Today I went back to the rail road tracks where they stole over 1000 packages from Amazon and UPS from the cargo containers. A train derailed on Saturday I wanted to see if they put it back up on the tracks I came too late they have done it the night before I still saw the train coming bye with open doors on the containers they start cleaning up the rail road

People looting the trains as were moving and when we put the trains away, and We put the trains together at around 2am to 4am everyday…👍🏼 and We have to go under 10mph while we depart and arrive at the terminal, plus we have to stop and go while assembling and dismantling a train.. and Yes those open containers are already robbed..🤦🏻‍♂️

If the answer is no to all three of these questions, it’s not a left wing society. Illegal immigrants aren’t being “imported”, the vast majority of illegal immigrants come here by flying here and overstaying their VISAs. Of course, you probably wouldn’t know that since you just like to regurgitate everything that Tucker Carlson and Fox News says to you and you believe without giving it a second thought or doing any background research.

Trump deeply divided this country and no one believes in our government anymore because they are a bunch of cheating, hypocrites, and crooks. My favorite city, San Francisco has been taken over by the homeless to where they crap and pee in the streets of million dollar neighborhoods and the politicians don’t do anything about it. My friends in LA tell me the same holds true there in LA. The parking where I used to catch the bus in to work has been turned into encampments for the homeless. Many areas look like they are third world countries. I’m also hearing people are starting to leave LA and SF in droves because of the crime and how dirty it has become. A very sad reality is many parks in LA you can’t bring kids to because the homeless use them to shoot up and leave their drug needles all over the place. We still have some nice cities and areas but crime is everywhere and you just can’t escape it anymore. It’s so sad. If we could move to the UK, we would in a heartbeat! Then again, I’ve met some people here who have left Brussels and the UK thinking it’s better here. Ha!

    Shout out the to local resident at 9:14 making the effort to clean up his city. I drive through LA often and the level of carelessness when it comes to trash sickens me. A few caring citizens picking up trash every other day could solve 90% of the issues within a month, but it seems like a disease of apathy has taken hold of the people that live there. Setting a good example is something we need more of. If you do decide to pick up trash, please be safe. Always wear protective gloves, boots, and masks during clean ups to prevent disease transmission and needle sticks. Don't stick your hand or walk where you cannot see, and don't pick up sharps (needles) unless you are trained in handling them and have the proper box for disposal. Be safe out there!

    Those could've been opened anyplace east of there. Probably on sections where the train is stopped in yards, or waiting for a crew change in a lonely mountain pass like Banning. Looks like the train got moving before anything could be pulled out, or the thieves didn't see anything they wanted. When I worked on a train crew, they told us strictly to leave any hoboes or thieves alone and just call the RR police.

    Thanks so much for these updates and your videos. It is really a shame, this is America, the world will see this and also question what has happened to this place. That mess did not happen overnight, I don't blame the rail workers for it but I do blame the cities leadership, the indifference of the highly paid people in charge who are busy now trying to blame others for their failures and I blame the über liberal criminal justice system that is failing their mission. How do they feel this will affect the morale of Americans that go to work earn their money and realize how broken things are? No wonder the mainstream media was not reporting on this until people like GIV started posting, same with the homelessness mess, media is out to lunch.

Even the supposed fabulous areas are hugely lacklustre and massively overstated by media and television. Fabulous fabulous down to earth brutally honest documentation by a guy I would be honoured to call friend. Keep doing what you do Mike. Change nothing.
