if he had a claustrphobic disorder, would he really be riding a crowded bus?

I was just pointing out one of what could be thousands of scenarios where the guy may not want someone to sit next to him.
WIth all the things people could be irate about, and wasting time on the internet fighting, the fact that people have zoned in on some idiot acting like an idiot on a bus is stupid. Almost as stupid as me taking the time to point it out as stupid. Especially when there is no full set of facts, and this thing is based entirely on her side of the story.
I have had my crappy moments with other people, and if someone had filmed only my side of the confrontation or argument, I would also be ruined forever, as would pretty much anyone on this site.
My argument isn't about this one particular situation in general, it is with this whole e-vigilante thing where people, like most the people in this thread, pick their facts, based on what they can see, and go full ballistic, doxxing mode to out some guy that flipped some stranger the bird.
The stupidity of this whole thing is, in the end, within minutes of this confrontation, she got a bloody seat on the bus anyway.
