Trump's America, Day 641

Man forced his way onto school bus, yelled racial slurs in front of kids, police say

Updated: Oct 22, 2018 - 7:06 PM

PETERS TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Parents who live off of Locust Drive in Peters Township were shocked to hear a neighbor had been charged with blocking traffic to illegally board a school bus full of children and getting on while three kids were getting off.

Mark Ferrari, 60, showed up at the Peters Township Police Department and said a school bus was speeding. He said he had to swerve his vehicle and drive into a yard to avoid impact.

But police said their district buses have video and audio surveillance on board and that's not what it showed.

The video from two weeks ago shows the bus driver telling Ferrari six times to leave the bus. There were 17 elementary school-aged children on board. Some appeared frightened and others were hiding behind seats.

According to police, you can hear Ferrari scream “f*** you” three times in front of the children, yelling racial slurs, calling the driver stupid and saying he shouldn't have a job here and shouting other obscenities.

At least he was arrested, but dear God, those poor little kids. The arrogance, ignorance, and incivility that orange cancer infesting the White House has emboldened is terrifying.
