Darius McCollum Arrested again

[RetiredLIRRConductor]

Well he was arrested again, the 26th time.
Seems he flashed a badge and phoney ID to a LIRR Conductor.
On Sunday, a conductor recognized him from a "be-on-the-lookout" bulletin posted by MTA police, officials said.
When approached by the conductor, McCollum showed the badge and bogus "National Justice Bureau" ID card, officials said.
National justice league? LOL. Sounds like Superman's "Justice League of America".
The train crew notified MTA police officers, who arrested McCollum at the Babylon station in Suffolk County. His mother complained that authorities are "picking on him, not trying to help him.
"If he wears dark clothes, they pick him up," she said. "Anytime he goes on a train, it's going to happen."
Hmmm suprised she did not Blame Bush for it.
Well anyway here is the Link to the story.

Darius is not only one, there are several dangerous rail buffs out there, And telling Company officials about them does not get results.
MNCR has its own problems with buzzerboy, who carries railroads keys and he seeks access to restricted area's.
He even gave one crew a brake test without and company involvement , again there are more , many more.

Darius's big mistake was not wearing the authentic cape when he impersonated a member of the National Justice Bureau.

Impersonating a federal officer? Come on, that's excessive. You really have to feel bad for the guy more than anything. Prison will nothing for this guy but predispose him to commit a worse crime. What he really needs is some intensive therapy, but heaven forbid the state invest in that rather than room and board for a few years.

He need to move to a new City like Philly or Chicago. He's too well known in NYC and his crazy antics don't work any more

Hell No Mike. We have enough nuts down here in Philly.....I should know.

Please keep him away from Buffalo's Subway.

The charges were trumped up.....I heard Darius was railroaded....

[RetiredLIRRConductor]

Yeah poor Darius, I dont know if he was railroaded, but is seems those who should be protecting him are asleep at the switch .
This poor guys life has been like a runaway train.
Someone has to take custody of Darius and his onetrack mind, before his life becomes a complete train wreck.
Hopefully with a little counseling he can find another way to blow off steam, before his life is completely derailed, and he ends up thrown by the wayside.
I hope somebody can sidetrack this guy away from his obsessions.
Then maybe he will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm impressed!

Yeah, but for Darius, the 'light at the end of the tunnel' might be an oncoming train with no brakes!

Hmmmm engine 160??

Hello everyone. Im curious because im not real familiar with this guy or his history, but before he developed a criminal record, could he have gotten a job on the subways or railroad. Would there have been anything stopping him either mentally or physically or whatever? Would the MTA hire this guy now even with a record or would it not be a good idea at all? The guy obviously loves to be on transit or railroad property. I guess maybe I feel bad for the guy but then again like I said Im not real familiar with the man.

[diffusedmind]

This man will never get a job with a transit agency, that's for sure.
