Did this person pay their fare?
uncalled for
what is your problem? what if this was someone you knew??
That was my son that was killed by the train.
A family just lost a loved one. Get a heart… Mr. Bend Over.
A shame you don’t appreciate humor to calm bad times for those who choose it! The suicide by train is quicker than Meth/Heroin/Smoking/Gangster Rap (Hip Hop)Alcohol /Crack/Pot/Cell Addiction, etc.!
Humor? was it funny when someone you cared about died?
Why don’t you give it a try then get back to us with an informed opinion.
You first! Let’s make it a fund raiser and sell tickets! I am good for $5 for front row. Seal your self in a chamber and I will supply the GAS!!
That would AssFixiation!
Cruel and unusual punishment on pay-per-view.
Please post when your loved ones passes so we all can have a great chuckle. We’ll be on stitches when you die !
Let’s all have a chuckle when good ol Bill is gone ya’ll. Hopefully he croaks’ from the gangster rap syndrome.
Humor? was it funny when someone you cared about died?
Bend Over, a family just lost a loved one. Are you are not funny, discussing.
You want somber, try the obits.
Interfering with mass transit, and fare evasion, are crimminal behaviors. Many people commute on the trains. It would be better if these people ODed, rather than being a human monkey wrench for mass transit.
Where is the humor in someone being so depressed that they are willing to take their own life . my son was obviously in a lot of pain. Now. Me and his love ones are suffering. Takes a lowlife to joke about it.
Mr. Morgan,
I am so sorry about your sons loss of life. Most don’t understand the depth of depression and how much pain someone is in. I can’t even imagine your pain and how this is affecting you and your family. My heart is broken for you! I hope that you will be able to find some solace in the good memories. We aren’t supposed to bury our children and I hope that the pain of this won’t ruin you. Make sure you reach out and get the help that you might need. I hope that your sons memory will last a lifetime and that he rests in power.
All my best!💔💕❤️
