And quite right too - he should never have got involved. The ticket inspector handled it very badly.

Turn the other cheek when a crime is being comitted

Mind you he was lucky the yoof didn't pull a blade and stick him

Bleeding heart liberals like you are the cause of the malaise in the UK today. If scrotes like the kid expected to be taken care of by people like the big man then they would be a lot less likely to take the piss in the first place.
Why should 100 people be held up by a dickhead who refuses to pay or get off.

I hope it goes to jury, I reckon he will be found not guilty.

OTOH, vigilante justice is hardly the solution. Allowing the public to act violently tells the youth that violence is fine after all.

A middle ground might be that the conductor should have kicked him off.

I would agree if the big man had been overly aggressive, but it looked like reasonable force to me. The public should be allowed a certain amount of leeway in these circumstances.

It was hardly vigilante, he just picked him up and moved him to the door if he was a vigilante he would have thrown him from the train and not waited for it to arrive at the station Charles Bronson stylee

A man in a pinstripe suit would not have been treated the same way by the ticket collector. The ticket collector should not have helt the train up and instead radioed to the Transport police to take over.

Utter tosh, it tells them that they are likely to get their arses kicked if they get lippy.

I've not seen all the footage - in reports I've read it said that the kid was abusive to the conductor and in others he was not. If he was abusive then fair play to the guy for kickimg him off. If not, and he had made a genuine mistake in buying 2 singles instead of a return, then probably not. Had it been me at that age I would probably just taken the hit on the fine and grumbled about it, rather than mouthing off to the inspector.

2 sides to every story. If he was a gobtulipe then fair enough.

Regardless of what a person is wearing telling the conductor to f-off and acting like an obnoxious little turd is hardly going to get Joe-public on your side.
