  That’s 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 ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    will he?

    I imagine he will say he said and did nothing serious

    would witnesses come forward?

    maybe there are cameras in carriages

      @Seagoon_ @just_kitten oh there are definitely cameras in the carriages.

        good

  You did exactly the right thing (brother is a train driver). There are protocols for dealing with such arseholes, and he’s 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 - it’s there for this purpose.

    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 that’s horrible 😞

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I am both 🤬😭

    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 ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 I’d be shaky after that

      source

      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I’ll be shaky tomorrow

        I’ve 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

  Cowards.

    If that dude happens to be fucked up on meth I could be a 5-time Australian MMA champion and I’d give him a w i d e berth.

      I’ve never picked a fight or actively antagonised anyone in my life.

      But sometimes, people want to hurt you no matter what.

      source

      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        True, that.

        source
      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        yes

        sometimes the decision to act is made for us, whether we want it or not

  I’m 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.

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

    I’ve been wondering if I over reacted but the targets of this guy’s threats were terrified. It was real. 😐

    source

    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      You did not over react. The situation was real and you handled it so well.

      source
• PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Jesus, I’m glad you’re ok.

  source
• melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  That’s so scummy. I hope he goes to jail, repeats that to a large group of the people he’s racist towards, and enjoys his reward…

  It really sucks that I wouldn’t be able to do much to physically protect anyone in that situation

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    : I’ve also thought that it’s 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

    : wouldn’t get real time help

    yup
