What is it about the bus?

Re: What is it about the bus?

Bitch deserved it. Maybe she will act like a civil human being from here on out.

Somehow I doubt it.

Utterly pathetic if the driver is fired. Further pussification of our society. Similar to the bullied kid who gets punished for finally standing up for themselves. Happens all the time.

We're creating a society full of victims and whiners. God help us.

RTA will see him as violent, short-tempered, and angry. You can't operate a public service and possess these qualities. I understand why he'd be fired. Nothing said he had to uppercut this person, man or woman, and fling said person out of the door. Same with the bullied kid and the powerbomb.

It's one thing to try and restrain the person; it's another thing to do what he did. Don't get me wrong, I applaud what he did. To think it's wrong for him to get fired over it is something different, though. Think about the company in this situation, not the bitch.

To be honest, I bet the director of operations at RTA would give this guy a high-five after firing him too.

I'd ride his bus, that's all I'm saying.

I really hope that both of y'all realize that if someone wasn't getting off that bus, it would have been moving. No one is saying the uppercut was necessary, but just trying to restrain her would not have worked (and most likely would have made it worse because people would have been like "he put his hands on her first")

It would have worked just fine.

Yes, she deserved it, but there were better ways it could have been handled.

He either would have to manhandle her or she most likely would have broke out and swung on him some more.

To me, that's a better way of handling that situation (and I know many will disagree).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she didn't deserve it, but you and I both know as a stronger male he can subdue her many ways besides the punch he gave.

Re: What is it about the bus?

If she gets any money out of this, or if he gets any punishment outside of losing his job, it will be a terrible injustice.

I thought it was already said every witness said she started it and the police was asking the guy if he wanted to press charges.

Re: What is it about the bus?

There were other ways he could have went about it for sure, but for pure entertainment value I'm not complaining about the way he went about it at all.

Re: What is it about the bus?

I feel like anybody that has had to take public transportation for an extended period of time... all side with the bus driver.

Begrudgingly I take public transportation to work every day. I drive to the last possible stop before the city to avoid this nonsense as much as possible.

I still don't agree with the actions he took though. It could have been handled far differently.

Definitely gets an A for entertainment value though.

I am surprised by the amount of people that are saying it is OK that he hit her since she started it.

I don't care what she did, as a dude, you don't hit a girl no matter what. thats what i was taught, and that is what I would teach my son. If that guy was a kid of mine, I would be utterly disgraced and disappointed.

That Uppercut was still fantastic though.

And the reason you don't is why? So it's okay for a woman to hit a man? Maybe you should have been taught its not okay for anyone to assault another person.

She didn't have the respect or restraint from striking him so I am not going to bash the bus driver for doing the same.

It's not okay for a woman to hit a man but I was taught to be the bigger person.

Based on this video, she posed no real threat to him despite the fact that she deserved to be hit. He could have handled this differently very easily.

He could easily have been the bigger person and subdued her in a less violent way.


If we're saying tit for tat, he still didn't need to hit her that way. Sometimes adults have to act like adults and be the better person.

How do you know this?

I'd say the biggest threat was how she was attacking him while he was still driving a load full of passengers. I didn't notice that until that second video was posted.

Once it was stopped, it looked like she was just yapping her mouth.

Wasn't he just seconds removed from operating a moving bus when she assaulted him?

If he attempts to simply restrain her, she's going to continue to swing on him like she did after he attempted to throw her off the bus, but at that point there were people in the middle. He also had no way of knowing whether or not she may have had something that could be used as a weapon.

Sure, a mortal kombat uppercut may have been on the excessive side, but I think striking her was warranted given those circumstances. With that in mind, there's no use differentiating between a straight-up punch and that glorious uppercut.
