Q: If there is a train track, and five men are on the tracks and do not see (or hear (they’re jamming with their noise-canceling headphones)) the coming train, but you’re within ten feet of a lever that redirects onto a track with three people on it, what is the truly moral option?
A: 1) Go big or go home. 2) Flip off the group of five and when they come to beat the snot out of you (obviously that many guys hangin’ round the train tracks means they’re gang members) you have saved their lives. 3) If they can’t hear the dang train, it’s their funeral. 4) Do nothing. If they don’t know better than to walk on train tracks, it’s on them. Literally. The train will be on them. 5) Blame it on the folks who are supposed to be bring the danger of hanging out on train tracks to public attention.
