She was angry that two kids did not get up and give her a seat, So she called the police to report it. Then things got a bit crazy as others started, imo, adding fuel to the fire.

She has been charged with using offensive language/

In no way do i condone her behavior, but i also dont condone the behaviou of the guy filming it who stirred it up even more by calling her a rude name.

Opinions?

Everyone that travels by public transport is entitled to travel in peace, and not be set upon by some deranged person, as this woman was.

She should be charged.

Here in Melbourne people have been charged for similar tirades on trains and on buses. I never travel by public transport if I can help it.

Not sure that she should be charged. She needs some mental health help first I think. That won't happen of course. 🙂

The woman said she had had a *rotten day*, that was no reason for her to carry on the way she did. One thing to yell at adults, it is another thing entirely to yell abuse and use the word she used at children.

Like I said, had it happened here in Melbourne, she would be charged, and so she should be

Bystanders need to video incidents like this for evidence of what actually happened. Passengers on public transport should not have to put up with verbal racist attacks like that. It is unacceptable behaviour. Her being charged is a sign to others they won't get away behaving like that.

or she could just exercise some self control and not take her poopy mood out on others - especially children.
