Who cares about the D-Bag he called out and whether it changed who he is? I care about the people who very well may have been cowering in fear as this knucklehead racially abused them. I bet TBQH's actions accomplished something for them. It got a lunatic out of their grill and if it was my daughter or son who was being treated that way I'd love to know someone stood up for them. Bravo to you TBQH - you deserve the accolades and I'm glad you posted your story. I get why people sit on their hands and do nothing, "you could have been stabbed or shot" - but I don't agree with it.

Why didnt the OP didnt throw a punch back? It's good that he confronted the racist, but if you're going to, you're going to have to expect to have to get in a brawl, especially when he chose to get up all in your face.

he wont learn anything if he walks away, but he might've had he had his teeth knocked in and in a pool of his own blood
What would escalating the situation do?

I'm not sure how easy it would be to find the guy, and if the Police would even care over a "minor" indecent. I'm going to call them and there are plenty of people that gave me their names and numbers who would come forward.

GirlySports - Two of the people I defended said thank you and were very kind after... If I didn't have a pressing engagement I would have asked them to join me in a VERY cold beverage.

This . I've always say #### when I see people acting like #######s. Not picking fights but I will say that your treating this employee/ person like ####. If you wanna act like a dick there's the states south of us. We are Canadian and your #### antics is an embarrassing display against your flag of a nation of what true freedom is.

This is not a the OP looking for glory. He did what was right, what any ####ing Real Canadian should do. Standing up for his felloe Canadian against a disgusting act of hate and Violence. The cops can't protect you during an event , they don't show up usually until after the fact. If we don't stick up for each other then we have no chance as a society.

I'd say it's already been escalated as soon as he threw a punch

Beating him up would've been the cherry on top. Who knows, maybe even the asian guys would've joined in too and stomped the hell out of him. Their English may be poor but everyone understands a beat down

I think what you did is awesome, because the people that the racist comments were directed towards probably had a pretty bad day because of this, but the one positive they can take from it is that someone cared, and they have confirmation that some people out there don't think that way.

Based on my experience, people are more likely to jump in when the racism is against females... the presumption being that guys can handle themselves.

Hero's shouldn't advertise their good deeds in my opinion.

This has nothing to do with helping someone who is getting their ass beat, or protecting friends a loud mouth on a train is hardly a threat.
Admitting you would watch someone else get abused out of fear for yourself is one thing, but criticizing the guy's motives for posting is unnecessary and kind of scummy.
