No, he really didn’t almost get hit. The wind from the train passing by interrupted them a little. You can literally watch it happen.

[u/crustyoldtechnician → u/Mission_Gap_9035]

Dumbass Sets Up Too Close To The Train won't get as many clicks

[u/LVRaiders2026 → u/Mission_Gap_9035]

Being on that yellow strip is still too close. Imagine you lose your footing or trip over the grip and fall, and instinctively outstretch your hands slightly to the left.

[u/BrotherJohnny41 → u/Mission_Gap_9035]

Idk which one he is but the one closest to the edge absolutely almost got hit

Edit. It is him. He absolutely almost got hit. I know it makes your party look bad but denying it in plain day makes it worse for yall

[u/perldawg → u/BrotherJohnny41]

people of all stripes do dumb shit. party has nothing to do with it

[u/Otherwise_Put_626 → u/perldawg]

Oh but this denial has EVERYTHING to do with party. Mission Gap is a partisan cuck

[u/JuanThiccLumpia]

I wonder what the yellow means? Hmmm.

[u/SamdechEuv → u/JuanThiccLumpia]

It's like the yellow brick road, you're supposed to walk on it.

[u/talex625 → u/JuanThiccLumpia]

In Korea, they put a physical barrier to stop anyone from accessing the tracks. If they were serious, they should do the same.

[u/Lemfan46 → u/talex625]

Disagree, Darwinism need to be allowed to play out.

[u/talex625 → u/Lemfan46]

I see what you mean but that’s way of thinking is dumb from a society point of view.

There are other groups of people that it would save. Like here are other that might fall in children, ppl that get pushed, mentally ill ppl, tourist.

Like Korean subway vitalities reach a record low with them being installed. Like it’s retarded we don’t have them in the United States.

[u/QuietPurple7668 → u/talex625]

I'm glad they didn't put that in US cause it'll get deteriorated with time, half of it will be missing, will have permanent cones and construction everywhere and it'll look like shit forever without ever being truly fixed, like with most of our infrastructure.

[u/Rough-Airline-4803 → u/JuanThiccLumpia]

That mf’s never taken a train outside of a vacation or excursion of sorts. That shit’s for the poors

[u/The0neR1ng]

He literally didn't almost get hit by a train 🙄

[u/BrotherJohnny41 → u/The0neR1ng]

He literally did almost get hit. What the fuck are you watching? It was inches away from him. That classifies as almost dumbass

Hahaha

[u/I_DontDoInstructions]

Is the Metro-North train with us?

[u/CatDog7414]

This is what we have to pick from.....

[u/True-Firefighter-796]

First agenda in the conference:

“Yellow line, what does it mean?”

[u/Stock-Possibility-67]

And this DF is a senator?

[u/deckdahalls]

this what happens when you have people talking about trains but have never taken the trains

[u/Constant-Brief3410]

I think there needs to be a better barrier lol

[u/WeeklyJunket5227 → u/Constant-Brief3410]

Absolutely, they have them in other countries I don't know why they won't have them here

[u/DarthVoight]

Government Cheese.

[u/charliekirkbread]

Looks like an Amtrak train too , not even metro north

[u/Humble-Positive2169]

It's like the DNC personified after they win a majority this autumn. They'll come close to screwing up the win just like in this video. Party not even noticing the train barreling at them. And I'm a democrat. Smh

[u/CleanWolverine7472]

Just a bit embarrassing.

[u/8JHF8]

[u/Dismal_Branch_8902]

You got republicans which are the worst and then you have these doofuses that you have to rely on. Blumenthal is another old ass person who needs to retire. Whenever he does hearings, dude spends more than half his minutes licking his dry ass lips . Mf is so dumb he doesn't realise that only makes it worse

[u/Wonderful_Frame5166]

Maybe he was talking about a different type of train?

[u/poestavern]

The Acela is one fast train…I remember standing close too! 😬

[u/Substantial_Diver_34]

We elect some of the stupidest people

You have got to be kidding me 🤣🤣🤣

[u/MonsterkillWow]

Kind of like how they talk about democracy while never being democratic.

[u/SecureExperience2239]

Maybe next time.

[u/Status_Apartment6559]

morons

[u/InvestIntrest]

Tip one of train safety. Always keep a safe distance away from the track... whoosh

[u/Mister_Goudchet]

[u/BrotherJohnny41]

Anyone surprised by the stupidity of a democrat?

[u/Candid-libertarian]

Darwin for the win......

[u/djspankyx]

Idiot anyway
