    I just think trains shouldn’t stop or slow down. Hose off the cartilage and viscera at night and she’ll be right.

    People should not be delayed and inconvenienced because of fuckwits.

      I am a strong strong proponent. Either we take this shit seriously, get these people proper help! OR we stop pretending to care and fit the trains with a blender attachment on the front. I was stuck on one for 45 minutes once 10m short of the station. We FINALLY arrive at the station, only to have to wait another 20 minutes cause the person got BACK on the tracks!

        This happens regularly around Footscray and Sunshine. It’s either junkies or people with clear mental health issues.

        I’m not saying we shouldn’t take care of our most vulnerable, but when does the burden on society end?

          i mean, it should probably start with proper mental health services, But for some reason thats unconscionable.

          To be fairish it is occasionally a kangaroo. But we all know what that alert means.

        If a person sees train tracks and first instinct is to walk on them…maybe, just maybe, we might be better off without them.

        Young children notwithstanding, then it’s on the parents.

        Once a few trains pass over it’ll be ground into a slurry I would imagine. Might smell for a day or two, but could also feed the local fauna!

        win-win?
