Amtrak kills symbol of freedom

As the Northeast Regional 111 train chugged south about 8:30 a.m., an engineer spotted the majestic bird and blasted his horn. At first, the eagle didn't budge, Koppie said. Then it slowly took off - too late. The train arrived at Washington Union Station two hours later with the bird stuck to the locomotive like an emblem.
Am I bad person because this made me laugh?

Proof that "freedom" means you have to get off your ass in order to remain "free" or else the world will happily take it away...

There's something rather poetic in that. You're free to do as you please but not free of the consequences, of your actions.

What are you people smoking, just the phrase "the bird stuck to the locomotive like an emblem." is hilarious.

Am I th only one who imagined what a bug being squished on my windshild looks like, except that in my mind I replaced the green bug goo with red eagle goo

I see the problem here.
It was a Thursday.
Everyone knows the eagle flies on Friday.
