re: Witness to LSU student’s death: “Still somewhat in shock realizing what happened”

that was couplers banging together as if they were tightening up to start moving. Which would also happen if they were swapping cars, locomotives, etc. somewhere on the line also

These cars move to and fro, banging the couplings with any slight movement of the engine, forward or backwards. None of that means the train was actually going anywhere

yeah, that's what I was getting at (poorly)... anytime they're doing anything with a train they'll tighten the cars up.

This is what democrats keep parroting over and over on CNN and MSNBC. But everyone knows the real threat. A Certain 6% of the population is committing over 60% of all violent crime. And that’s probably a low number not counting the unsolved cases. But if you use facts, you become a racist. So nothing changes….

This is a natural offshoot of the non-sensical argument against profiling we had over a decade ago.

Profiling makes sense, complete sense, in the aspects of patrolling and investigations. Not so much for arrests- but you have to patrol/monitor and investigate before arrests.

But once ground was given there, the left will take it to the next level where once "profiling" was established as racists, using demographic data in any sense becomes profiling and hence racist.

It's just like PC speak- go back and look at the arguments over language and see where we are today on the subject. CA banned the word "alien" in the 90's; that's because the constitution specifically uses that word, it wasn't virtue signaling. Now, since the word "alien" isn't used that article can not be applied and has resulted in decriminalization of illegal immigration.
