Train surfing is just plain dummy behavior

I know I should have compassion for this person, but they are bringing it upon themselves for a stupid thrill. That sort of selfishness is angering because it affects more than themselves. It affects all their loved ones more.

If the person lives, that person should be sued by the MTA for the delays caused by said action. If the person dies, take it from their estate.

@not_davy he did not survive even if he did it was a teen that has no estate

The MTA needs to start billing the parents for subway surfing. It's dangerous and disruptive to thousands of riders. That's why kids act this way. There's no consequences anymore

@Agirlhasn0name if the kids are peer pressured by other kids or even forced into it the parents who had no clue should still suffer?
