Words fail me. Why on earth would Amtrak do something like this? Even if the man had been drunk, why would they think that letting him off in 800,000 acres of woods was a good idea? What the fuck??
Appalling. I hope they find this poor man before it's too late.

That's just bizzare! Shouldn't they have to turn him over to authorities if he's drunk? Just ...yeah, words fail me too.
i was pretty amazed by this, too. even if he wasn't diabetic, can you imagine just dumping some poor guy off in the middle of the woods?
i hope they find him, too.
that is effing uncool. i hope he's found okay...
Oh god I hope they find him. I can't believe the family aren't furious at Amtrak.
Greg made a good point. Remember, Amtrak is federally funded. Tax dollars are going to dumping people off in the middle of the woods. Argh!
Great PR story, Amtrak! I hope they find the guy.
Apparently it's something the workers on that train have done before at that stop.
I pray that the man they kicked off is able to hold out. I'm sick to my stomach as I think of his current fate.
If he's low and doesn't get something in him quickly.....you know what happens.
the FK?! he's 65! and it was after 10pm! what in the world....!
WTF?!
My husband just spouted off all sorts of legal stuff. It's a big deal.
If I heard this right on Keith Olbermann's show this evening, the man was found later. I'll check and post back.
Just checked, and he was found last Thursday. And it wasn't just that he was diabetic, he had only just been diagnosed, and apparently was in diabetic shock when they threw him off....

Oh my God. This kind of stuff scares me to death.
Amtrak must now be a subsidiary of Kaiser Permanente?
