capture every one of his foul postings, repost them so he cant delete then, and forward a copy to Bergie.
Shouldn’t take all that long to resolve the problem, hey?
When I die, I’m going to be sure that my wife dosn’t tell this forum that I passed away because SOME of the posters (see above) will see it as an opportunity to take shots at me.
You know, at times I am overwhelmed by the depth of knowledge of the folks on this forum. At other times, I am blown away by the immaturity of a very small majority of the posters.
It doesn’t - ever seen that clip of the European kid playing chicken with the train? How about the well known clip of the woman walking in front of a commuter? Lack of awareness of trains knows no boundries. In fact, sometimes it totally ignores the boundries (by driving around the gates!)
