    In that case, no, and you’re not responsible anymore. Those people working on switching out the trolley parts had every available opportunity to fully stop the trolley, more-so than you. You diverted it to save a life immediately, that crew maintaining this Trolley of Death are the real murderers.

      What if the maintenance crew themselves didn’t know that the trolley was going to hit the tied down person 1000 miles away?

      I blame the trolley company’s CEO and shareholders for allowing a random person to divert the trolley’s path in the first place.

      They were told that for every part they replaced, they were diverting another trolley down a 1000-mile track

          Well it’s like my grandmother always used to say: “Capitalism is like a death trolley barrelling down 1000 miles of track towards you”

            Can’t you just say the same thing about life in general?

          Capitalism is maintained by others, and all most of us can do in our day to day lives is make sure that the people in our immediate vicinity aren’t killed by it.
