If you listen to the vid, there are others who are expressing their displeasure and backing up the conductor.

Moral of the story is: If you want to fare dodge and get caught - don't be dickhead about it.....otherwise you'll find the ones who DO PAY will make sure you get turfed out.

He could have left of his own volition. He chose not to. Therefore he was removed - by force as he was unwilling to leave through choice.

Not a thing wrong here.

This country is too soft with this type of yob - that's the problem.

Just because he may have spouted some verbal abuse (which if you ask me is stretching that term a bit far, he swore a few times), that doesn't mean someone else can use physical abuse to remove him (again that'd be stretching that term too, physical force more like). The two don't go together and since the guy was never once violent, there is no excuse for anyone else to be violent (of the sort) towards him, other than any relevant authorities that have that power.

He wasn't just escorted out either, the guy dragged and hurled him out, which is totally unnecessary and there's no excuse for it.

An annoyance or not, you don't take things into your own hands - it is none of your business.
