Fight between Bus Driver, Boys Caught On Tape


Recommended Posts

I wanna know why the bus driver was making them wear the seatbelts anyways. If they are not required to wear them, why make a big deal out of it? But I agree the driver should face felony charges.

I wonder how much information was not shown in that video? Had those boys ever verbally assaulted the bus driver in the past?

even if there were any past incidences, that is still no justification for what happened.

I'm from NYC, so I never took a bus to school. Can a bus driver kick a kid off the bus? Make them walk home? Or would they get in trouble for that?

EDIT: Isn't it a felony because he works for the school? I mean, assaulting a teacher or a school employee has a harsher punishment than a regular person I would assume.

In my school they are very strict. The bus is tottaly considered a privlage since we dont pay for it. Really the bus drivers are first off not allowed to let anyone on the bus unless the have a pass from the school administrator(s). Meaning if you didnt start riding the bus on a regular basis you need a pass. My bus driver kicks the kids off the bus for not having a pass. He also jsut calls the school administrators when there is a problem. The administrators are really the bus drivers boss while they are on the school grounds.

Florida began requiring all new school buses to have seat belts in 1999, but wearing them is not a requirement.

WTF? Never seen a SCHOOL BUS in my county or in fact any that ive been to in florida have seat belts. We are talking about new buses also. Nope, never seen it. Although..idk how new our buses are. But **** WTF is the point of seatbelts if you aint gonna wear them.

Ive got plenty of bus stories if anyone wants. Been riding the bus since about 6th grade (5th i rode a bike)

It's not about justification but about sentencing. I don't think the crime is justifiable, but under some situations, the sentencing can be reduced.

After watching the video, it doesnt make any sense. The boy cursed and the driver grabbed his neck. It makes no sense. He shouldnt have hit him back afterwords but WTF are you going to do. The bus driver needs jail and these kids need community service and a class on seatbelts.

the kid started bum rushing the bus driver when he passed him, how could the bus driver know that the kid wasn't gunna shank him with a pencil or crack him on the back of the head? kids these days need to control their god damned mouths or know that there will be consequences.

Understand that there's violence involved in this. I don't give a rat's ass on how old the driver is. He used violence to 'restrain' the kids, he should face a more serious charge.

Also note that this is over a silly argument on wearing seat belts. Here the school buses DON'T have seat belts, and I find that perfectly fine. And it said right there, "but wearing them is not a requirement." If it's not a requirement, why bother forcing the kid to wear it?

The bus driver also called for help on his radio. He should've sat his ass in his seat and waited for help to arrive instead of attacking the kid.

So when your kids don't wear their seatbelt, are you going to sue the school if they get in a bus accident and die because they weren't wearing their seatbelts? :sleep:

I don't think they can, because lets say the bus driver kicks the kid off the bus, and the kid gets run over, the parents will blame the bus driver. Like when I used to ride the school bus, they wouldn't let us off at an earlier/later stop not part of their normal routine, because if something happened because you were dropped off earlier/later, it would be the bus drivers fault for letting you off.

i dont care if there is a kid standing there, screaming, cussing being uncooperative that is no reason to strike the child. the bus driver struck the kid before any of the kids touched the driver. driver should be charged with agrivated battery against a minor. the kids should be disaplined by there parents. maybe grounded for a week for not doing what they where suposed to. but felony? they where fighting BACK, not startng it.

Leave that up to people who are patient. :yes:

Oh boy, I hope a rock flies through your window tonight, killing your cat, if possible.

Come on, now. Just down here, it's ok.

A few steps further, almost there...

Now that you're off your high and mighty perch, we can move on to step two- Removing head from arse.

It happens everywhere. Yes, even your country. Own up to it.

(If you hadn't been an idiot, I wouldn't have been an a*s, and no flame war would be necessary here. Good job!)

The kid's are dumbasses, but still the bus driver should be at more fault, there will always be ###### kids who need to be disiplined.

What are you talking about? The kid freaking said something then then moves out of the way then the kids gets behind him and the bus driver chokes him. Bum rushing? pls. You my friend are also one of these kids. I am too, so dont even try it.

I wouldn't, for the only reason being that I have never seen a bus with seat belts. Public transit buses, school buses, coach buses - all of them don't have seat belts.

In that case, I'd make sure I have some form of insurance instead of making the school suffer.

If that bus driver did anything like that to any of my brothers, that bus driver would be unable to walk under his own power for the rest of his life. Of course I would probably go to jail, but we don't ride the bus anyway so it's not like that will happen ;)

I think the kids are smarts asses. And the bus driver is a dumbass. They all should go to jail/juvvy or whatever. We don't need people like them on the street.

personally i think the buss driver, should have did more, the kids should have behaved themselves no mater what, personally if they kids started acting up, i would have stoped the buss, and wouldnt move it at all till they setled down, if they got violent toward me, then they should expect to get teh same treatment, the kids knew that they couldnt be touched and when he did, he was up the creek, why they kept egging him on, why they also said " your so in trouble" when we walked back there. they act up cause they know they can, when i was in school, principles could use the paddle on us, suffice to say there wernt many fights in school back then if at all. cause you knew if you acted up, yoru rear would get beat hard, and alot, and there was nothing that could be done about it, cause it was legal. now who cares, parents are using teh schools as a babysetter, and not teaching their kids disapline.

if the kid punched me, his head would be up the side of that buss and he would need a hard hat as he would have been drilled no questions asked

I think in some poor countries buses don't have seat belts and bus drivers don't care about the safety of their passengers so this situation would not happen there.
