The weird thing about it is that his fate didn't completely dawn on me until I watched that movie as an adult. CASEY JONES TOTALLY MURKED HIS ASS. I watched the movie about a month ago, and when that happened I was just in shock. Hadn't seen it in years, and the gravity of what he did had never really sunk in before. He straight up tries to murder a motherf***er!

So did nobody check the garbage truck after Shredder fell in and was supposedly crushed? I guess nobody cared.

I think it's funny that in a film where they took a ton of elements from the original Mirage comics and made them more tame, the Shredder's demise was actually far more gruesome. In the comic, Donatello knocked him off a roof as he was trying to arm a small explosive, and Shredder blew himself up off-panel. That's honestly less gross than getting smashed up in a garbage truck.

It's funny, because rewatching the movie now...you really realize how much of a sociopath Casey Jones really is. Likeable one, sure, but still one.
So, like someone else said, it makes total sense and fits his character. He grew to befriend the Turtles, care about them, care about April for more than just being somebody pretty. He even grew to like Splinter. So, this dude did this to people he cares about, and given what he shows prior to this, it's perfectly natural his response to the guy is "F you, you die now". Especially with him seeing firsthand what the Shredder can do if they let him live, the Foot Clan and everything.
Huh, I never thought of it much before...but Jones is kind of a Rorschach like figure in that movie. More chipper, but still...
