I just read a report that the SUV was left on the track by a man who intended to commit suicide, changed his mind and got out, leaving his car there.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

As he should be.
It was oddly comforting listening to an angry Chief Bratton on the news this morning. He hasn't lost a lick of his Boston accent, and I felt weirdly soothed that he was the boss for this reason alone, which is not based in any rational thought.

Yeesh. Though when I first saw the bit about a car left on the tracks, I kinda wondered if Al-Qaeda was finally trying creative small-scale terrorism. So I'm glad it wasn't that.

Fucking idiot.
Of course, he was possibly severly-depressed or otherwise mentally ill, but still, there are a million other ways to kill yourself without killing a bunch of other people while you're at it. And whatever happened to throwing yourself in front of an oncoming train while not in an SUV? Stupid Californians - gotta drive to everything.

Yeah I heard him on NPR. He lost a deputy who was a 23 yr. veteran, I believe.
