Stomp Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Several people are in the wrong here: 1 - Mr Big Man was in the wrong for throwing this young person off the train in the way he did. The video clearly shows the young person falling onto the platform. It's not clear if they are thrown or not. 2 - The conductor was in the wrong for not offering the young person the opportunity to purchase another ticket, and/or for not issuing a penalty notice and/or for not informing the BTP. 3 - The youth himself for not checking he had the correct ticket, and for being abusive toward the conductor. The big man should be prosecuted for assault, and is guilty in my opinion. The conductor should be re-trained. The youth should be issued a penalty notice.

Ridgewalk Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Quite right Anna Glypta, report sent to the Procurator Fiscal (?) so no charge as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Lets remind our self what happens when good men do nothing ………. Two teenagers have been remanded in custody after a ticket inspector was stabbed in the back on a C2C train travelling from Essex to London. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-16274920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because that's what this real world is actually like... just watch the attitude and behaviour of the university student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PC brigade will love it ……….. come to think of it are you the chairman of the PC brigade. In the OP the moment the kid started f-ing and blinding he wanted a clip around the ear and throwing off the train and that’s what he got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 You're right, we should promote and congratulate people who are rude and abusive publicaly when they are out of order. Where would they be promoted to?Perhaps a letter would do the congratulating bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapeApe Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Well what did he expect ? Conductor should have left the student pillock, gone to report to the train driver and radioed ahead to British transport police to arrest student pillock as he got off. Situated badly handled in my opinion. The student wasn't attacking anyone so there was no immediate risk Spot on. What did it have to do with this bully?

How can you disagree that the youth was out of order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
