But nowhere in the article do we find the worth of any of the players' houses. Shoddy work from the DM!

What's the world coming to ?

Good that they finally decided to charge the guy who threw the fella off the train.

Not really.
I would have thought they had much more serious matters to attend to than charging someone who was simply doing a decent public service.

Why is it so good?

Two wrongs don't make a right. I feel it's correct that this guy ought to at least explain himself under the law.

Not always true... just saying.

Yobby gobby kids think they can do anything these days because they think that no one will do anything to stop them.

Here, such a yob decided to swear happily at an older guy, i.e. the ticket collector. A few days later another ticket inspector was stabbed by two youths in what seemed to be a similar confrontation.

Hats off to Mr Pollock. He did what many of us would want to do in such a situation .... but instead we sit back and say nothing. And because of that more Yobs think they can say and do what they want

Exactly.
Charging the guy is simply encouraging even more yobish behaviour and worse.
Basic common sense and decency seems to have gone clean out the window.

With respect, what I believe is the fundamental flaw with that view is the wholly disproportionate gap between an obnoxious yob swearing (which is basically anti-social behaviour) and somebody else quite happily indulging in a physical confrontation (or to use its technical term - violence).

So the next time I'm travelling on a train, who should I be more afraid of? The mouthy student who's had a bit to drink or the 16 stone hard man with an axe to grind? Which one is more dangerous do you think?

Well, it seems we have more sense in Spain than the UK.

A while back a "customer" started to frequent a local bar, he was well know for his bit of dealing, he did not seem to be doing any harm to the casual observer, maybe he was innocent but the owner did not like him being there, as too many well known druggies we popping in to say hello to him.

The owner wanted him out, so a few of us customers, turfed him out, he proclaimed his innocene to the police who came with him on his return, the police shrugged his shoulders, and later said, it is the best thing to do to stop "trapicheo",and more customers should do it.

What I don't understand is why this was your problem to "sort out"?

Because not everyone in the world has a "Not my fucking problem" attitude, thank god?

If the guy on the train has acted reasonably he's got nothing to worry about has he? But let's allow the law to decide what's reasonable, and not public opinion.
