Aren't you the guy with the guns and your "go bag"

That aint what his ol' lady says.......

And the "asshole" blocking the door is clearly not well. Could be hiding a weapon for all we know. He may be "wrong" for blocking the door, but the other passenger pushing him out the train is also wrong. God forbid we get inconvenienced on a Saturday night at 11:30.

you want to waste time on a saturday night being passively useless....awesome. some of us do t need it and have balls.

If you get your jollies from confronting a nut bar like that, go right ahead.

Good job by that guy on the train. It was a very simple solution, that required no intervention by state authorities. People should learn to depend on themselves.

That's not protocol. I would've loved to have kicked that troublemaker in the balls and shove him to the floor but there may be unintended consequences.

Pushing the yellow strip is the thing to do. I would've told the guy to back off as well or the police would be coming to shoot him (just kidding about the shooting thing).

Could not agree more.

Good going on the guy who solved the problem. (oh, and 20 years ago, I saw a similar thing happen, only back then, everyone was not walking around with their own video camera.)

This wasn't a life or death situation. Pressing the yellow strip is the way to do it. Now if I was late, and nobody came around after ten minutes, then maybe with the help of a few others . . .

No. Some of us have more brains than balls.

When I was I would have bounced that guy right out the doors no problem but although I could still manage it today( with a lot of effort), I would probably alert security as soon as possible.

Unless he was hurting someone, then I would intervene. But in this case he was just being a nuisance so no need to take any unnecessary risks.

Likewise. Mind you, that guy in the red top wouldn't get any criticism from me. Just applause although he's taking an unnecessary risk.

How is it that a video with just over 600 views is considered viral ?

I keep my guns in a gun safe. I don't have a go bag. What I do have is three weeks worth of food and bottled water stored in a closet, in case we ever have an ice storm or Katrina type event in Toronto.

The passenger in the red shirt is sexy.

Thank you.

Lucky he didnt get front kicked...

IMO both methods were justified. There's way too many selfish inconsiderate people out there.
