I lol'd reading some of the other descriptions of how they tried to deter riders before

That seems like one of those things that would take far more work to create than it would to destroy.

Hint hint, Indonesia

i can't wait to hear about the first of many deaths from these things.

From the article:

Quote :

"“Picture this: If a student has to take the train, he or she would face the threat of being killed by the concrete balls. Now his right to get to school safely is simply violated,” Yosep Adi Prasetyo, a spokesman for the National Commission on Human Rights, told the Jakarta Globe."

WTF? No the hell they wouldn't. I guess America doesn't have a lockdown on stupid people.

aha, I saw that too. My first thought was "if you want to get to school safely.... do ride on the top of a goddamn train"

1/18/2012 5:01:45 PM

someone post the video of the dude getting electrocuted on the top of that train in India

1/18/2012 5:43:51 PM

Someone on npr / bbc was making an awesome arguement in favor at like 4am today/yesterday. I wish I could remember- it was like trolling and totally sound logic at the same time

Killing the people seems like an appropriate response to some of your citizens riding on the top of trains!
