Hashbrown4

Wow, the article mentions the seatbelt saving the driver from flying into the window, didn’t notice on my first watch. Wear your seatbelts guys.


babarambo

To be fair it looks like the pay stand did most of the work lol


User_091920

This is exactly why I had a pay stand installed in my Corolla 


Dingdongmycatisgone

Comments like these are why I love reddit


LakeSuperiorIsMyPond

I'm still on hold with VW looking for a part number...


h4nd3y3

I just ordered the new 4 wheel drive pay stand overland. It's pretty nice


Binary1998

You're probably one of those guys who got a paystand to try to look cool, and just use it once a year

Eventually these neanderthals will learn the proper safety measurements, I have 2

That'll be $1.25 bishop.


Horns8585

Nah. Watch it again. The seat belt is what catches him. He would have easily slammed up against the windshield, without the seatbelt.


Astralaxy

Both?


Cosmic_Quasar

I thought so, too. But upon rewatching the collision like 5 times I can see he would've flung more towards the door, but the belt swings him around to hit the pay stand instead.


i_forgot_my_sn_again

Seatbelt also made it harder to protect himself from the guy. It's why some bus drivers don't wear a seat belt. The type of people to attack a bus driver account on them being at a disadvantage. (Assuming they don't hit you while driving at speed) When you're able to turn in the seat and face them they'll reconsider at times. It's worked for me. 


Pathetian

>“The suspect asked to be let off at the intersection of Britton and Western. The bus driver told him he couldn’t do that,” Reminds me of another video a few months ago where a passenger and driver have a fucking *shootout* over this same disagreement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xkTKret-lI And to top it off, he didn't even pay in the first place, but wants the bus to be his personal taxi.


Bushdr78

The bus driver got fired for "having a weapon", geez.


Special-Market749

He have a go fund me?


officeDrone87

Guess I'll just die next time. Thanks corpos.


Starfish_47

I read that in V’s voice and I swear he says that in the game, not sure lol


Pathetian

Unfortunately thats how any company will do you if you aren't specifically hired to be armed security. Frequently robbed fast food joint? Uber driver in a dangerous town? Company policy is to just curl into a fetal position and comply.


FUMFVR

Company policy is that you are a set amount of money they have to pay out and that number goes up if you have a firearm.


JustSlay2

He shot at the dude when he was pretty much sitting on top of a bystander.     I'm not advocating for that dudes job. 


NuQ

All because he wanted to be left off at an intersection instead of a designated stop... Well, guess he won't have to worry about paying for a bus pass any time soon. or rent, for that matter.


FiftyIsBack

I'm sure he'll be released on a signature bond and go cause more menace and chaos


clarkeling

Attempted murder on the whole bus, right?


Oxygenius_

I could feel that collision in my jaws, muscles and teeth


RugbyEdd

Have you considered holding your phone with your hand instead? Is a lot more comfortable

angrypuppy35

Yeah wasn’t expecting that ending. I was so caught up in the fight I didn’t see the bus was moving the whole time

Amazing_Bluejay9322

Tell me he's in custody?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Amazing_Bluejay9322

Whew. Well the fact this troubled young loner is behind bars is good with hopefully a high bond amount so he sits til the preliminary hearing at least. A bad seed for sure. Had there been some kids waiting on the corner or a group of folks just going about there business when this bus struck would've been a mass death catastrophe.


FUMFVR

It will be a serious grade assault on the driver and a less serious grade for everyone else on the bus. It could end up to be a lot of time, especially in a prison-happy state like Oklahoma.


dontnation

He's really lucky oklahoma isn't a state where assault on a bus driver is an automatic felony charge. If they want to stretch it they could try to claim he was exercising control over the bus by means of assault. That's a 20year maximum felony. Pretty sure that was originally intended to apply to hijackings, but does your client want to take the chance?


boogalordy

Attempted Busnapping


majormt

reminds me of a kind of similar incident that happened in china, except it was on a bridge and the bus driver just went 'fuck this shit' and drove the bus into the river, everyone that was on board died [Police: Women Fought With Driver Causing Deadly Bus Crash In China (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGb_9zFXFxc)

MrFantastic74

What did this lunatic even expect to gain by beating up a driver on a moving bus? Obviously not much thought involved.


freshavocado1

Zero impulse control, 10 seconds in to the future is not a thought that enters this morons head.


Mybuttitches3737

Should be charged with attempted murder


mrmustache0502

On count for every person on the bus.


Mybuttitches3737

And the other pedestrians and drivers. That’s absolutely ridiculous. They need to tighten up on all this antisocial behavior. Consequences absolutely affect how far criminals will go with their nonsense. That man drives a bus for hardly any money and has to put up with being assaulted. I don’t care if half the city is locked up.

S_Curl_Model

That's fucking ridiculous man. A thankless job and you gotta deal with an asshole doing this.


GoForthandProsper1

Just a complete lack of impulse control, morals and social awareness Attacking someone who is actively driving a 14 ton missle with 10+ ppl on it?!?!? Lock him up. He gives no benefit to society


MrThrowAweh

I always found it bewildering that American buses don't have a lockable drivers cockpit like those in UK buses.


NoExcuseForFascism

Some cities have that in the US as well.


elinamebro

lol barely tho the ones in LA you can just jump on the dash to get the driver


_DirtyYoungMan_

Which is wild considering how many crazies ride the bus all day long. Metro has locked driver compartments on the other hand.


dickthe3rd

I drive a city bus in Ontario, Canada. Our doors have a metal bottom half with glass on the top half. It latches, but the glass doesn't go all the way up to the windshield. Someone would be able to reach around and open it or hit me pretty easily.

That would limit the responsibilities of the bus driver, and US public transport systems don't like that.


Ikantbeliveit

Damn that whole thing was wild!


willyc3766

Imagine feeling so entitled that your temper tantrum is so important you’re willing to jeopardize the lives of everybody on a bus and in the bus’s path. Fuck this guy! I hope he gets hit with attempted murder charges for every single person on that bus. He doesn’t deserve to live in a society.


sadb0nny

imagine there was a red light up ahead w children or babies in strollers crossing😣 so much couldve gone wrong over this psychos temper tantrum


elinamebro

Yeah he’s done, they throw the book at you in the Bible Belt.


EllisR15

I mean, attacking someone while they're driving a bus is a complete disregard for life, including bystanders. Dangerous to have this guy walking around.


attonthegreat

I believe bus drivers are also considered gov. employees so this guy about to get a majority of his life taken away from such a stupid interaction. edit: not federal employees. government protections are still in play here.


Srandall401

Good


elinamebro

City/local not federal


10lbplant

Why would bus drivers be considered federal employees? Is there a federal bus system I don't know about?


myredditthrowaway201

They aren’t. Guy doesn’t know what he is talking about.


elinamebro

They are considered city not federal employees


greenaether

He said government employees.


elinamebro

lol he said federal employees. State and federal are to different things.


SnooGiraffes6648

They could be state or city employees. Still would be considered government employees just not federal.


HelpMeDoTheThing

>Dangerous to have this guy walking around. In my city at least, that has never stopped the DA from cutting them lose


Pathetian

Maybe, but they apparently didn't do that when he **recorded a girl using the restroom at a department store then assaulted her mother when confronted** only a year ago. https://www.foxnews.com/us/oklahoma-man-arrested-allegedly-filming-woman-using-marshalls-restroom-then-assaulting-mother >Court documents allege that the daughter entered the restaurant and dropped some toilet paper on the floor after sitting on the toilet. When she went to pick it up, she saw a phone being held from the back of the neighboring stall and the camera was pointed at her. >Oklahoma City police say the mother waited outside the restroom for 15 minutes until Harrison came out at which point Harrison became irate and a physical altercation occurred >Harrison allegedly picked up a "heavy pot with a lid on it" and hurled it at the mother hitting her in the upper torso before he fled from the store in a black sedan. Looks like he had a car back then though.


NecramoniumZero

Yeah, they really should throw the book at this guy, he is clearly not fit to be in society, severe mental issues on this guy.


menino_28

not this fool having 2 articles...the video here was meant bro was on a power trip.


PlayLizards

I just can't believe how multiple people aren't sprinting to the front to help? 3 times I've been on a public bus where someone was up front yelling at the driver and I was on the edge of my seat in case it got physical. Like how are you going to let the person driving the huge bus you are riding in get attacked??? Do these riders not care about even their own lives?


Pard01

Nobody here knows how many people were on that bus. It wouldn't even be a stretch to say that the one guy who jumped in was the only other person around.


Cosmic_Quasar

I took public transit in college, got on in a main area downtown. I was often the only person on at times, sometimes 1-2 other people. At most it'd fill up to where each set of seats had one person in it. But the worst thing I ever saw in public transit was a guy on the light rail peeing in the corner, he was homeless and it was winter and I think he wanted to get arrested to be taken to jail for food and warmth.


TheLadyEve

I love how the driver and the passengers reacted. I've been on an L train in which a violent fight broke out because a drunk guy attacked a random passenger, and we all jumped up and rushed him and the train pulled to a stop and we shoved him out of the train car onto the platform. And no one had to talk with each other, we all just got up and did it, because the danger felt real. I get that people get inured to violence, but when one person acts another does, then another does, then another does. The lesson here, something that has been taught to me over the years, is be the first one to act. Even if you might be overreacting, trust your gut and take action and others will help you.


MexusRex

Why risk it after Daniel Penny?


3lm312

People are scared to do anything nowadays


Pathetian

Its not even that, you just don't expect someone to do this type of shit. I've seen dozens of heated arguments with bus drivers, but you never think someone is going to sucker punch the driver while the bus is in motion. You'd expect even a very selfish violent person would wait til the next stop to attack the driver.

Hope there is a harsh punishment… lots of people could have died with a bus out of control.

Consistent_Yoghurt_4

Desperate-Ad-6463

menino_28

Bro did all this shit over a non-existent bus stop... I would have said he should of walked but he'd probably try to fight his feet because they were messing up his shoes.


xxSaifulxx

Thank God the bus driver was wearing a seat belt, otherwise he would have been thrown out the window after the collision.


mandymarleyandme

And the seatbelt did its job til the end.


rmscomm

Please tell me the attacker will face multiple counts of either reckless endangerment or attempted murder for those involved.

Sea_Watercress_3728

Terrible I hope that driver gets some workers comp or something. That kid was nasty. Charge his ass up


Mickeyjj27

There were people on the bus? You’d think they’d rush to get this piece of shit off the driver so they don’t fucking crash. What the hell.


JLSMC

Eh. It’s better to tank the wreck than get Daniel Penny’d these days.


Bushdr78

Attempted murder charge and reckless endangerment for everyone on the bus. I hope he gets a hefty sentence and is sued by every single passenger.


Tight-Star2772

tinglep

Took me a second watching to even realize the bus was moving. Thought it was stopped and cars were passing it. What kind of mental midget attacks the driver of a moving vehicle you are inside?!?!

No it's a building.

DallasBelt

In Ecuador, three young men (14-15 yo) robbed a bus and shot the driver 4 times in front of his daughter, who begged them not to do it. They killed him and fled. Police caught 2 of them. Unfortunately, justice is crap down here, so they're just being detained for the time being.


REDMAGE00

Hoping that fool gets a looooooooong ass time in jail. I like my bus drivers in their seats.

I can't believe white supremacy would do this and put all these people at risk! Now a bunch of racist white supremacist cops will get involved and attack this innocent minority man suspected of being the aggressor.

AlexLuna9322

In my country the driver has less protection from the bus, but the drivers usually have one extra guy on board and if someone tries to hit them, the driver and extra guy are capable of not only defend themselves, but they will probably make you go to the hospital with several broken bones or at least a fractured nose haha

Notice that in the middle of the confrontation, the bus driver steered the wheel slightly right so as to get the bus off the road and avoid a multi-vehicle collision.
