The rule is no eating in the stations and on the trains.
The REASON this rule exists is because people treat the stations and trains like a garbage can.
There are people who bring bags of Burger King, Subway, and single slice pizza boxes, eat the food on the train, and when they get to their stop, they drop the trash on the seats and floor and walk of the train.
The people supporting this guy are the same people, who if they rode these trains, would be screaming how the stations and trains are full of trash (and rats).
This guy isn't a 'hero fighting an unjust law'. He's a class-A pr*ck who was flouting the rules and goading the police; likely for a big payoff after the lawsuit.
I've read comments, 'he's just a guy eating on his way to work'. Try this, 'he a good boy. He ain't never done nothin' wrong.'
Thank you. If Sandwich Guy was black - Most FReepers would be singing a different tune. Praising law and order here and castigating Sandwich Guy as another Jussie Smollett who "Dindu Nuffin".
Being white evidently DOES have some privilege.
