Easy to check.

Does not look like the same man. Neither did the other guy you produced.

It did though seem improbable that a man with a beautiful baby is going to be behaving like that in a dangerous public setting.

Not convinced. Doesn't look like the same person to me.

Why so few spoke up for a woman who was abused on a city bus

November 22, 2012
Peter Munro

HOW many times does someone have to scream, ''I hate blacks'', at a foreigner on a crowded bus before you protest? What if the same bigot yelled, ''Speak English or die, motherf---er'' - would you tell him to stop?

There were many voices clamouring to be heard on a Melbourne bus on November 11. What's curious is how few of them spoke up in defence of the French woman in the back seat, who was abused simply for singing in her local tongue.

She was a black dog, a c---, fat and ugly, spewed the man from the middle of the bus. He threatened to ''cut this bitch's tits off'', and no one objected. ''Everyone on the bus wants to kill ya,'' he claimed and no one disagreed.

One young man offered the bigot a beer.

The majority of passengers were silent and impassive, probably wishing they were elsewhere. A racist, abusive bigot is like sitting next to the smelliest person on the bus - you hold your breath and count the stops until you can get off.

''It was one of those situations where if you got involved you would have made it a lot worse,'' Mike Nayna, who filmed the rant and posted it on YouTube, told Sunrise on Wednesday.

Might we have expected more from such passengers?

In the presence of such abuse, fired by the whiff of violence, I suspect I would be similarly silent - and probably feel ashamed for it later.

There are two problems here, as I see it - neither of them unique to Australia. First, bus riders are not lovers or fighters. They're loners, skilled in the art of ignoring strangers, masters of the sideways glance and muttered voice.

While working for a London newspaper I once had to fill a test tube with grime scraped from a bus seat and raised nary an eyebrow from my fellow passengers. Having to squeeze your legs into a small space and watch the world slip by seems to stir something small in all of us.

The second problem is that some people are nasty. They are riddled with lice and scratching to strike out at the slightest opportunity.

There are racists here as there are in France - where women have been attacked for wearing the burqa in breach of a state ban.

''These people are angry because they've got crappy lives,'' Mr Nayna said.

Perhaps. In truth, most of us would probably appreciate hearing a French ditty on a crowded bus.

Though it's unlikely we would say so to a stranger.

What a wank the world is turning into. What a fucking failure the internet is for media, people are more retarded and ignorant than ever. Violence and abuse happens all the time in society. But now we're supposed to have a national day of mourning because a couple of fuckwits in Frankston got angry. :lol

If this type of behaviour really is a problem on Melbourne buses, I would imagine that installing a camera with a wireless feed to a central security monitoring section would both deter and then lead to prosecutions of those who overstepped the line between a little harmless argy bargy and genuine aggression. It would also give security to bus drivers and passengers as real time feeds could be monitored with patrol cars sent to intercept in dangerous situations.

It could be installed on just the few runs that experience this behaviour.

Sadly we are forced to lose our privacy to counter those who just can't behave like adults.

It's not. Melbourne is as safe to live in as any city in the world. It's pleasant, in fact.

Harmless Argy Bargy ?

What a contemptible moron you are.

If those idiots WHO BROKE THE LAW happen to be Australians of say Lebanese descent and the victims were Jewish you would be screaming bloody murder.

Your as idiotic as Mopsy, the White Supremacist Wannabee who is in fact an Australian of ethnic background (part Jewish).

To quote the idiot.

"You fucken surfy meathead.

There's no doubt about it it's absolute war on the white people in order to continue the ponzi."

Your both sickening, and the only solace I take is you are a dying breed. Bloody Hypocrites.

And you call me an Anti Semite . Pftt. Your both idiotic jokes.
