Woman who walked in front of train is ID'd

It's sad when anybody tries to kill themselves. But, to do it in front of the crew on a train is without excuse! If the crew is in the engine, they have a direct view of the person as she or he is hit. How mean! Fortunately, if the crew is in a cab car (the engine in the rear of the train) the crew's position is high enough off the tracks to probably avoid seeing a person on contact.

Im sure this lady was not concerned with whom was in the cab or not...she just wanted it to end. Sad...hope she is happy where ever she is now.

Was hoping her full name was West Side Jesse. Oh well.

What kind of person are u that all u can think about is what the crew saw??? i knew her personally and all i can say to u is f**k u and go get a damn heart!!!!

Of course because of her actions others will be emotionally hurt and scared, taking your own life is selfish and ignorant, its just a shame her friends and family weren't there to help her or to notice she had a problem and she should have reached out as their is always help.

Is your life THAT pathetic that you HOPE a random person on a message board DIES?
And for what? Because that person may have some different opinions than you?
The IQ of the dailybreeze.com readers is starting to make it an embarrassment to even admit one reads news from this site.

Right, but you obviously have a much higher IQ, based on your ranting. Ever think I may actually be a friend of West Side Jesse's and it was all in fun? Oh no, I guess that stick in your arse made that thought impossible! Relax a little and get a hobby.

People, people, please, can't you all just mow the lawn?

this is just sad. love to all her family n friends. may she r.i.p. and i'm sure she's in a better place than here.

You selectively read my post. Reread the first sentence.

Those train crews ride those trains everyday not knowing who or what they are going to hit without being able to do a darn thing about it. They have to suffer seeing a grotesque incident like that and live with that memory their entire lives. What did they ever do to deserve that?

That woman was so self absorbed that she couldn't think or see beyond her nose. Nobody has a right to take their own life. For whatever reason you can give for our being here, none is more clear than for us to live. Some have been so maltreated in history, suicide is clearly tolerable. The American Indian and the black slave population under Spanish rule in all of Latin America comes immediately to mind. This woman lived nothing like that. I know nothing about her. But, she did not have a right to put those train employees through that experience.

It's a small consolation, but the Amtrak/Metrolink rules give the crew an automatic 3 days off when they have to go through one of those kinds of incidents.

BTW, if you think I am so insensitive, you should reread your own nasty post.

I would never assume you have friends. However, I am perfectly relaxed. It doesn't take much effort or energy to reply on here.
I have plenty of hobbies, none which include practicing a stand up act on a message board, which seems to be your hobby.
As far as a stick being up my arse...I think you need to lay off the porn and keep your fantasies about anal insertion to yourself.

Thanks for proving that you are in fact just trash.

slug,

"Nobody has a right to take their own life."

Really ?

My understanding it is illegal so that the system has a means to intervene and help the person seek help. That is my understanding.

slug are you really sitting here discussing politics on here. and yes suicide may be illegal sweetheart but the justice system can't do anything but take away life insurance.:) so how about you shove your political views up your ass and just get a damn life. damn republican. Talina was amazing! and everyone that knew her was lucky. SO RIP TALINA YOULL FOREVER BE MISSED!

Life insurance pays out on suicide if the policy has been enforce for two years or more.

Not quite slug, No one in california has ever gone to jail for attempting to take their life unless in doing so they committed some other crime. They are however taken for a 72 hour pshyc eval which is non criminal.......

The technicality is noted. Thanks.

To slug,
I think you need to do some research before you speak, because your ignorance is clearly evident. Why don't you research depression and suicide and try to grasp a small sense of the sufferer and that at the very least, if they couldn't comprehend the amount of anguish they will eventually cause their family and friends, let alone the poor crew, how they can comprehend so many things. What they suffer is a constant feeling that life has no purpose (only to be reinforced by tragic events around them) and that their own life's demise may end the suffering for all. That poor girl was crying and pacing and was all alone. Depression is a disease and unless the sufferer expresses their mind truthfully, you can never really learn how sick they are. You can't see it, can't examine it. You can only trust the person will be honest about their thoughts and even then, we can never know how deep their honesty is. Please take time to study about it and then come back and write a more intelligent and compassionate comment.

It really wasn't about her. If you are all about her, you are too late. The girl was crying and pacing and was all alone? How was that known? How did you know?

I am around trains regularly because my son is a railfan. We chase people off or call the cops when we see them on the track. If we had seen that girl like that on the tracks, believe me she would not have been there long enough to get killed. Get off your high horse.

There are criminals in the police department. Rapers, Murderers, false accusers, sadist and evil sub-human beast. Police are above the law.
Stoppolice brutality upon me and other innocents.

If you walk in front of a train you're either a) A moron & you earned your Darwin award, or b) you wanted to die. If you're selfish enough to want to kill yourself its your life, but if you risk derailing that train & harming the innocent people on board, or mentally scarring the people who have to witness your act then well you don't deserve the pity.

For the person who was like "RIP she's in a better place...blah blah blah" Sorry but if you believe in those "better places" then you're aware you don't get into them by killing yourself. Suicide = hell, not Heaven. Sorry to burst your shiny bubble, but before this becomes a dumb religious debate it was simply a point I don't care to argue religion over someone who killed their self thanks.

I'm fully aware of how horrible depression can be, but there's options and sheer will of mind to make your life better. Been there, done that. So I cannot pity someone who took the easy way out at the expense of the people who loved them.
