I love the fact that they just dropped a guy off in the middle of the woods for being an asshole. I didn't know that they could even do that.

Remind me to never ride on their train system.

[Perndog]

Don't be an asshole or, you know, have any medical problems, and you should be able to ride the train just fine. :)

Thats fucked up. You have a heart attack and they toss your ass off while its moving. I really wouldnt doubt that.

[MockMeAmadeus]

It is done all the time. And it's righteous.

Seriously tho, should diabetes not have some sort of identification mark or a tatoo on there foreheads to mark them? How else would you know that you are dealing with one? We were at this party once and a friend (not a good one, due to the fact that we do not like to mix with diabetes) went into diabetic shock. Nobody realised that until someone said: "look at ?, he is doing a tap dance with his head." It was embarrassing as hell. If that place was moving, we would have thrown him off as well.

don't people wear medical identification wristbands anymore

The survey on that page, of COURSE Amtrak didn't do the right thing!

So lets say the situation was a bit... different. Say he were to be on a PLANE.

Diabetes on a plane? No one made that poster yet

Anyone see any racism in this?


Ohhh Amtrak! You dirty little devils.


At least he is found and okay, but hopefully Amtrak gets what they deserve.
