  Sure it shouldn’t be glorified (and Jenkem definitely didn’t glorify it) but it also shouldn’t be ignored. That’s what journalism is about. After watching this video any person in their right mind will understand the dangers that come with doing something like this. And if you think somebody is now gonna try it just because they saw it on Jenkem, don’t you think that same person hasn’t already been exposed to thousands of other stupid activities they could get themselves into?

    You’re right, this is what journalism is about, reporting the truth of the matter, these images are the truth but so are the images that the New York Times posted just this morning, 13 January 2024 of the aftermath when these surfers make one wrong move or a copycat that saw one of them and wants to try it cause it seems easy enough freezes up in a panic and gets deleted by a solid wall or blacked out barricade or another train car. I think this article and images should be updated with the sole sneaker sitting on the yellow lines beneath the elevated tracks in the middle of the street and the image of the blood splatter spot of where his body landed and then was removed from… he was 14, add that too because Journalism means give the people all the details, not just the ones that might inspire someone who might be going through something… feels like theres nothing to live for, if they can imagine their Jordans on the street by themselves and a blood stain but their body isn’t there, maybe it might deter them from joining this ridiculous trend of dying on top of moving trains, if they care about their Jordans at all… gotta count on them caring about something, update this article with the blood splatter, (photo shop in a chalk outline) and def add that close up of the Jordans, could be how we get a better grip on this insanity.
