Which of course is absurd, the man would be 100% responsible for his own actions.

The conductor was dealing with a situation in his place of work, he did not react in the correct way (as was stated by Scotrail) The Big man reacted by taking the law into his own hands which was wrong (which he was fully aware of when he stated to another passenger that he was aware he may be arrested for doing what he did)
I agree, it seems people are trying to make an argument that because the 19 year old was a bit aggressive and should of bought a ticket, that somehow means people like big man have a licence to do whatever they like to him.

basically it seems to me they are saying that if you don't follow the rules your fair game to be abused and assaulted by anyone who feels like it.
