fruitisbad Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 common sense would have been for the guard to have the BTP waiting at the next station not for vigalantism to take over. Or maybe this is what cameron was talking about when he said about big society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 What the passenger without the ticket did may have been wrong but as the saying goes 2 wrongs don't make a right. One of the reasons we have laws in place, mind you it was Scotland so the law may be different. Do you live in the real world? Excuse me Mr foul mouthed fare dodging customer would you mind getting off the train as everyone wants to get home. Or I kick up the backside. Come on , which do you think will work.

Or maybe this is what cameron was talking about when he said about big society. I can't help thinking that common sense is to just remove the guy, why should we wait for the transport police to show up when it is something so easily done by someone willing to stand up to this behaviour. People should stand up to it a lot more, then there would probably be a lot less chav behaviour. If you see someone behaving like an idiot stop it yourself don't sit on your arse waiting for the police or whoever to do it for you. Its so depressing that everyone trying to just live their lives quietly and legally has to tread on eggshells to avoid upsetting a sue happy chav. We should be allowed to stand up for ourselves.

Kadogo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 A clear case of Common Assault, possibly Actual Bodily Harm. I hope he is caught and spends Christmas in jail, like the Addo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think the family have just screwed their compensation case http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jail-Alan-Pollock-The-Violent-Scumbag-Who-Assaulted-Sam-Main/337208076305559?sk=wall&filter=12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 This is my point, if the lad did have a valid ticket, as he is now claiming, why did he not show it ? Maybe he thought by acting the way he did, that he would get away with it. All boils down to the fact that most of the youth of today have no respect for anyone. If I had spoken to anyone like that when I was a kid, that would have been the treatment I would have got - plus a clip round the ear from my dad. Society has gone soft, thats why kids today are like that. At the very least, it's about lack of respect. There was no reason for the lad to behave in the way he did towards the conductor. The conductor was merely doing his job. No one deserves to be spoken to in that way. Like you, had I behaved in such a way I would have been dealt with by my parents. They certainly wouldn't be defending my actions on the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love_rat Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I hope the young lad is compensated for hurt feelings and being humilaited. He deserves a million quid. If that happens, I will do the same - get on a train at Sheffield Train Station, and start swearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 And here he is, bragging about it on facebook, with all his mates saying he should have lashed out at the big guy, read the "older posts" as well : https://www.facebook.com/sammain16?sk=wall Bye, bye compo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
