Re: [Melb] FSS Wheelchair incident - 2 years jail

So Tezza to quote you " It's alright for the able bodied person(non vegie) to
make derogatory comments to the  physically disabled
(vegie) about his appearance.

Then once the non vegie pushes the vegie onto the running line in front of an
oncoming train as long as the non vegie is then able to save his life that
makes it O.K.

I'm sorry I don't agree we have all discussed the stupidity of driving on to a
X-ing when a train is coming because of the consequences, same goes fo when you
push someone onto the running line in front of a train. It equates to attempted
murder no ifs or buts.

Look forward to your rather unusual takes on other aspects of railway life -
maybe its O.K. to shoot a firearm at passing trains as long as you don't intend
to shoot anybody.
