There's a viral video circulating around of a civilian getting thrown off the train in the UK by another civilian. Maybe you all have seen/ heard of it. It's got over 1 million views on Youtube. I've read a few responses to the incident, but I really wanted to know what the victim had to say.
He looks like he was on the wrong side of a bruiser, if you ask me.

It is awful that, that man gets applauded after what he did. I'm sure there was a better way than physically assaulting someone. I might be buying into the victims story too much, but there had to be a way to see if he was lying about buying a ticket. I think this is just appalling.
ReplyDeleteIt was viewed in the same vein as a citizen's arrest. He was playing the vigilante, and the public loves heroes
ReplyDeleteI just saw a clip of this same sort of thing happening on bus in London. A man and a woman were fighting over race and the man pushed the woman off of the bus. (granted the woman was being a butt head and totally insulting the guy, but still...better ways to get a point across)
