Was he right???

[Steve Bullman]

For the record, I am the product of parents who were brought up in war-time/postwar East End of London then moved to Essex to build their first home. I was brought up kindly but firmly, and taught to have the utmost respect for others. I think there is some confusion here that I am supporting the actions of the fare-dodger because I disagree with the way he was dealt with. I no more support his actions than I do those of the 'big man'. What I object to here is people taking matters into their own hands and getting physical when there is absolutely no need for it.

 

The thing is...your solution is no solution. You say keep him on till the next stop and have him escorted off by the authorities.....well thats fine, but they are going to do nothing...and if the next stop happens to be his stop then hes away scot free anyway!

Depends where the second wrong occured, was it at the point of him delicately touching the youth, or was it when the inspector; a man of integrity, and long serving to this fine countrys transport system, gave the bully boy the order to assist in the return of peice to this sleepy village.

 

if the later then he was right as there is no such thing as three wrongs dont make a right, thats been proven in court,lol. dont ask me to recite the case, its slipped my mind!!!! its on memory stick

 

Delicately? For me, the second wrong is the physical contact between the two guys which couldn't be authorised by the conductor as he did not have such authority

Id have got involved in a different manner, id have said excuse me, young man of the educational system, could you kindly stop using such vulgar language in the presence of these fine people, if you continue to do so, ill remove you from this peaceful social situation myself, now the gentleman has asked you; with the authority he has been given ,to kindly leave the train, are you going to do that for the gentleman, or not.

 

At which point id have used him as a fire hammer and launched him through the window. where upon hacksaw jim duggan would jump down and do a double team on him from top rope.

My solution both prevents physical assault and delaying the train. Unless we want to set ourselves up as judge and jury, the deciding of what to do with such pratts (the fare-dodger) should be left to the Police and CPS, not some 'have a go hero'

I think what you are trying to say is:

 

I have noticed that the spelling of the 'yes' crowd is significantly worse than that of the 'no' crowd.

 

Tut tut.

 

How can you be so sharp after a load of Stella Mark?

Im having trouble reading,let alone doing a toe tap like that!

Felix, at what point would you think verbal should be replaced with physical?

what would the lad of had to have done before you would say, enough was enough.
