Nothing odd about it at all, Dave - typical of
fare-evading white trash.

The ABC news in Melbourne tonight reported that two employees had been stood
down over the incident.

(Shaking my head) When will people start taking responsibility for
their own actions? No one dragged this kid to the train door and
forced him to jump - even if the inspectors were being 'thuggish', he
still had other avenues of recourse.

From the driver spilling hot coffee and having an accident and sueing
McD's to the lady who losses her kids in a shopping centre and sues
the centre for lack of security.... It proves what a litigious society
we have become. We are so quick to blame anyone other than ourselves
and hope we get away with it and maybe make a few buck on the way.

In this instance the kid JUMPED... no mention of pushing or being
coersed. No Darwin award here though.
