Same as I said to Omah, You're making assumptions on his conditions without knowing the specifics of his case. Just like you made the assumption that it'd be okay for the fat man to assault on the off chance he might be a police officer despite the fact that if he was he would be trained to not agitate the siutation like that.

As for the Daily Mail comment, most of the comments on that page that state how wrong it was for the fat chav to assault have been downvoted while any stupid remark by the armchair warriors demanding capital punishment because teenagers are a blight on Britain and our future would be brighter if they didn't exist have been upvoted a lot.

It says a lot about the Daily Mail readership.
You speak about others making assumptions here - you seem to be jumping to many yourself. You don't know what kicked off before the video began to be taken - you don't know what other abuse the conductor had to take before it got to this stage.

I didn't assume anything re police officer etc: all that discussion last night was nothing more than 'what if' situations.

I'll wait to see if the police charge the 'big man' - if it was in fact assault which I don't believe it was.

Love your comments about DM readership - seeing as you were the one who clearly had read the comments to the point that you made mention of arrows for the types of comments - you brought that matter up yourself. Therefore you are also one of the Daily Mail readership that you attempt to mock in your post above.
