Lock him up? He hasn't done anything 'wrong' and clearly has no intent to cause anyone any more harm than you or me. I have no sympathy for the MTA. They have bigger fish to fry than this guy but can only seem to handle harassing and arresting mentally disables trainspotters. Seriously, give him a job. Perhaps if the MTA started hiring people with his degree of dedication and knowledge -all be it strange- to the trains, maybe some improvements would be made.

I think he should retire on a full disability pension. He's put in more hours already than the average transit worker.

When I read the comments suggesting that he be hired my impulse is to fire back with "Don't you get it -- he's insane!" and then I remember who's running the country. Of course, that hasn't worked out so well either.

He would probably run the MTA better than the clowns running it now.

Seriously - hiring him would save a lot of heart ache, money and paper work. *** jewssip.com

Give the man a job already. He would probably do a better job than 99% of the employees working for the MTA anyway. You wouldn't have to train him since he already knows how to drive the damn trains.

impersonating a NYC Transit employee- what was he doing, napping in the token booth?

You know, he is a major headache for the MTA but I have a real soft spot in my heart for him.

this guy loves trains, maybe someone should forward his plight to Neil Young. he even wants to drive them new LIRR cars, how did he know the MTA got some new commuter cars?

Why would you lock him up for life? He has a mental disability and should be more highly supervised by his mother. If he's obsessed with trains there should be some way he can learn about trains in North Carolina. Sheesh!

Would t be so bad if we could lock this douche bag up for life?
