- Rinzler89 2y agoGod I hope they graffiti the robot dogs as well because that would be so funny.
- tiagod 2y agoThey will. We're talking of poeple that have no problem stopping a train in a busy station to completely paint it from one side to the other. They'll spray the dog, put a couple stickers on it, and run away.

- sib 2y agoI'm confused - how do the vandals stop the train?
- _tk_ 2y agoLike this: https://youtu.be/vg5OrytF_a0?t=65 https://youtu.be/vg5OrytF_a0?t=65 TL;DW: Basically, the conductor alerts the police and stops the train, once they realize that the train is being decorated. If they started moving forward, it could seriously endanger the graffiti sprayers. So that's really the best course of action here.
- rangestransform 2y agoIf one graffiti artist delays my train for one minute, that’s one minute too many
- wolverine876 2y agoIs outrage somehow a rational reason for anything?
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoego much? if they get hurt, train is delayed, if they don't get hurt, train is delayed. you cannot win.
- vdsk 2y agoWell, you might assume that they only get hurt once. Maybe it would make their co-conspirators re-evaluate their actions too...
- mithr 2y agoWhoa, TIL that suspension railways exist! My first thought after seeing the end of the video was "why is this video flipped?" until I realized that it was only the train that was "upside down".
- djeastm 2y agoBut who do they deploy when the robot dogs get out of hand?
