Kicking a girl is by far the lowest thing you could do as a man.
He need a nice job in telling them off but kicking regardless of them moving or not would have been wrong. Probably just move to another corner or thread over the girls carefully if I need to get off the train. Are those the ganguro girls?
i wouldnt of kicked them...i would a whooped oout my nunchacu and hit them over the head saying " I said move freak!!!" JUST KIDDING!!!!! or am I? yea...i am. i just woud a tapped on the shoulder and told em to move...but if they still didnt move...never mind...ok, ill stop talking now. im getting way off topic...sry.
Opps. He did and not need ^^;
actually, yes I would. Regardless if it was a guy or a girl. That's a hazard, and is really dangerous. Common sense has been absent recently... It is truly sad...
If I were in his shoes, would have been miffed after she turns a deaf ear to the scolding, but kicking her on the head is too harsh a retaliation. I would have tried to find the officer on duty (probably the one who caught the guy kicking the girl) and asked him to tell her off. my guess is the guy probably had a really bad day at the office, then again it's not really an excuse to kick someone's teeth in. well on the upside the girl or any of her friends won't be sitting on the entrance of the train anytime soon. now she can sing, "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth".
LOL come one... kicking a person is just wrong... So what if you were ignored once just ask again and add a "please", the person might just move because you're so damn annoying... Singaporeans are really shy(LOL), so they are usually obedient and move if told coz it's embarassing when everyone's looking at you... Here, if you blocked the door you might get fined... Hoho, nobody wants to get fined do they?
He should never have gone that far. He was right in telling her in the first place that she wasn't sitting properly, but with what tone of voice? Then, he had plenty of options... To ignore her, to call the train or security agents, etc. He should never have been angry about it, to the point of losing control. Especially when you know that adolescents can be a pain in the a**. When you do your own justice The Punisher style, you're bound to pay a heavy price if you're caught. Well, looks like he screwed up. Windbell, I feel it's a female gaijin in the picture, but I may be wrong.
Lol. I'm a wimp and would never do something like that, but I can't say that those girls didn't deserve it =P I've never seen anyone sitting at entrances to train carriages here though.
52% yes and 48% no. What's up with that? Unless this guy was threatened with a mascara brush, he had no right to kick her.
i always see people sitting in front of the entrance here in singapore. they deserved more than a kick in the butt..
Ha, I want to see how long a person sitting in the middle of the street lasts, in Miami, before they get ran over. I wouldn't of kicked her, or touched her. Probably, just make her feel like shit. Tell her how she has no respect for others. Let her know that when the day comes when she leaves this safe society she grew up in, the world will swallow her whole. Cause people die every day just because they got on someones nerve. That if I were to physically harm her, in any way (slapping, pushing, etc.), that she should be grateful that at-least she didn't lose her life over something so stupid as sitting in the middle of the entrance to a train. Would she listen, probably not, but if I don't get on the train and say I'll wait for the next once, that moment will stay with her forever. Just as it would if I were to have kicked her. The world isn't always a peaceful place, so show respect. Cause one day you might end up losing the one thing you value the most, just because you thought you deserved special treatment.
By the way, psychological warfare is better, safer and less damaging. Would violence solve things? For those who responded "I would kick the girl without hesitation", you are probably taking the easiest path, but also the worst. Now if she doesn't care still, let her pay the ultimate price by hurting herself.
Were the females foreigners, or Japanese?
i think he just snapped, and went "Falling Down" on her ass. I would be to lazy to even care actually as long as i have my privacy, i dont say that i would go postal on her ass otherwise but there would crying, by words though, no kicks. But maybe it was good that he pushed her teeth in? what if he would supress it even more and come back with a knife/sword/gun/rifle and then go postal, i mean really postal.
yes, yes i would resort to kicking-- but only IF that it happened in a crowded train in the US. i don't think i'd have the guts to go through with that in Japan. somehow kicking juvenile delinquents seems more justified in the ole US of A.
Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bVR0Yb9uzs Thats a little extreme, though. This guy snapped.
Maybe the guy lost his job and was feeling irritable?
Ouch! Sucks to be him!...and her... If I was trying to get on a train and there was someone blocking my way I would of first politely asked them to move so people can get through, but if I was to ask in a polite way and was ignored, I owuld of snapped and yell at her. Something among the lines of " HEY! Who the hell do you think you are! You're not alone in this world you know! Now Move! People need to get on! God!" Lol! or maybe this (only in a really bad mood case scenerio): "Get the F**K out of the way you stupid thing! You're in my freaking way! God! You selfish people will get what you deserve one day!" Lolz!! But I would never kick/slap/ use any other kind of physical contact to a person that is not threatening to hit me first. I wonder if the man's gunna go to jail/lose his job/ pay the hospital bill. (^-^)' really sucks to be him... =P
that is outrages that people do this. In Washington DC Metro people sometimes stand on the side of the doors and that prevents people from entering as fast which can be very bad if the doors about to close. I think that girl deserved it, I'm not one for violent actions and maybe he should have not kicked her that hard. However that girl is also at fault as well as people who sit like this and block the doors, after all they are not the only people who are taking metro. :-(
GO back home ! go back where you came from. creating such a mess in japan. plus after watching the hallowin stuff or what ever that event that those ppl have
Hell yeah if the law allows kicking. Such ppl are either brainless or they just cannot be bothered(inconsiderate). I had seen some idiots like these sometimes on the train in my country, although I agree tat our guys will give way when asked. Some similar idiocracy I had seen is to stop and chit chat right in front of the escalator or at the exit the escalator and everyone had to wait for those idiots to notice it and move or do evasive manuevers to dodge them. Its simply putting themselves and others in danger or causing problem for others.
Yeah she appears to be a gaijin (spelling? Im still learning Japanese ^^). Um... I've never ran into someone this stupid but I wouldn't be suprised. I wont use the blonde cliche here but I personally would have said "excuse me". If she ignored me like she did this gentleman I would have said it a bit louder. Depending on my mood I would either try to find someone on duty or enter another car and brush off the situation. The gentleman had no right to kick another person, specifically a minor. Maybe Japan is a bit different on manners in that respect however there were alternatives to kicking her.
They're just attention whores! let'em sit where they like, i don't care. Good that they arrested the man! I hear too often recently that some psychos attack women with a knife etc. such guys need to be taken out of the public! This man is no exclusion!
No I wouldn't kick her just probably, accidentally, step on her. Sure we get this kind of rude behavior here too. In the middle of the street, trying to walk over you when you open a door, etc. Not just the young ones but also adult who should know better. Rude and inconsiderate people need to be on an island all by themselves. I seen to come across more young Japanese like this lately. Maybe it's we just remember rude people more... I glared at a couple of young guys on the train one day. They had seen the pregnant woman and chose to steal the seat. Funny part is after a few minutes they got up and bowed to me. ^^; Probably couldn't stand being reprimanded by a gaijin. ^o^
If girls were sitting in the middle of the street over here they'd probably just get run over by a car. You don't see this kind of behavior over here, people usually think twice about where they are going to sit.
well, u know society, "mind your own problem and don't say anything to anyone" cause most ppl are rude and prideful SOB's
She just get sparta'd
LoL @ triplekia Reminds me of one of Tom Green's stunts in Japan- except that no one kicked him...
Well when you ask nicely and they still don't respond or make an indecent comment I would of just sat down right by them. Can't beat em, join em!
Pull out a gun, and tell them to move out of your way. After they've placed themselves parallel to the door, squirt them with your water gun (gun was fake). Its legal, and shows those wannabe-hippies where they belong; in a seat, or standing. That or you could walk away, then run back at the door scream out loud. People tend to get scared and move. Of course, the down side of this is you'll be labeled the smart/crazy guy on the train.
Lol in my region they can't actually sit on the floor cause they'd be times the train staffs would patrol the carriages. But in cases they don't move and no staff is around to help there is always a communicator of sorts to the train control station. But so far I haven't seen the need for that cause no one would sit down like that ~_~
Since I'm a girl, and an underaged one, it's pretty easy for me to kick another girl without getting into legal problems. Yes - those girls deserved to be kicked - they're polluting the beauty of a city - figuratively - OVERPOPULATION of sexually-active females! Ah...!
momma always said to keep your pimp hand strong....lol
Maybe kicking a girl because she was babbling away it overkill, but for those girls at the door, why kick 'em? BLOW THEM UP INTO F**KING TINY BITS AND SHOVE THE PITS INTO AN INCINERATOR!!!! ...ehhm.
I probably wouldn't.... depending on the circunstances. But even if I ask them politely and they still wouldn't move anyways, I'd probably use another door or try to pass forcibly without "kicking" them. You know, it's just not worth getting in trouble, or even getting angry at people like that. But the truth is: If this happened in Brazil, it's likely that someone would toss them out of a moving train. And I can think of even worse things, being them girls and all. If they were men, they would get so beaten...
if im in a bad mood i would probably say "move or be treated like a empty can waiting to be kicked" and prepare to kick as i speak X_X
Lol, lucky that she only lost her front teeth. She probably would have been pushed and stepped on at other places.
Young kids behaving like that $hit me to tears. I had a run in at McDonals the other day with a young punk smoking in the non-smoking area ... he was told in no uncertain terms to move his sorry a$$.
Sigh* I will say Did their parents teach them to sit in the middle of the entrance and let others kick or run into them?...No manners sitting where people walking to and fros... My region, never. If they do, they get in trouble from others.
Kicking was a bit overkill in my opinion, i think i would just have forced my way through after asking twice.
If that's the only way a person learns the hard lesson of what a luxury space is in this country, then I endorse this kick 100%. But I also endorse the man's arrest, since it's not his job to kick stupid in-the-way girls. So justice has been done. Twice.
anti-loli > obviously those are blonde girls. no doubt about that. Look at the skin colour and hair colour, dye won't be like this and look at her friend around her, its soo obvious they are not local ot japan. They deserve the kick, such a bitchy, careless attitude and still thinking highly about themselves and what they are doing is right.
Telling someone to get out of the way and actually pushing/kicking them are two different things. The salaryman was wrong.
I would have never kicked em. I'm against all violence against women. Guys who would do that are ruffians. Ok, these girls might be young, stupid, not-conforming to society ... but doesnt give a guy right to use physical violence to show them otherwise. We're not in f*cking medieval.
lol, 50% support overkills... kicking a girl in the face is just wrong, how come most of you don't get it? Would you beat down your 17yo daughter for just being annoying?
here the busses are always crowded so yoyu have to make your way...and maybe when you had or you are having a bad way people or maybe you move them aside to pass trough
It depends on if she was blocking the way, if not, simply walk around. If it's a train with a small entrance that only halts for a very short time (subway) not leaving the option to call officials or to engage in extended loud argumentation... the ankles are easy to very painfully dislocate by "accidentally" stepping on the feet while pushing yourself through. It should not matter if it's a male or female, maybe using less force on the more fragile.. anything else would be sexist. As you can see from my name this a all purely hypothetical ^^;
Notice them to move politely, if they simply ignore me NO WAY I KICK THEM, but I force my way inside and I probably "accidentally" step on her foot. We don't have those kind of attitude in France, actually problems are more like smoking area aren't respected (but not only the youngest...). Concerning the young, it's more frequently a noise problem ^^ Particulary in train, speaking so loud in their cell phone, MP3 player I can hear clearly from the other side of the wagon. Most of passengers won't say anything, some ask them to lower the volume. Reaction is most of the time they won't excuse but they lower the sound, and a minority will start a dispute...
できる事なら蹴りたいね。 分別が求められる年齢なのに、公衆の面前での 振舞い方が出来ない奴は、人間として扱う必要無し。家畜動物として扱って良し。
ひまななしさん、 (笑!) Triplekia, LOL. BTW, did you like that film? Calintz , Yikes! MACdaddy, I'm just guessing Japanese. News articles would normally mention if they were gaijin. Windbell, Ganguro are usually darker.
i had seen kids (mostly boys) sitting on the floor of trains here. but thankfully, they have the decency to at least sit at the opposite side of the entrance. anyway as for the question, no i wouldn't kick the girl. it's just wrong
Oi, I can't answer this poll. I mean, if I was REALLY friggin pissed off, i would. Swear to god I would. But if I wasn't. . . . .Falcon punch?
I would most definitely kick the bitch. She won't just lose her teeth if I were the salaryman.
Double posting here! :X But if they were insisting in blocking my way, kicking is a little too harsh. Maybe turning and showing the other face... you know, the other cheeks. The buttcheeks. And then farting. Oh yes, if you are gonna stay seated there, might as well enjoy the wind.
I wouldn't "kick" her, maybe just a good old lecture like Bus Uncle's
I most certainly wouldn't kick them (I'd be too afraid that they might kick back... women can be deceptively strong) but I'd definetly tell them to move their arses in the most colourful way I can manage.
In New York City, Sitting in a Subway door is a great way to get trampled. Occasionally, I've seen people do it after hours, but it's very rare.
