Because Jeebus likes guns.

Thought I'd drop this one in for 'local' interest. One for you Grayman

It's starts with a 'novel' way to wreck a car without killing the occupants, then goes to some fine footage of what trains do to trucks on crossings.
Happened in Tennessee, thought of Stanky and Grayman, so... enjoy.

Scary when you see something on the tracks and you know there's no way you are going to stop in time.

Haven't hit a vehicle yet, but I came within inches once with on stuck in snow next to the tracks.

Have come close to hitting drunk people sitting on or near the tracks as well.

I have hit a few fallen trees though. A storm might blow one over, but it doesn't contact the rail enough to drop the signals to red.

Two days after a gunman killed 10 people at a Colorado grocery store, leaving many Americans on high alert, Rico Marley was arrested as he emerged from the bathroom at a Publix supermarket in Atlanta. He was wearing body armor and carrying six loaded weapons — four handguns in his jacket pockets, and in a guitar bag, a semiautomatic rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun.

Moments earlier, an Instacart delivery driver had alerted a store employee after seeing Mr. Marley in the bathroom, along with the AR-15-style rifle, which was propped against a wall. A grand jury indictment later described what had come next: “panic, terror and the evacuation of the Publix.”

Mr. Marley, then 22, was arrested without incident that day in March 2021. His lawyer, Charles Brant, noted that he had not made any threats or fired any shots, and had legally purchased his guns. Mr. Marley did not violate Georgia law, Mr. Brant said; he was “just being a person, doing what he had the right to do.”

And until the law is changed, this kind of bullshit will continue.

Fuck.
