Have to agree Rich, one of the reasons this nation is going down the shitter. People are far too worried about offending everyone or what might happen when events are looked back in hindsight - therefor being overly PC - meaning the little scroats can act like idiots and everyone is helpless to do anything about it incase they get into trouble. Act like an idiot and get treated like an idiot IMO.
Gball: Sounds like you work in a shop? Are you saying if there was a trouble maker in the shop that an old shopkeeper couldnt eject you wouldnt approve of another customer helping?
Its attitudes like this that see people in need of help not getting any and I for one am sick of it. I was travelling to work one day when the car infront of me swerved off the road and hit a fence. Myself, and a trucker were the only people to stop on a very very busy A33 in rush hour. The driver had suffered a fit (from what I never found out). Being a trained first aider I stopped to help and the trucker called the ambulance. Fortunately the chap driving came around before they got there and was perfectly ok, but what if he wasnt? All these people that never even stopped to try and help. I think a lot of people are too scared because they might get in trouble if something goes wrong.
You cant make decisions in retrospect/hindsight, it has to be based on the facts presented at the time. At the time of this train incident the guy was acting like a tit, so got treated like one. So he wasnt actually a tit, but not one person on that train knew that and he could have avoided it oh so easily. So I for one think he got what was deserved.
/end rant.
