A woman was on the bus, I was about in the middle of the bus, she was in the back.
And she was rambling, as I have seen her do before, talking to herself about "the communists" and "the Illuminati."
Two Asians go on the bus, the woman had a fit.
She got up, stormed over to the two Asians, called them "Chinese" and blamed them for the coronavirus.
One of the Asians said she was Hmong, and had been living in the US for decades.
Crazy woman just gets angrier, so bus driver throws crazy woman off the bus, she's outside the bus now, screaming at all of us.
Bus driver calls cops, and she's busted.
Haven't seen any listings anywhere about the incident.
Just GUESS what hat she had on...

(46,373 posts)I did mention to the Hmong couple I had seen crazy lady before, but mostly avoided her.
I don't deal well with crazies, I get scared.
(Was assaulted by one who was also high on dope.)

(82,849 posts)I hasten to add I've read through, and that Archae was the only other person on the bus and didn't have his cell phone out. I'm not looking to place any blame (there is none to place, except on crazy MAGA hat lady), but these incidents go viral because there's video of it.
I'm glad the bus driver was having none of it, and took the right action. Sad that the driver had to do it.

In Wisconsin, Hmong war heroes have a special license plate to honor what they did for us. It may be in other states too.
The crazy woman should be making those plates.
