It wouldn't be a trolley though, more likely something like a Ford F150, right?

Definitely, or at the very least The Union Pacific Big Boy

Smart. That way you only have to shoot one innocent civilian.

Thank you, as an American I hate it.

The guy on the track was black and the shooter was a cop.

Otherwise we'd use a drone and a rocket.

Nah, this is just South America during the cold war.

Self defense

Self defence, the mob was going to use the Struggle attack on the defendant, so the use of a "person defence weapon" in this situation is protected by the amendment, and its not my defendants fault that the rail company leaves switch levers unattended, and in the position that just so happened to destroy people on the track.

Yes, we need to bring in more lawyers to the trolley problem. I'm sure one of them can craft a solution that completely removes the protagonist from any responsibility and completely shortcuts the moral problem.

Leave no witnesses!

the protagonist will then use this incident to prove that public transportation is dangerous and proceed to bribe the local government into replacing it with a highway.

Close air support

Lmao me too

Agreed, why deploy a soldier when a predator drone could land a knife missile on that guy from several klicks up?

This is so accurate that I pee blood.
