PKEW! PKEW!
So I’m coming back from the downtown YWCA and this drunk stinker was sitting up at the front of the bus making a gun with his fingers and pointing it at people’s heads going “PKEW”!
The Bus driver sees this and says, “Get off or at the next stop the police will take you off. No response. So the driver starts calling the transit cops and the drunk grabs the bus driver trying to take the phone. I’m 6’4” 250 lbs. so I have a responsibility here!
I go up to the guy and say, “Hey, you don’t need to be grabbing the bus driver.” He just stands there and calls me honky and other such epithets. I put both my hands on either side of the rails just waiting for him to make a move. He tries throwing a punch, but it was pretty bad. I just push him back a little.
The transit cops show up and haul the guy off to detox.

Thanks for helping out. More people need to get involved so those losers know they can’t get away with stuff. I’m a driver and always appreciate being backed up by my passengers…even if it only verbally. Thanks!

The guy grabbed the bus driver trying to take his phone… Now, THAT has yet to happen to me. I have been hit almost in the face (would have been a clean shot had I not ducked), spit at, and suddenly shaken by the shoulder. In each case the individual struck quickly and ran, leaving no chance for retaliation. I like my job, but I am not the only one with the following outlook on this situation. Folks, be warned. There are more than a few of us that wish it WASN’T a sucker punch, that the perpetrator would stick around to tussle a bit as described here. Because you see, by DOING so he/she has just opned the door for us to GET UP OU OF THE SEAT
