Like the the clown who harrassed female passengers when I came down and told him
to get off he started to do the "know his rights" speach, then I thumped him,
knocking him into next week, dragged him, with the help of 2 passengers off the
train, them giving me their details if any bungs came my way.

He was a man between 25 and 30 (if you can call a thing that picks on young
females a man).
Yes I have told a group of 3 islanders to get off the train and they did, at
this point I should thank the transit coppers who came when I called for help on
the two way.

The point is that you don't bite off more than you can chew and if you get on my
train behave. This means that you don't cause grief. I won't hassel a bloke
coming home from work who is having a beer, provided he doesn't cause havic.
Also I don't mind the group going out singing in a drunken binge, just don't
cause grief.

There are ways to handle things. If you just sit back and let some on attack a
girl, for instance, when you know you could of stopped it, you are just as bad
as the scum we carry.
