The thing about Suzy's story (and I don't mean to single out Suzy, just using it as an example) is how easily that situation could have been defused. They could have moved to a different part of the train or gotten off at the next station and waited for a later train. Spitting in someone's face and then tripping them just seems like the worst way to handle the situation. And that's my suspicion with most cases of "vigilante justice." They all seem to revolve around bad judgment brought on by rage.

Wow, I guess I'm just conflict averse. The last thing I would want to do with a big bully in a public place is get into a confrontation. It's not like you're going to convince him of his bad ways. In my mind, there is no way to change people or even "society." I would like to live in a world with less conflict, so I try my best to avoid promoting conflict. I would prefer running away than spitting in someone's face, but I guess that's a personal decision.

I listened to him raving at me and then said, very calmly, something along the lines of "leave me alone and calm down you aggressive ****" at which point he would have genuinely tried to beat me to a pulp if his partner hadn't restrained him.
