You did exactly the right thing (brother is a train driver). There are protocols for dealing with such arseholes, and heâs in a world of hurt right now. The railways take that sort of behaviour very seriously - not just the vilification laws apply here. Remember the emergency button next to each door - itâs there for this purpose.

fucken hell, incident on werribee line, very tall muscular arsehole threatens to kill the muslims in the carriage
people crowd around the muslims in carriage to protect
at the next stop I got off and called emergency line, cops and train driver informed within 1 minute
iâm not scared, just angry

I looked for the button, could not find it it
to actually yell in a public place, in a train carriage where people are captive, that he is going to kill , to rattle his bag, to say he had heavy objects in his bag, **that was some very very serious shit **
he told us who he was
he told us who he hates
he gave his justification, ie people who are against him deserve to die
he rattled his weapons
he told us what he was going to do

Omg thatâs horrible đ
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I am both đ€Źđ
makes me so sad that people were threatened and were scared
also makes me ashamed, Australia is where people come to be safe
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Yeah it is rage-sad. Good that there were enough others to protect them and you were able to alert the coppers. Bloody hell Iâd be shaky after that
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Iâll be shaky tomorrow
Iâve been thinking how easy it would be for witnesses to not understand what was going on
just another bogan is what a lot of people might think,
but this guy was very specific in his narrative and actions and he actually spurred me into action. I do not react so easily.
seriously, the kind of insane prick who would have a bomb
tho being cowardly he would leave
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Cowards.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
If that dude happens to be fucked up on meth I could be a 5-time Australian MMA champion and Iâd give him a w i d e berth.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Iâve never picked a fight or actively antagonised anyone in my life.
But sometimes, people want to hurt you no matter what.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
True, that.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
yes
sometimes the decision to act is made for us, whether we want it or not
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Iâm so sorry you and the others in the carriage had to go through that, what an awful situation. You did so good to call for help and I love to hear that others helped. What a shitty, shitty thing for that man to do. Look after yourself tonight, you are such an amazing person.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
there was a young kid who got off at the same station as me, he was a witness in the same carriage but at the other end and he helped with details for the cops. He was a little shook up.
Iâve been wondering if I over reacted but the targets of this guyâs threats were terrified. It was real. đ
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
You did not over react. The situation was real and you handled it so well.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Jesus, Iâm glad youâre ok.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Thatâs so scummy. I hope he goes to jail, repeats that to a large group of the people heâs racist towards, and enjoys his rewardâŠ
It really sucks that I wouldnât be able to do much to physically protect anyone in that situation
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
: Iâve also thought that itâs really dumb to make people push the emergency button in plain view of an aggressive arsehole,
this is the other reason i did not do it
just trying to keep it low key
: wouldnât get real time help
yup
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Thatâs freaking terrifying. I hate that festering pustules like this can have so much power. Hope he gets put away for a good while
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
will he?
I imagine he will say he said and did nothing serious
would witnesses come forward?
maybe there are cameras in carriages
kudra@aus.social âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
@Seagoon_ @just_kitten oh there are definitely cameras in the carriages.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
good
