100. I posted the same responce upthread to someone else

Did you even watch the video warren 46 posted? Or just going off a headline?

"Look at the beginning of the attack that is shown from the overhead cam from the drivers seat. This is shown over the news anchors shoulder, not the full screen view. The full screen view shown later on is misleading as it doesn't show the beginning of the attack, or why the driver got up.

This special little snowflake did not punch the bus driver twice and run away at which point the bus driver decides oh hey the bus is still moving but let me just chase after this poor misunderstood teenager and attack him.

No the thug attacked the bus driver while the bus is in motion and only lands two punches because the driver starts to defend himself. The teen starts viciously punching the driver and the driver is then forced to defend himself which means getting out of a seated position. The teen kept attacking, he did not stop at any point. Have you even been in a physical fight? Do you think a seated position is an optimal position to defend yourself from a violent person?

Please enlighten the board on what should be done when you are violently attacked? Keep your hands on the steering wheel and hope the next punch doesn't knock you unconscious? If anyone should be charged its this thug, he endangered everyone on board that bus. The driver was trying to reassert control over someone viciously attacking him.

If you want to try a experiment have a friend start punching you in the head as hard as they can while you are sitting in your kitchen and tell us how to defend yourself in that position. Why don't you tell us how that goes? Why do you choose to place blame on an innocent person defending themselves from a violent criminal? Shouldn't the blame be placed solely on the criminal? "
