The driver of bus 2802 leaves his seat after the woman appears to strike him. "You going to jail now," the driver says twice before throwing an uppercut that knocks the woman to the ground.

The driver then throws the woman off the stopped bus, though she climbs back aboard and tussles with him. "She want to be a man, I'm gonna treat you like a man," the driver announces at one point.

I see this was already posted, but damn.. its worth another look

She started it, he finished it. I don't agree with him hitting a woman, but she did hit him first.

I cant see what she did, as someone obstructed the view.


I dont believe she did anything as brutal as what he did though. He was obviously strong enough to put her off the bus without the uppercut being involved.


ANd if she was a teen, his behavior as an adult was pretty deplorable. They both came across as roughly the same age in their behavior.

He lost control and could have handled it differently. Plus it is obvious from the video he was not defending himself from a real threat.

Not cool.

I have to agree on this one. Although Im not sexist and dont believe that men shouldnt hit women back who hit them,,,,


I am agist and believe in a certain conduct between adult and child.


I do think this was excessive.

The woman is not a child. She is age 25. According to witnesses, the woman was drunk and attacked the bus driver first.

thats understood now, she was not a child perse although still a child compared o him

in any sense, it was still an excessive use of force

Ho asked fo da' B ITCH-slappin', she got it.

I believe a person should never use the kind of force that he did on a person that isn't actually attacking them. imo, what the bus driver did was completely wrong - not because he hit a woman, not because he hit a younger person, and not because she is 'innocent' (she isn't), but simply because he use far, far too much force - violent, unnecessary force - for the moment. (I see a lot of police violence that is similarly wrong.)

At the same time, I don't have any sympathy for the woman, though. She definitely brought that on herself. While it was wrong to hit her the way he did, I hope she learned something from it.

I don't believe in hitting women but I do believe she got what was coming to her because she started it and whoever starts a fight better be prepared for what happens next.

The woman was not a child in any sense.

I would say (regardless of gender) it's always best to block the punches and subdue them if possible. I think the driver lost his temper (understandable) but he stooped to her level. He should have just removed her from the bus.

But I don't agree with girls hitting guys thinking they won't get hit back. Sometimes you are taking chances, but if a woman is going to fight like that, they shouldn't expect to not get it back just because she is a woman

I agree she isn't a child at all. Women that age can be very strong and can fight.

So Dodo, you believe in bich slappin?

If the driver would have hit her with force, she would have gone down and stayed down for quite a while.

You bet. I'm driving a bus loaded with passengers a some drunk skank assaults me and puts the passengers at risk, broad be putty under my foot. Then, ship the ho off to jail.

A man who hits a woman is a coward, plain and simple. It would only be justified if the woman has a weopon(gun, knife, razor ect.), of course if its ones sister, wife, daughter, then we would be less inclined to support the bus driver. He acted like a chump. Now he and the city have liability issues. Woman learn to keep your hands to yourself, alot of men wouldnt think twice about assaulting you. Finally, most men who beat on woman the way this chump did often wouldnt dare do it to a man. I dont condone it at all. But to give some fairness, bus drivers do deal with many things that make their job less then pleasant, but this guy lost it because he needed not restain himself, afterall, its just a woman. A man? Now hed probably think trice.

Actually its not always best to block or subdue, subdue would require aggression which would increase resistance then more aggression. If its a man, go for what you know if its in self defence, and if it is, you can use whatever you deem appropriate. Blocking will not stop aggression.

male..female ..who knows what is what these days..about all i can say is..if it attacks ya like a dude..knock it the fk out ..now the tombs has never condoned hitting a lady..but a lady wouldn't be drunk on a bus beating up on the driver..jmo

Not beating on women is preferred.
Drunk, combative, getto skank hos ain't ladies.

She put everyones lives in danger.

Maybe, pepper spray, if they were allowed to carry it, would have been an option.

That would have made for a better movie.

The law doesn't give you carte blanche when it comes to self-defence. The wise thing to have done would have been for the driver to contact his dispatcher and had the police intercept the bus to arrest the woman.

a close family friend who works doing just that for the bus company said this also,,,,,,
