Worst PR Move Ever

In a move that will surely put the ailing Amtrak back on its feet, personnell kicked a man off a Los Angeles bound train for acting drunk an unruly. First, they drop him off at a railroad crossing in the middle of Nowhere, AZ. Second, it turns out that he was actually not drunk, but in the stages of diabetic shock. The incoherent man ran off into the woods and is unable to be found. Amtrak officials have said that the company is not looking into the matter. Smart move, guys, smart move.

I like riding Amtrak, personally, but now I know. If I'm ever unfortunate enough to become diabetic, I'll have to switch to Greyhound, where it doesn't make any difference whether I'm sick, drunk, or crazy. Everybody's welcome on the bus!
