You'll rarely find these hooligan acts on metro systems in the European cities or East Asian cities.

I notice you conveniently left out other American cities.

If a man needs a walker to just to stay upright on solid ground, nothing good could come of being shoved off a train. And I agree, it did not look like it had even come to a full stop to me either.

Train cannot move if the doors are open.

They have just as many acts but they don't post it online

That's something I considered as well. However, there's a point like when taking the plane train at Hartsfield where if your core isn't stable that you can get thrown off balance. It has not happened to me, but I could kind of feel the threat of it coming whenever we stopped at terminal whatever.

I am saying if this old man needed a walker to be mobile, then a toss off the train even if fully stopped could not have worked out well. I am also saying that if you can clearly see someone is nuts, leave them alone.

A friend and I were at No Mas Cantina a while back and this older man approached us. She got all up in arms and I thought it was ridiculous because it was so obvious that he had about 20 voices running through his head. Just keep it moving and let them be.

Come on Matt, there no way things like this would happen in world class cities like NYC and Chicago!
