People shouldnt be so thin skinned, had the man said Id like to shoot you because you are a scum bag then yeah by all means call the cops on him.
Well, come on, a crappy ride costs bettors and owners and trainers a lot money, but big deal right? That's a significantly less egregious offense than ruining a guy's lunch at SUBWAY lol

And as for being thin-skinned, I'm notoriously thin-skinned. But there's a huge difference between getting upset when people are mean, or crude, or tasteless or offensive, and freaking calling the cops on them for doing that.

I don't think it's out of line to expect that people will flash an ounce of class and not do things like that, but that's an entirely different conversation from getting them arrested for hurting your feelings. Christ.
