    I liked "Skank's on Trains" more.

    A sign of Third Worldism? An early indicator of what America will become?

    Yeah, soon stuff like this will just be seen as normal.

    If they don't prosecute or punish the criminals...then what's the ****ing point of security?

    In the Los Angeles area, that would probably be 5 pounds of hypodermic needles sifted through the sand at the beach and 5 pounds of homeless human excrement dumped on the sidewalks.

    Clairmont colleges is the first place I ever managed where the CATV amps were in manholes. Our safety manager went insane.

    As far as I know this is only happening in CA an no where else. Who knew the people of CA would be the people who can’t be trusted near trains unlike the entire rest of the country. I’ll bet even the thugs in Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, St. Louis and Baltimore never thought of this. But now that they’ve seen it…

    NOW crime is political?!?

    Want me to quote someone saying it was Trump's fault when Jussie Smollet was "attacked"? It's been political for a long time here.

    Exactly.

    I am not sure about N.O., StL.,or Balt.
    But, I would laugh if I saw some idiots try to pull that crap in Chicago or Detroit.
    They would last about 10 seconds.

    But, I wonder how many criminals in LA never realized the "ez pickens" until they see that.

    I wonder how much all this "security" ends up costing the economy.

    You know there actually are some parts of the country where you can leave your front door unlocked and leave the keys in your car.
    Heck, 40 years ago there used to be parts of the country where people could leave their rifles in the back of an open pickup truck in a school parking lot. Guess those days are over.

    Now requiring "security" everywhere is just normal. In the old days, the only places that had security were banks (oftentimes not even then), seedy nightclubs, and places in New York City.

    Only at select railway yards since this problem is very highly localized to cities with dominant progressive political control and high black populations - the exact same two factors that every other hotbed of rampant thieving in America have in common.

    It is only political to those who see nothing but politics in their entire existence.

    Yeah this is organized or at the very least a gang. They need to deal with it immediately county, state and the railyard. If it spans beyond the state, the feds need to get involved.

    Cruel and unusual, be careful. Thieves have feelings and moms too.

    Not sure that can work, there don't seem to be any consequences. The court systems just want to shake hands with them.

    Many years ago I worked as a Deputy Sheriff in a large metropolitan jail in CA. And I can tell you this: The prisoners were treated humanely, but they hated being in jail. Hated it. And back then, at least half of them were there for misdemeanors or low-grade felonies, often theft related.

    If you broke into a car and stole something, if you raided a train, if you sold stolen property, if you were part of a shoplifting ring, you went to jail when you got caught. The surety of punishment was a deterrent. Of course, not a deterrent for all, but a deterrent for many. Jail sucked.

    Until liberal-run jurisdictions unwoke themselves, this will not get better.

    This country has no future. Plain and simple. The left destroys everything it touches. If the demographics hadn't flipped so quickly the country could recover, but now it is all over.
