8. I disagree. Everyone on that train should have been telling him to cut that shit out.

But it seems like that guy who got up was doing the opposite of what we were told to do: engage the victim and ignore the assailant.

3. The seated man could have jumped up and ended the other guy, clearly.

And I think he was judging in his mind is this a racist prick or a mentally ill person, and he concluded the latter.

Well he is both, clearly but you know what I mean.

Problem is our president WANTS that man standing to kill that Chinese man for being Chinese, so do the 50 million americans who support trump and moore, they WANT brown people dead.

Gay people too

Muslim people too

So this guy who is clearly mentally ill is lucky he didnt get the holy shit beat out of him...

Does anybody here DOUBT that what trump and his fans really want is the END of non white straight people???

read a report the Asian guy actually told the freak to stop making racist comments about somebody else (one comment said Steph Curry) and that's when the freak turned on him. I really thought the Asian guy was meek, maybe new to the country, maybe didnt speak English, and then all of a sudden "Put your hands on me one more time, motherfucker."

That guy showed incredible tolerance towards a clearly deranged man. He could only take so much, but still...

In today's world with guns everywhere, try that first. Someone call 911, others try to talk and calm and stall. Try to look up those techniques online when you get a chance. It's what well trained law enforcement uses.

something is really wrong with that guy - he needs to be arrested and detained for a mental health evaluation

18. As satisfying as decking this guy would be, he is clearly delusional and in need of psychiatric care

Yes, he’s a world-class asshole, and with his hateful and violent behavior, he’s an obvious menace. He should be hospitalized and treated properly....which would happen only in some place like Norway
