FBI Thwarts Train Derailment Plot In Ohio

BPR: In a story that is getting little notice, the FBI has arrested a man attempting to sabotage rail tracks in the hope of derailing trains.

With the plight of East Palestine, Ohio, residents top of mind, Joseph Findley is facing federal terrorism-related charges for allegedly jamming various metal objects into the tracks and rail switches to cause derailments by freight and Amtrak passenger trains, Fox 8 Cleveland reported.

Findley, a 43-year old man, lives with his parents near the CSX tracks in Cleveland’s St. Clair-Superior neighborhood, according to the affiliate.

Mary Findley, the suspect’s mother, told FOX 8 that she doesn’t believe the charges.

“He’s never been a bad kid, never, he was always good. He’s no terrorist, somebody’s making that up,” the protective mother said. more here

  1. Findley met some guys on line who tried to convince him to kidnap the governor of Michigan. When he said he was uninterested, they offered to teach him all about train tracks and derailments, even walking him through the process. Swell guys, those.

  2. There’s only one good reason a 43yr old lives with their parents – to prevent them from being sent to a nursing home.

    Not seeing that here – nutcase for sure. Perfect fodder for the FIB.

    Somehow, I believe her.

    Can’t wait for God to pluck the evil ones from the earth.

  4. Anymore, can we believe anything the FBI tells us? Next up, he wears a MAGA hat, attends rallies, may have called someone in DC a month before January 6th, sent a donation to RNC, has a hunting license, once went to a gun show, thinks there are only two genders….. And is probably not too bright.

  5. Back in the 60s my grandfather was running a passenger train at 90mph when he hit a 100lb railroad tie someone put on the tracks. He didn’t derail but said he almost peed his pants.
