So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

An Escambia County (FL) man was arrested after falling through the ceiling of a local pharmacy.  The suspect claimed he broke into the building in search of a place to take a nap.
 
Deputies responding to the burglar alarm at the Ensley Pharmacy found a hole in the ceiling, a tile on the floor and Bennett Ervin Turner, 38, hiding in a locked room.  Turner told arresting officers that he regularly rested in the attic.  Surveillance footage shows Turner coming down from the attic and walking around the business. "He did not steal anything," owner David Creahan said.
 
Turner was treated for minor injuries from his fall and taken to the Escambia County Jail.  He faces a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge, and felony charges of burglary and possession of burglary tools.
