Pols, Bayport residents want LIRR to halt fence project

for everyone calling these teenagers who killed themselves idiots are just being rude. Many people including myself were friends with these girls, you're clearly all adults in here and this is sick that you're saying stuff like this. grow up and show some respect.

and her name was EMMA casey, moron. none of you are from bayport, and none of you know/knew what it was like. so before you open your mouth again know that we grow up in one of the nicest areas on long island. these girls had problems that no one knew about, no one saw this coming, and they thought the only way out was suicide. please people from other towns just stay out of our business. its not your subject to discuss.

I'm from Bayport. I grew lived there for 30 years, and managed to never get hit by a train.

I meant to say I lived there for 30 years.

Excuse me? You never managed to get hit by a train? How ignorant and insensitive are you?
I have a suggestion for you - next time you are in the vicinity of an area of unfenced track and hear a train coming, do us all a favor and MANAGE to get hit by it.

Did you just respond to a year old post and call the poster ignorant?

I was reminiscing about Emma this morning, looking through her myspace, having a good cry... anhd I see all these terrible things hat people have said. You don't understand what she went through in the 15 years she was here. You also do not know the things she had accomplished. She accomplished more in those 15 years than most of you will ever do, in your lives, put together and multiplied ten-fold.

She went through a lot, and I was one of the people who understood, because I had hard times too. We were very much alike in that way.

God, I miss her so damn much, I wish that I had gotten through to her better. I tried my hardest to boost her confidence in the situation we were in.(she was part of my group the week I was being hospitalized for depression. she was only 13 when i met her.) She was my room mate and we created an instant connection. I guess i feel it wasn't good enough...but I know she kept what we had close at heart.

I miss you so much.. I can't believe you would have been 20 this year. What you did was harsh, but I never knew a girl with a bigger pair than you. In a way, it proved your conviction in life, even though it shocked everyone around you. I love you. I miss you... And I'm crying. I have had so many bad things happen to me since you died, I have barely even had the mental room to think about you for more than a few minutes a day. But this morning, I've been crying. i love you forever.

_Staci, your Mather room mate.

The fence isnt just for you guys!!Its going up along the whole right of way along the tracks from montauk to queens.Wherever the probality for a pedestrian to get hit is higher this part of the project will go up first.The whole idea is if they cant cross the tracks without getting hit let them use the crossing gates.
