Boy, 15, dies subway surfing on train crossing NYC’s Williamsburg Bridge as girlfriend watches in horror: ‘I just don’t want it to happen again’

Community leader Craig Housen believes subway surfing is a result of teens being bored without a place to turn.

“This is not the first or second occurrence, and this is largely due to the fact that we are not making resources available to our Black and Hispanic youths of Williamsburg,” Housen said. “What happens is they find other ways and means to entertain themselves, and most of the time it’s not usually safe.”

Connemara, County Galway

 Connemara was drastically depopulated during the Great Famine in the late 1840s, with the lands of the Anglo-Irish Martin family being greatly affected and the bankrupted landlord being forced to auction off the estate in 1849.

As that year of 1847 had been the worst of several consecutive years of famine, it was to be understood that those missing tenants had abandoned their holdings to crowd into the workhouses or the emigrant ships to the New World, or they were dead; in any case they no longer infested the ground, which was left as a blank canvas on which Capital could paint a fair and profitable landscape.

Indian Sunset Elton John

 by the time of the period written by Bernie and sung by Elton something like +90% of the Native American's were already dead; suffering what everyone now understands was a biological holocaust.  Those first Indians to greet the first Europeans had no clue, nor did the Europeans for that matter, that they were greeting their deaths.  A doom brought to them by ignorant plague carriers and all the rest.  They didn't stand a chance against the onslaught of old world biology brought to them by a people almost desperately pursuing a better life than that which was being endured in the old world.  They were dead tribes walking with that first hand-shake.


Today we have come to understand there was something like +30M people in continental North America at that time.  Within a span of 30 years +90% of them were gone, leaving the vast continent open to the plague carriers
