NYC subway system is becoming some sort of freak show down there lately, but at least this guy finally has been caught.

Haven't they been getting rid of the passenger accessible emergency brake cords?

These are the emergency brakes in the engineer's compartment at the unoccupied end of the train.

I'll make an exception to my opposition to the death penalty for this guy.

Yeah, they have, you don't see them anymore except on some very old subway cars. Even then the MTA is getting rid of the those cars, and once they've gone that will be that, all new subway cars do not have easily accessible passenger emergency brakes.


This eegit somehow is getting into conductor/operating area of rear cars and is pulling the brake inside.

Will say it again, city is backsliding right back to the 1970's and good part of 1980's.

I hope they try him, and judge sentences him to consecutive, not concurrent sentences.

Can they tell him defendants must stand on the third rail during the trial?

Guy seems to have mental issues, just like that other eegit who couldn't stop himself from stealing trains.


Mark my words, first move out of the box by public defender will be a request for mental examination, from there path is set. Guy will be likely given a light sentence that involves some sort of mental component, and or just shipped off to a funny farm for awhile.

That would be a great way to tame the insane property values.

That's not a great way to lower housing prices. That's a dumb way. Turning a great city into a Detroit or Buffalo is not "great."

Great is finding a way to lower housing costs (eliminating government red tape, excessive government oversight, loosening zoning, loosing union stranglehold, etc.) but still keeping the city safe, growing and prosperous.

Sadly, I don't see any such visionary leader on the horizon for NYC. All the current wacko liberal Leftists in the NYC political theater are hacks or lemmings or opportunists, each trying to outdo each other on who is more nutty.

Get ready for a NYC going into a slow but gradual decline relative to other cities.
