While it certainly does seem as though the guy was in the wrong here, we're missing a whole bunch of information about this situation. What led to him acting the way he did? Was the woman being miserable or rude to him before hand? That would paint things in a different light. Of course, it is entirely possible that the woman involved was polite and calm and just encountered a complete jerk on the bus. Either way, I know that public shaming is fairly standard human behavior, but I think a couple of things are telling:

- That no-one stepped up to help the woman
- That no witnesses seem to be coming forward after the fact

I have to assume the truth about this situation is somewhere in the middle of "this guy is a complete jerk" and "the woman is being very misleading". Either way, this looks pretty bad on the 'leprechaun'.
