This thread is about a dead set drop kick treating a poor bloke like absolute **** for over 5 minutes just for doing his job. It's not about how tough your skin is because you're self employed. It has nothing to do with how you and your associates conduct business. Maybe you should just relax a bit and lose the cynicism that everyone is out to get you. And leaving a bar with a clenched fist and on alert that everyone is about to jump you is just asking for trouble.

School isn't there to teach you about how to life. That's what parents, society and experience are for. Not only that, but some of those are actually covered in some subjects, at least they were in high school for me. The rest my mum taught me. (and she taught me about life outside of finances, like how, money really isn't everything and it isn't the be all and end all if you make a mistake,financially or otherwise)

Nothing new here with this story of racist attack, I use to work for the Victorian public transport over twenty years ago, happened then & will keep on happening now.
Blame the parents, blame the system as it is all around you with bigotry being rife in our society. My 2 cents worth on the subject. |

We also need to keep in mind that Australia certainly isnt the only country where it happens..many worse, many better..but as society we can start to not tolerate it as much.

What's with all the spineless do gooder people on here? Who cares if it happens on a regular basis? Why should it be ignored then? That kind of **** has no place in this day and age. It is downright wrong and should be dealt with every time. Harshly.
And so what if he didn't physically harm someone? What if the guard has personal issues or has received racial slurs on a regular occasion and he develops depression, and in turn that effects him and his family? Does it mean he should change jobs? No. At least he has a ******* job. Maybe he enjoys being a public servant, why should he have to change jobs to avoid racial slurs? Anyone who thinks that little scumbag should get off lightly is ****in dreaming. Dude needs a flogging. Two wrongs do make a right in these instances.

Gotta love some of the posts on here inciting violence against the offender, yet in the same breath it's intolerable to verbally abuse someone. How would bashing him be the answer? What would it achieve?

This DH needs to be taught a lesson, you cannot treat another person like that because of their race/colour/origin. In the same breath I feel many "white" or "European" Aussies in the same job as "Joe" cop crap every day throughout their jobs. What happened to common decency and manners? I don't put my feet up on the opposing seat, don't recline my seat on an airplane without asking the person behind first. FFS, what is wrong with people these days? Cheers!

The insight into the scrawny little dweebs psyche is scary. Not sure he could be re engineered that one, seems his racism is engrained much much more than his age would suggest possible. Role model failure of the highest order. Family unit influence coming through strong.
Composure demonstrated by the recipient of the abuse, and fellow passengers is commendable. I come from an upbringing where such verbal attack would result in one outcome, right or wrong, that level of disrespect and bigotry would have resulted in a citizens arrest and all the 'physical restraint' such action requires. The behaviour demonstrated by that racist runt is appalling, inexcusable and totally unacceptable in any society. Deserving of swift and strong consequences.

I find that if that is all this man had to deal with on a train with a little wimp no threating be it drunk or high nerd kid, who could not punch his way out of a wet paper bag. It must of been his worst nightmare that kid Try coming home crying to the wife about that pfft or what about if someone tried to stab you or a mob tried to bash you or some demented fool tried to steal your gun before you locked him up or coming home after seeing people killed in a road smash and having to deal with that. Try having drunken mob call you a pig and all the rest day in day out. Last edited by castellan; 20-10-2014 at 02:37 PM. |

A non threating situation with a p ant. You must be mad to bring such trivia even up, I would of just forgot about it in 10 seconds. Sticks and stones, but names ? from a drunk boy if that's all one has to worry about you must be living the dream. |
