Haha excellent video, these days nothing gets missed. Everyone can be a form of 'reporter' and I think that's good because a lot of things that happen don't get the attention they need to. Big Man is a ledge! It would take a bit of balls to to do that.. well it would for me anyway, I'm more the size of the little scum that Big Man
'Big Man' tackles fare dodging teenager on train

I haven't seen the video (at work) but I hate vigilante behaviour. The whole fact that some guy thinks he can man handle someone else and get away with it is annoying. I hope the police make an example of him. Nothing too harsh obviously, but enough to deter little people from acting the "big man".
The whole situation is a farce. Delaying the train and wasting lots of people's time for the price of one single fare is a disproportionate thing to do. The conductor could have handled the situation differently. I'm sure that what he did wasn't the only course of action.

When I was in uni, four of us were on the way to Cardiff on the train and it was pretty full. A group of 10 boys, probably about 16-17 jumped on, they were all smoking and drinking on the train. Everyone ignored them best they could as they were being rowdy.
Then this 5 foot tall mum who had her kids sat with her, walked over and asked them to stop smoking & swearing. One of them told her to #### off, she then knocked him clean out! All his friends ran off the train at the next stop and left him all dazed on the train
I felt bad that we were all too chicken at the time to do anything, in fear of being bottled etc
Morale of the story, don't mess with women from the Valleys
I'm guessing she was a Merthyr mum
What have we become, he has had his personal space invaded - further down the pan we go.
If more people stood up to idiots like this maybe the little scrotes would think twice before stirring up a fuss!
Video is quality, i love the part where he walks up behind the scum, stops, points a finger 'problem?' then just grabs him and throws him off! =D

Are you just angry you couldn't get away with not paying a couple of quid?
What would be the other course of action? Public transport doesn't move when people refuse to pay, if it did... less and less would pay, putting up the costs for paying people, that's 'annoying'.
Our society has given the oxygen thieves and dross a sense of entitlement that they can act like that and get away with it, and when someone rightly stands against the status quo he is critisied. It's not as if he beat him up, is it? He just threw him off the train.

That'll teach the scumbag, what makes him think that everyone else should pay but him?

If the 'big man' gets punished then my remaining limited faith in the justice system will be gone forever, he's simply doing what the chavs parent(s) never did, and that put the kid in his place.
