Local media Fox 8 reports that a Cleveland man, who lives with his parents, was arrested last week on federal terrorism charges for sabotaging railroad tracks.
According to a complaint filed in federal court, FBI agents say 43-year-old Joseph Findley jammed metal objects into the tracks near Cleveland's St. Clair-Superior neighborhood. Agents say Findley's action led to a CSX derailment in August:
After the derailment in August, FBI agents began their investigation:
Findley's mother told the local media outlet that her son was "depressed because he lost his job, he lost his girlfriend, but he never did anything like that."
She continued, "They're nuts, he's not a terrorist. I think they all exaggerated it because he never did anything bad."
However, being depressed about Biden's crap economy of persistent inflation is not an excuse to place metal items on CSX tracks.
This brings us to a much larger issue: A surge in train derailments nationwide over the last year. Last week, a freight train carrying military vehicles derailed in downtown Colorado Springs. And, of course, let's not forget about the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
Even though equipment failures cause many of these train derailments, we must ask the question: How many were sabotaged?
