Keith, whenever violence is being used, I always inform the Police, no matter who it is.
Possibly to conclude my point on the thread, the act on the train, which did not involve violence or threats of violence, should have been sorted out through the Police, not privately. The train should have moved on and the guard could have informed the Police. That's all.
If we encourage the public to use violent means in such cases, the idea could spread, but it could also lead to bitter fights if there is a reaction.
My counsel is, if someone is committing or has committed a violent or threatening act, don't hesitate to inform the Police.
And if a scene - such as on the train - is not violent, don't use violence to solve it.
That's all, Keith. End
