I saw kids fighting on a school bus this morning
 

I'm driving to work and I stop at a red light behind this school bus. There are at least 5 kids fighting. I can't tell if it's a beat down on one kid or more of a free for all - the kids are going all over the back of the back, side to side, up and down the aisle, fists flying. These are probably 10 - 12 year olds. All I could see due to the angle was upper chests and arms flying.

The driver didn't do a damn thing. The light changed, the bus pulls away, with the kids still fighting. I though the driver was going to pull over but he only chaged lanes and kept driving off.

WTF is going on when a bus driver lets these little thugs fight? When I was riding school buses the driver would stop if anyone even stood up :)

Because he can't get physically involved or he's going to get slapped with about 10 different lawsuits.

what color were said kids?

Violence is just so cool... but just as bad.

I don't blame him.
who wants to get shoot, knifed, tazered, assraped or worse.
he is just trying to make a buck.

well said. I have a friend who works at a school on a indian reservation. He must stay out of all fights / altercations because if he woudl try to break something up they turn on him since he isn't native american and then you get all the tribe after you.

lol nothing like a tribe attack

hmm i experienced that before

thats part of growing!

people are scared now.
kids carry guns and shit to school.

Just like any job, you have some people who care and some who are just collecting a pay check.

He obviously falls in the latter.

kids sometimes scary!

The fights in middle school were way more violent and ruthless vs the fights in high school. I think in middle school kids feel like they have more to prove vs high school kids. The whole "coming into adulthood" bit.

More schoolbuses are getting video cameras installed, so drivers are usually told to avoid getting involved in altercations. It's a sue happy world and the schools try to minimize their liability anyway they can

weird :) guns and knifes... they are all cowards and lazy to fight normally, like we did.

thats crazy shiiet, in other countries thats woop ass for all the kids

he can get sued for NOT getting involved too

u damned if ya do and ya damned if ya don't get involved

society bitches at you if you do nothing and then you get sued if you do something

Some crazy black dude like 19-25ish, started talkin shit to me for no reason on the bus Monday nite. All I was doin was readin the paper, ridin the bus and thinkin bout eating a sandwich. Then as he stands up to get off at the next stop, he suddenly turns and spits at me, hitting my paper.

I jumped up, pulled a crowbar i happened to have in my bag out, and chased him to the back door. He tried takin a swing at me, missed, so i hit him in the arm with the bar, then backhanded him in the head with it and he fell out the open side door. I walked up to the driver, explained I was just mindin my own business when buddy spit at me, so I chased him with a tool in my bag, driver said no problem, and we drove off..

kinda funny actually, just the look in his eyes when i actually stood up and chased him was priceless

a crowbar you carry around?

I get locked out of my apt a lot...lol it's only 14inches, but packs a punch, happened to have it in my bag

Our bus driver would have kicked our assess LOL

Back in my day our bus driver was a little old fellow, he couldn't have done anything if he tried.

But he WOULD have taken note of which of us were fucking around, and would have reported us. We'd have all been banned from the bus, and would have to walk to school. That mile and a half every day in -30 would have been no picnic.

kids now have guns....stay away

Jesus, what kind of neighborhood do you live in?

lol.. Parkdale aka Crackdale..a neighborhood in Toronto

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i was just thinking.. 'sounds like parkdale' lol

probably because he doesn't get paid good enough or think its worth it to get a black eye from some punk ass kid who thinks hes a thug :2 cents:

Was this the bus driver?

they kids are all infected by zango.........

I remember in my school bus we had a video camera taping us the whole time. and if you were caught out of your seat or what not. you'd be called into the office that next morning. I wonder if the school buses still have this??
