    NYC Subway Vandals

    A group of vandals who call themselves the "Conquestors" toss a piece of metal in the path of an oncoming train. It hits and shorts between the third rail causing an electical "explosion", arcing and causing the train to go into emergency mode and stop. One of the vandals have been arrested. Hopefully the rest will be arrested before they cause a serious accident.

    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    I can never understand the mentality of people like this. They do shit like this, for whatever reason, and obviously don't care that they may be endangering many lives in the process. Perhaps anyone caught doing this should be tossed across the same rails.

    It's quite frankly, American privilege, in my opinion. I think anyone caught doing shit like this should be sent to a place like Haiti for a year to help provide relief work. Let them see how the other half lives and maybe they'll come back and appreciate what we have here.

    How about nasty, nasty SOB's who have been stringing high test fishing line across city and neighbourhood streets in the hopes of catching unwary people on bikes for some sadistic or terror purposes? ...........this has been going on in the city of Victoria for the last few months!
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I figured it was line for your weed whacker, then I remembered Canada doesn't allow weeds or crabgrass.

    Holy shit that is effed up. That's serious injury and even death. A lot of people hate cyclists. I ride both a motorcycle and a bicycle and a lot of drivers hate both, but especially bikes. I suppose it's because they're jealous that they couldn't get their fat asses on a bike anymore if they tried.

    An acquaintance of a cousin of mine died when he rode his mini-bike into a steel cable that was stretched across the nearby Ohio Canal Towpath, back when it was actually a towpath. The cable was put up by the city to keep motor vehicle traffic off the path and everyone knew it was there...but the thing was darn hard to see at dusk, when the accident occurred.

    Let someone(s) start stringing the area trails up with monofilament and things will get...sporty. A lot of the LE and park ranger community are avid cyclists themselves and would probably make it Job 1 to nail such a pack of assholes.

    That's very sad. An accident, but it sounds like the city didn't think that through very well.

    Unfortunately, this sort of thing is too easy to do on purpose, and people are going to get hurt or killed before anyone gets caught.

    People are just sick fucks.
