Woman pushed onto train tracks (RO)

[QUOTE=featherlou]
In a nutshell, two law-breakers almost killed a woman because she dared to tell them to stop doing something that was illegal.

Uh… I don’t know what kind of crazy nanny state laws you’ve got up in Canadia, but smoking is still legal in Britain.

This week, at least.

I can’t understand the confusion. Everyone knows up here in “Canadia”, we don’t have those newfangled railroads - just dogsled trails.

When the smoking ban for public buildings was brought in, it was also banned on all railway premises. Basically, it was going to be a nightmare to determine what was a ‘building’ and what wasn’t, when dealing with platform shelters etc., and this was the only straightforward option.

Pussies. Why, when a woman told me to stop talking on my cell phone in a movie theater, I responded with the only reasonable manner possible: I shot her in the head and then killed her family while they slept. Interfering busybody thinks she can tell me what to do…

The OP is a parody right?

Funny, because taking too many items into the express lane is legal here, too.

Heh. I thought you were going to say you kicked her in the cunt.

I’m waiting for a report of “vigilantes” pushing a smoker onto the tracks from a rail platform.

I guess he really didn’t “push” her.
He actually hacked up a lung which then hit her the back knocking her onto the tracks.

[QUOTE=Staggerlee]
An interesting theory - why don’t we meet at your nearest train station and discuss it? It could be like Brief Encounter. With more pushing.

Will you be wearing your Stetson hat?

Now thats just rude.
I hope someone boxes you in the bag motherfucker.

[QUOTE=cmyk]
It took two men? What’s this world coming to? Why, in my day, it only took one man to push a feeble woman onto the tracks, and the other to do all the laughing.

Well, it took only one jackass to make the original post in this thread.

It’s not legal everywhere. There are places designated by law as non-smoking areas and one can be fined for smoking in such places.

'Vigil Aunties… can’t shoot 'em, can’t kick 'em in the pussy.

The best way to deal with over limit shoppers is to remove items they will need to come back to get later. They’ll leave without multiple items that you have hidden the next lane over. It’s very easy, because you can bet they are yakking on a cellphone, and not paying attention.

Holy shit! Now even referencing a pit thread gets me boxed in the bag. What is this world coming to? :rolleyes:

To be fair though, Malamutes can get downright vicious if you tell them to put it out…many a musher has been pushed into snowbanks or ice flows for confronting dogs that were smoking.

[QUOTE=lieu]
Well, it was a long push and the first became winded so #2 completed the extension of arms. All in all though I’d say they had the right tools for the job.
[/QUOTE]

I’m not sure about that…they probably had to borrow somebody’s oxygen tank too.

No doubt. Twenty-gallon variety, on that puny little head that holds that pea-size brain. You know, just so he can look tough. Oooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[QUOTE=Švejk]
That’s insane. two days later, too! Not exactly ‘the heat of the moment’.
[/QUOTE]

One witness comment in the news story seems to show that the victim asked the men to extinguish their cigarettes both two days prior and on the day they attacked her.

I certainly hope the police catch the men who did this.

…and ask them firmly but politely to put out their cigarettes?
