Man pushed to death in front of NYC subway train

I guess we need to think about banning trains. Those things are so unsafe.

The way you worded the title was funny to me. I pictured someone getting pushed near a train over and over again until they died.
But yeah, definitely ban trains. Probably need to ban inclement weather also.

 

Lol. I just copied pasted msn's title. But yeah my thoughts went the same as yours.

 

Another one? Seriously this is getting ridiculous, why don't they have freaking railings or something?

 

thats sad.

LMFAO ban inclement weather.

 

the world is going to shit. people have no respect for human life. it is sad

 

This is so very true. Society is sick these days.

 

Only dangerous assault trains.

 

Shit like this reminds me of the song Lost by Rhyme Asylum.

 

Nah, some contractors will probably take the opportunity to lobby for platform screens like these:



These are pretty common in Asian subway systems because people can get pushed off the platforms inadvertently due to overcrowding.

 

Oh what makes an assault train? Must be the paint and head lights. Its looks so scary.

Thats actually a good idea. They could raise rates to pay for it to instead of sticking the cost on everyone.

 

No, it has to reassemble a military train, or have one characteristics of a military train (ie- uses rails to move)

 

I know I am going to take shit for this but here it goes.

People have been killing people since people first met other people. cavemen probably killed eachother for fire or wooly mammoth meat way back when. Then comes the stone age. perhaps the bloodiest and most horrible time in human history. with burnings, plagues, torture running wild. Move into columbus "discovering" america. We came over, killed countless indians, took over the land. so on and so forth. WWI- introduction of gas in war. The one thing that absolutely scares me shitless is that kind of war. You got areas (middle east) that have been killing eachother pretty much forever.

My point is that humans have always been and always will be creatures of death and destruction. Granted, the number of people in society that are like this are minimal but its not a recent thing for humans to kill and harm others without any remorse. Just the recent ability for media to cover it and society's interest in bad stuff rather than good stuff has made it seem more prevalent.

It is still sad and it sucks that some people are like this but that is just the way it is and always will be. I don't think society is going to shit. I think society has always been shit and honestly it might be better now than it has ever been.

Edit: One more point i just thought of. People say that the problem is desensitization within children. IMO, children today have far less exposure to hate and violence that through the majority of history

 

X2. I missed the days when I could curb-stomp some sucker for looking at me the wrong way, and not have it on Twitter within 30 seconds...

 

It holds over 100

 

^So post-ban trains have a bulkhead welded in so they could hold only 15?
