Nothing particuarly out of the ordinary here. Moron tells conductor he has a bomb (in an Irish accent, no less), moron gets arrested, moron complains about conductor by saying "I was only joking. The conductor just picked on me because he was jealous of the success I was having with those girls."

It's illegal to yell "FIRE!" as well. He sounds like a moron.

Too bad the passengers didn't tackle him, wrestle him to the ground and pound the living shit out of him for threatening them. After all, they didn't know whether he was actually planning to blow up the train. It could have been excused as self defense.

Somebody needs to punish stupidity.

This same man was earlier seen screaming "fire!" in a crowded theater, before running out of a public restroom shouting something about it being all out of toilet paper.

23 were killed in the resulting stampede as he made his way to the train to get some sweet lovin' from a couple of hotties on the expressway. He actually told the conductor he was "da bomb" and was promptly arrested for using ancient slang that wasn't funny in the first place.

Distorting the facts somewhat, AC? The man never actually shouted anything.

True, sorry about that.

Not very good with titles, usually just put down the first thing in my head.

Better at actual posting (better, not good), I even managed to use the more reasonable word 'tell.'

I'm actually surprised this thread got any responses at all avtually. The only reason I posted it was because the guy's defense amused me ("The conductor just picked on me because he was jealous of the success I was having with those girls.")

This is a clear violation of freedom of speech.
