  • @ivank.9525
    No regard for human life. Send him to prison
  • @rogerfunk7315
    If he did do it. Isnt messing with the rail road a federal crime?
  • I feel like they should also change him with "attempted murder" for the almost getting the train drivers killed
  • Nah, that should be a TERRORISM charge. However, moving it to adult court is a step in the right direction.

    "All you had to do was not derail the dang train, CJ!"
  • If that train had toxic hazardous chemicals in it that spilled, this 17 year old would deserve to be 25 years in prison or more

    Kid is beyond stupid but for these switches to be able to just be flipped just like that is absurd. He shouldn’t have ever had the opportunity, I know what I’m doing if I ever go homeless.

    Those young people has no empathy for lives nor people emotions it’s just too sad.
  • @jdrayton7224
    He’s going to know the true meaning of train while he’s in prison
  • @rrxing2756
    7 years in prison is not enough, he deserves more then that. Risking lives for a couple of views is unbelievable.
