Self-appointed Long Island Rail Road decorum enforcer John Clifford was found not guilty of assault Tuesday in an incident where he was accused of yelling at a man talking on his cell phone and slapping a woman's hand.

 

Judge Larry Stephen in Manhattan Criminal Court found no criminal intent in Clifford's actions and acquitted him of the third-degree assault charge and other charges, including attempted petty larceny, second-degree harassment and disorderly conduct.

While I'm not excusing what Clifford did - it's against the law to behave that way - I still can understand where he's coming from.
