WTF engineer derails train in attempt to ram USNS Mercy

An engineer deliberately ran a train off the tracks at high speed near the Port of Los Angeles in an attempt to crash into and damage the USNS Mercy hospital ship, prosecutors say.
The Pacific Harbor Line train derailed Tuesday, running through the end of the track and crashing through barriers, finally coming to rest about 250 yards from the docked naval ship.
Federal prosecutors allege train engineer Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro intended to hit the ship, saying he thought it was "suspicious" and did not believe "the ship is what they say it's for.'"
quote:
Moreno has been charged with one count of train wrecking, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.

People are starting to snap under the pressure. The social fabric is on the verge of unraveling. It’s going to be a rocky decade

“You only get this chance once. The whole world is watching. I had to,” Moreno told investigators, according to the complaint. “People don’t know what’s going on here. Now they will.”
Moreno said he was suspicious of the Mercy and believed it had an alternate purpose related to COVID-19 or a government takeover, an affidavit states. Moreno stated that he acted alone and had not pre-planned the attempted attack.

Taking the WTF factor up a notch or two.

Come on guys, we've all been there...
That parked car over there looks suspicious, time to derail a train and hit it.

I believe the man committed more than one crime. I do not believe “train wrecking” is actually in any law book. Crazy.

Time for red flag laws for internet access.

For train wrecking, yes.
It's the attempted murder multiplied by however many people that were on the ship that's gonna take a while to sit out in the pen (hopefully).

One count of being a bear, one count of accessory to being a bear.

Mr Moreno might get elected Governor or Senator after this. Bright future in California politics.

I'm guessing Moreno is a loyal democrat voter. He definitely sounds like "their kind".
