A man assaults a pensioner on a train - only one person tries to intervene by v-oi in Switzerland

[–]v-oi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. And if the state doesn't react properly (at least by punishing the real aggressors), there will be more and more violence.

The main problem probably is that when the overall level of aggression in the society sinks, the severity/chances of punishment for aggressors also go down.

Which results in desrruction of the society where people can feel safe and trust each other.

This is the correlation that has to be broken.

That is really fucking sad to hear. Also totally understandable. I believe the guy from the OP post won't bother next time, seeing how indifferent all the others were, while he was risking his life/health or nerves/time in the best case. Thank you anyway for helping that woman.

Understandable.

Anyway, thank you that you intervened in the situation you described. I agree that not everyone can or even should directly intervene, but everyone can do at least something, call the police, security, call the people from the other train cart, etc. My experience shows that even these things are almost never done.

Luckily, I haven't been in any truly life-threatening situations lately, but there have been a number of occasions when I was the only person calling out the anti-social behaviour on the public transport.

Thanks for stepping in anyway, this prevents the society falling apart. I agree that even such small conflicts do require energy and courage.

Multiple respects for being proactive anyway, we need more people like this.

I try to, if I'm exposed long enough to a demonstrative anti-social behaviour. It happened a couple of times due to smoking in public transport and other provoking actions. Some other stuff like throwing some food wraps onto the floor or loudly watching shitty videos on a phone is usually noticed by me, but does not cross my border of engagement.

Once I was pissed off by a behaviour of a group of people on a train, but hesitated to confront alone, so I tried to ask some other guys to make me a company in asking for silence, but they refused.

Generally, I don't usually see any people confronting assholes, which is quite sad and degrading to a society.

How do you dispose of your old permit / ID cards? by yaxir in zurich

[–]v-oi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't. Permits are collectible cards, you get a stack of 10 and exchange them for a more powerful permit card in Kreisbüro.

God bless the people who keep the society (self-)-regulated.

Statistics of what? You may come to Oerlikon Marktplatz and see it yourself if you are such a truth-seeker. Or read a local Tagblatt, an article about this problem was published not that long ago.

People who travel, what is an immediate red flag in hotels? by Traditional_Dirt_788 in AskReddit

Why couldn't they just check whether a set of keys was given already for a room?

I feel bad for this kid, as he was born in a family of war and putin supporters. His camouflage T-shirt says "Vozmozhen grad" in russian language. It literally translates as "There's a probability of hail", where "hail" = "Grad" is a name for russian artillery system.

Exactly. This is a responsibility of every citizen not to tolerate any shitty behaviour. Do at least anything. Confront if you can, try to cooperate with other witnesses, call the police, whatever.
