To make it 2 against 3? I hope I would have in that situation.

If they had set upon him for no real reason they would have got a few slaps.
Before anyone gets the wrong end of the stick, I'm not saying it's OK to get physical with people without their consent.
Would I have intervened? It would depend on the situation I guess.
Yeah, I'd bust a cap in their asses:rolleyes:
I stopped a gang of thugs attacking the barmaid in my local around 5 years ago, I managed to eventually chase them off at a cost of three broken teeth and a cracked rib.
The pub has been closed down now after a guy was murdered outside in similar circumstances.
Indeed. I would like to think I'd have intervened if I was a passenger on that train but, in all honesty, I don't know if I would've been brave enough. I would imagine that the fear of being thrust on the receiving end of such violence yourself can be an overwhelming thing. On the other hand you could just see a red mist and jump straight to the victims defence.
It's probably not a question we can answer with a definite yes or no unless we have been in a similar scenario ourselves. If I did intervene I would hope there would somebody else to back me up, just in case the worst came to the worst.
Yeah, if there was a group of us I'm pretty sure I'd find it in me to step in. It's when there was nobody else around to help that I'm not so certain about what I would do.
and I'm not sure if there there were any other passengers on the train from the pictures. Certainly not in the carriage. It seems to me like a very scary moment not least for the poor victim.
considering the parallel sentence this week for a similar more brutal attack, that became murder..

The original article is nothing other than common assault, and they should be jailed. Period.

I'd have stood up, done something/anything too.
Looks like there were people in the carriage but they all fled when the trouble started
When middle class scum do this they get away with it.
The girl is a professional lucky for her because she is fulgy.
Well ****ing said. At last another voice of reason among the sea of liberals on here:)
Although I donlt have much time for Tony Blair, his recent interview with Andrew Marr and his position on iinterventionism struck a chord with me.
'Sometimes it is just plain wrong, and you have to do something about it'.
Shame his track record isn't so good as his rhetoric.
Fcuk up';s in Iraq, Afghanistan and namby pandy laws introduced, against the strong positive interventionism in Sierra Leone - though much of that was maybe about the UK Army Chief who exceeded his remit and committed the forces on his own :rolleyes:
Your fists not good enough?
I wish we could just tell those people to bleep off.
What a bunch of ****ing pussies, typical of england these days tho, hear no evil see evil:(
Whoever did I, it was wrong. Period.
Don't take this off-thread, with social engineering/spiteful jealousy angles/points.
Not when I'm outnumbered nah, soz ard:rolleyes:
