…If the conductor tells someone…

I disagree. If the conductor tells someone to stop being an asshole and they curse back, they’re belligerent and noncompliant, and it’s reasonable to have the police remove them from the train.

Cool, but that’s not disagreeing with what I said.

If he had his feet up on another seat, and said “go fuck yourself” instead of “no” (which is a scenario compatible with the description). He still shouldn’t have been arrested.

Wasn’t he explicitly against the idea of empathy?

Can you imagine getting arrested for fleeing the country to avoid your deportation hearing?

I’m curious what would happen if he tried to flee the country to avoid deportation.
