UP Railroad Crossing Sting

Awesome...UP and law enforcement got together and cited about 40 people with $140 infractions for crossing against the flashing lights in Centralia. The two comments posted in the article? "It's crooked," and "they're defrauding people."

I'll tell you what's crooked: the spine of a person who gets T-boned by a Big ACE at a crossing when they don't heed the warnings. UP just got done with the same sting in North Idaho; the reaction there was more amiable, understanding the risk and accepting the tickets.

I wonder what's different between the two areas! Here's a link to the KIRO Article about the Centralia sting:

  1. These are the same bozo's and bimbo's who would be yelling "Law Suit" if they got hit by a train. There should be some way of removing these idiots from the gene pool ...... Calling Dr. Strangelove!
