ranger Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 One of my mates asked the following question on another forum, I thought it would be a idea to see the replies on tis forumI read that one of the most common fears people have is that they might be on public transport when something happens. The person next to you gets attacked. What do you do? Either you get up and do something, or you remember that you did nothing-for the rest of your life.I'd like to think that i'd intervene but doing that the chances are you'll end up getting a tankingwhat would you do? One of the things that surprised me was the amount of people who have had or would got themselves inolved, another thing that popped up with regular occurrence was people getting involved and then maybe finding out the people they helped maybe just deserved a "tanking" (In one of several times I have become involved I think if i'd known the reason the lad was taking a beating I would have ignored it, I've put my reply to the thread below ) MY contribution to the threadI have intervened on several occasions where I thought people were taking a liberty or things getting out of hand and mostly to the good, but there was one occasion coming back from the football at Ibrox where I wasn't to sure I had done the right thing, 4 lads were starting to beat up a lad on the underground train, me and my mate stepped in and threw the 4 attackers off the train before the doors closed, we started speaking to the lad who was getting a tanking and asked why they had attacked him, bold as brass he replied "och a stabbed their mate last week" I was flabbergasted to say the least and it did make me wonder if you should get involed at all.

andsome Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I keep clear of public transport as much as possible, and only travel when the kids are in school. By religion I am a devout coward, and would run a mile to avoid trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I suspect it caused much thinking. B) Management and I discussed it at length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
