He had 2 tickets, i dont see that as stealing from anyone… he paid his fare and had a right to be on the train, its not his fault the train companies messed up !

Mob Rule 1
Rule of Law 0

“Nobody has the right….” can you point me to the peice of paper that says that?

People do have the right to stand up to those that do wrong around them, you wouldn’t think so in this country, but you do have the right. Big man sorted out young ned, fair play to him.

You’re the kind of eejit who’d sit there for hours waiting for the train to move while one ignorent fecker held hundreds of people up.

So a middle aged man has the right to throw a 19 year old (who’s a lot smaller) off the train does he? That was rough and he could have been hurt badly.

The young lad made a mistake, he’s human, like the rest of us…. If the ticket collector had a bit of sense, he’d let the young lad explain the problem and maybe allow a bit of lee-way, after all, he had no money (as the collector said on the video). Instead he treated him like some scumbag who had been actively trying to rip him off and the whole thing escalated.

I don’t know why they call it common sense, it’s so fecking rare!

Soupy Norman, you’re either trolling or I’d be the first to pick you up and “Escort” you off the train.

*You* make the ticket mistake.

*You* bear the consequences.

If there was an error you’re going to have to sort it out *after* the fact.

If I And ever on a train / bus/ coffee shop,and a row breaks I know whom I would like to be present Yes Mr Big Man and thankfully Common Sence is alive and. Kicking

I agree, Soupy, Big Man had no place interfering. That was far from being escorted off, more like being thrown, roughly off onto a concrete platform. And what if the young man had been hurt, had split his head and needed attention. Who’d be liable there?

The ‘Big Man’ was much larger than this skinny young lad and was throwing his weight around. I wonder would he do the same to someone his own age and size?

Granted, he did get mouthy, but he was probably frustrated at not being able to get his point across and explain the situation! I wonder would an older person be granted a chance to explain themselves??
I would like to think that a young man that made a simple mistake, (who had no money) would be allowed to get to his destination with a little bit of lee-way. In fairness he had bought 2 tickets the first time.

@Colm

YOU are not law enforcement

YOU are a vigilante

YOU are the type of person I detest more than those who break the law

YOU should be prosecuted for assault, especially if it was deemed *after the fact* that Soupy was innoecent.

God I really hate people…

I agree with Soupy & Sean. I ts not the young guys fault he was sold the wrong tickets, the trains in England & Scotland are not like here, you dont get on 1 and stay all the way to the destination, there is different companies not like just CIE here… you get on and off multiplt trains on your journey… and why would a “FARE DOGER” have 2 tickets ? Looks like he paid someone for his train journey !!!
