Gnarly: Now Red Line trains need warnings against hanging 10
By adamg on Mon, 04/29/2013 - 5:05pm
Transit Police say a South Boston man was charged with disorderly conduct Friday after officers discovered him "train surfing" from the back of an inbound Red Line train in Quincy.
Police say they found Justin Green, 29, hanging onto the top roof rail from the rear of the train, as it was pulling out of North Quincy around 5:30 p.m. A witness then told police he had seen Green doing the same thing at Wollaston.
Police say Green objected to being charged because he has "a God given right to do anything he wants" and that the only person that would have been harmed was himself.
Police, however, say Green forced a halt in Red Line service while they got him off the train.
They add that in addition to disorderly conduct, Green was packaged into a cruiser for a ride to Transit Police headquarters because he was wanted for evading jury duty.
Innocent, etc.

Entitlement
Police say Green objected to being charged because he has "a God given right to do anything he wants"
Sense of entitlement taken to the extreme.
Well Stu,I'll tell you
surfing's not a sport, it's a way of life, it's no hobby. It's a way of looking at that train and saying, "Hey bud, let's party!"
Let him surf the train
Then he can fall off onto the third rail and we'll be rid of this lowlife.
Have you forgotten this is the T?
He'd probably start a fire that would spread to all the trash on the track and the entire system would burn down.
Then we'd get the whole system rebuilt
Win win! Hey, future grandkids...surprise expense!
Have you forgotten this is the T? Part 2
No, they'd just swap in some Silver Line buses. Forever.
every time i read your comments
i think of some lowlife hitting the third rail too....
Substances
...and there was no green stuff found with Mr. Green?
I saw someone do this
I saw someone do this on the 1 bus on Mass Ave. The guy was just hanging on to the back of the bus as it drove across the Harvard Bridge. Then on the Boston side the bus got pulled over and the guy got arrested.
Train Surfing?
How common is this bizarre practice and do we really have laws that outlaw train surfing?
Yuppy/Local joke?
Help me out here folks, I know there's a good South Boston Yuppy and/or Locals joke in this...
Sorry - it must be a private

Haha! Here's on of Justin

And out of nowhere
A new mayoral candidate arrives! Protect your rights good sir!
I've wanted to do this ever since I saw Blade.
There have never been enough vampires chasing me to actually follow through with it though.
Do we really want him on a
Do we really want him on a jury?
Good way to get decapitated
If my memory serves me correctly, a South Shore teen was killed this way about 25 years ago coming home from a concert.
Did he pay his fare?
Maybe they can get him for fare evasion.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A SOCIOPATH
The sociopath has a continuous drive toward excitement and risk-taking. Impulsive behavior and poor inhibition control...a tremendous sense of entitlement. A sense of narcissistic grandiosity exists within the sociopath,

I guess he quickly found out that
others have a "god given right" to arrest him.
On the other hand
The more swiftly he is allowed to remove himself from the gene poll, the better.
