Sorry what?
This guy was sitting down being difficult, not stabbing anyone. Are you suggesting that proportionality should be judged on what someone might be about to do rather than what they are known to be doing? It's a discraceful thing to happen, but i can't see how it applies to this.

All i know is that this country is a joke where criminals get off lightly and people who stand up to those that cause trouble get in more trouble. Makes my blood boil, the foul mouthed gobby **** got thrown off the train that he was holding up...........he was in the wrong, end of story. May be it would have been better for the big man to have got stabbed then after he had thrown the youth off the train?
