Time To Ban Trains??

[PoliticalChic]

Trains? Nothing wrong with trains.

We should however start thinking about banning heavyset Hispanic twenty-something babes who wear blue, white, and gray ski jackets. Especially the assault variety.

Hey-

Get with the program!!!


It's about banning objects,.....inanimate objects that require human participation, and then go around murdering!!!


I'm thinking about banning pencils....mine has the habit of making spelling mistakes.

1. Woman pushes man to his death in front of oncoming NYC subway train;

2. NEW YORK – A surveillance video of the woman suspected of pushing a man to his death in front of an oncoming subway train was released...

3. It shows the woman running from the elevated platform in the Queens section of New York City Thursday night.

4. ...she had been following the man closely and mumbling to herself. She got up from a nearby bench and shoved him as the train pulled into the platform.

5. It did not appear the man noticed her before he was shoved...condition of the man's body was making it difficult to identify him.

6. She was described as Hispanic, in her 20s, heavyset and about 5-foot-5, wearing a blue, white and gray ski jacket and Nike sneakers with gray on top and red on the bottom.

7. ...unclear if the man and the woman knew each other or if anyone tried to help the man up before he was struck ...

8. It was the second time this month someone has been shoved to their death on subway tracks."

Oh wait...

I get your point. You think that because trains can also kill people that we should not try to reduce the number one cause of murders in the US. Until we eliminate ALL possible modes of murder, we cannot even look at the number one cause

I can see you took logic classes at Columbia

Maybe it's time for a nationwide discussion about banning subway systems?

Seeking help following an assault at the hands of her boyfriend, a woman phoned her parents. They quickly picked her up and brought her to their home, calmed their terrified daughter and she went to sleep. Then a banging at the door arose—the boyfriend had found her hiding place. The parents would not answer, so the suspect kicked in the door and began assaulting them. The mother was able to struggle free and ran to the bedroom to get her pistol. Meanwhile, the suspect turned his attention to the father. The mother returned to find the suspect badly beating her husband. She opened fire, killing the suspect.

A woman in her early 50s was getting out of the shower when the bathroom lights suddenly went out. An intruder collided into her in the dark, causing her to fall backward into the shower and injure her back. She fought the man, but he put a knife to her throat. “She was telling him that she has money and please don’t hurt her,” said Police Cpl. Edwin Ritter, adding that the attack was an attempted sexual assault. The intruder forced the woman into her bedroom, but that’s exactly where she kept her .22-cal. pistol. She broke free, retrieved the gun and shot her would-be rapist several times. He ran outside, collapsed and died. “Thank God she’s okay and she had a weapon to protect herself with,” said a neighbor. “She’s a nice lady, just a sweet lady.” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta, GA, 05/12/11)

Robert Parsley was watching television one evening when he heard a noise outside. He quickly grabbed his Smith & Wesson Model 360 revolver chambered in .357 Mag. to investigate. The doorbell rang several times. Parsley looked out the window and saw a man tugging on the locked screen door. Holding the gun behind his back, he turned on the porch light and asked the young man what he was doing. He claimed his wife was in labor, and heavily perspiring, he said that he needed help. But Parsley found the man’s story suspicious. His instincts were correct: Earlier that evening the man stole an excavator and used it to severely damage a church. Parsley lowered the gun, bringing it into view. “Sorry for waking you!” the young man said as he ran off. Two police cruisers pulled up with their spotlights on searching for a suspect. Parsley told them in what direction the suspect had run and they found him breaking into a nearby home. (WTVD-ABC, Raleigh, NC, 05/20/11)

In 2007, shortly after pharmacist Jeremy Hoven began working the night shift at Walgreens, the store was robbed by four armed men. Despite workers’ security complaints, Walgreens made no changes, so Hoven obtained a concealed carry permit and purchased a firearm. Earlier this year, Hoven was behind the counter when two masked robbers carrying guns burst inside. According to Police Lt. Delmar Lange, the robbers were “very aggressive and very dangerous in what they did and how they did it.” The robbers ordered all employees into a back room. Hoven fired upon the robbers, likely hitting one and causing both to flee. Unfortunately, Walgreens fired the heroic armed citizen for carrying a gun.

Isn't it tragic that Chicago ( a city which bans firearms) experienced a milestone... 500 people were murdered there in 2012. I guess banning guns really doesn't work.

The number ONE CAUSE of all deaths in the US is interpersonal conflicts exacerbated by mental illness and substance abuse. If you want to eliminate the CAUSE it would be to remove crazies and addicts. The method is immaterial. It could be a gun, it could be a knife, or strangulation. It is still a death with the same cause.

[Soggy in NOLA]

Ban human beings.. problem solved.

 

[Sunni Man]

do trains ahave another use beside people using them to kill others?

yes they do.

trains transport many people and aid our economy in many ways.

the guns that are being sought to be banned have one use, to kill.

you can killl people with other guns so society is NOT losing in any way if you ban certain weapons

Now TM thinks she is a firearms expert and a locomotive engineer..........
