    Until the social stigma against treating mentally ill people with violent tendencies as not a potential threat goes away, until we get back to accepting that under very specific conditions of mental illness, it may be necessary to incarcerate people in mental institutions, not prisons, for their own safety and the safety of innocents, until their mental health can improve to being nonviolent, these incidents will continue.

    No amount of changing gun laws is going to fix that. A person who wants a gun to commit violent crimes will find a gun, legally or illegally.

    in Straya every carriage with goods, esp overland trains, are checked by inspectors before leaving the terminal - carriage height checked, if it shows that cart is overloaded or possibly broken springs - she's unloaded & / or changed

    How often are they brought into the yards and axle wheel integrity checked? What are the rules on miles run to being taken off line for a full crawl around inspection?

    not sure. a mate worked for the rail mob & said he could get a call any time of the day or night if there was a freight train arriving or leaving the terminal for a roll by inspection. maybe there's some info on these sites, looks like tracks are also inspected. years ago it was all Govt run, now no doubt all of the tasks are outsourced https://www.onrsr.com.au/ https://www.plateway.com.au/asset-inspections/

    So everyones in an uproar about the fish and other animals dying
    Well today in the hills of NYS I had weeds flowering in my fields that means wild bees will be out and if not blocked the domestic ones as well. Just wait until they realize the bee population was devastated. They will be the first domino in the run.
