Default ‘Leprechaun’ who denied woman a seat on crowded TTC bus shamed on social media

http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/09...-social-media/



Quote:
After a “######bag” in a bowler hat was photographed taking up two seats on a crowded bus — and allegedly assaulted a woman who tried to stop him — thousands of Torontonians have joined an online hunt to track him down.

In a matter of hours, the search for the “leprechaun,” as he has been dubbed because of his green dress shirt and tuft of chin beard, had become one of the most high-profile examples of using social media to shame violators of TTC etiquette.

Things like that never work out well for the ######bag.

He'd better hope that people where he works and his family don't see this.

I'm more concerned that someone else didn't stand up to this moron.

not giving up a seat is just a d-bag move but the stomp and push, that can be assault can't it?

She should have taken his hat and crushed it with her foot and handed it back to him.

I would think so. Should have called the police (granted, I don't know if I would have in the same situation).

Yes, it is. She also explained, in a different article, she said "I didn't call police because I didn't want to stand on the platform for 2 hours to be talked down to by police who wouldn't do anything anyhow."

People that don't know bus edict are the worst. For being such an ass he should somehow receive a one year banning from bus services. What ever happened to good manners? This guy obviously has no idea what there are.

I remember when I was in Europe, we were on a bus and an Australian girl was sprawled across a few seats and freaked out when a local asked her to move so she could sit down.

I hate people like this.

Certainly impossible to see exactly what occurred before that video. If the allegations are true, that guy is a loser and committed assault. If not true, that lady is a bigger problem and this guy is going to be 'guilty' regardless.

I know I would not sit with my back to someone who just assaulted me, no matter how tough my day was.

I can't believe people just sit and watch other people act this way. How does no one else confront this clown?
