Hero or Bully?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They were treating the ride as a social situation, he testified in court on Tuesday, forming cliques and getting to know each other by name.

Oh, the humanity!

[AnAmericanMother]

A bully. You may ask people to be quiet, politely, but you can't expect absolute quiet on the LIRR. You don't take up 5 seats. You don't threaten people by saying "I know where you live and I can make your life hell." And you don't slap people.

If he absolutely has to have quiet, he can drive to work.

[mtbopfuyn]

He should have had a private limo so he could have peace and quiet. It’s called public transportation for a reason.

[discostu]

Probably nutberger. Anybody that thinks people getting to know each other is bad has issues.

[Michael.SF.]

Hero or Bully?

Neither. He's a whack job who let his anger fester to the boiling point and slapped out at the wrong people.

If he wants to be left alone, drive. Or, better yet take some constructive steps to try and get the RR company to dedicate one car as a "quiet zone", no cell phones allowed.

[Niteranger68]

Let him bring that $hit down South. He’ll be brushing his teeth in the palm of his hand.

[gridlock]

Hero or Bully?

Bully.

If you want to be left alone, take your seat and leave people alone. If you want to spread out across five seats, drive your own car.

If you want peace and quiet, buy a set of these...

For $200, you won't hear a thing. Instead, this bully tries to dictate the behavior of everybody in the car.

[SoldierDad]

A mentally ill individual of whom we can all be glad he’s a retired police officer.

[babble-on]

JClifford is just speeding away,
Thought he was James Dean for a day

Then I guess he had to crash,
Pro-zac woulda helped that bash

they said “hey babe,
take a walk on the mild side.”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

There is no right to privacy in a public place.

If you want privacy, keep your doors locked, your shutters drawn, and your ass inside.

[rednesss]

"Mr. Clifford, a retired New York City police sergeant"

Well he was obviously used to pushing people around and flashing his badge. Some animals are more equal than others.

Hero or Bully?
_____

Neither. My word for him is a$$hole.

I never travel without my noise cancelling headphones. Noise? What noise?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Hero or Bully?

"Hospital patient," had he ever been dimwitted enough to actually try pulling that slapping-people-unannounced crap down in Tennessee, where I grew up.

[Tax-chick]

ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS

The author, or an infectious disease?

[Malsua]

Bully and Jerk. Why does he need 5 seats? I mean, we all don’t want scummy folks around us, but 5 seats? There is no right to silence on a train. I hope he pays huge fines.

[Squawk 8888]

I think he is trying to fight human nature- long commutes do tend to foster socialization. If he really wants to assert his right to be left alone he should consider driving to work or finding a job closer to home.

[ErnBatavia]

A dick, for sure.

[steve-b]

What an a-hole! If he can’t stand to have other people around, he needs to get himself a car and drive.

[2harddrive]

Victim? Or VIGILANTE???
