YouTube - MTA: Bus Beating Not Hate Crime

This dumb stuff started back in 2005 here and even 14 year olds carry cell phones and catch fights to upload on youtube and Myspace. My fiance and I used to work opposite shifts and I'd catch the bus if we were bad off on time. I'm catching the 51 bus here and watch high schoolers provoke a 6 year old boy on his way to elementary school and this older kid gets in his face and starts yelling "you crippin?" over and over. The kid tried to get away and they shoved him into the center aisle and started grinding his face into the floor while punching him in the ribs. I yelled for the bus driver and he refused to do anything and next thing I know, I broke the law. I yanked the kid off the younger one who was punching him badly and shoved him to the tiling of the back of the bus and that younger kid ran faster than I've seen to the back door screaming and crying. I went up to that driver and asked him how the hell he could let that go on and he said that he learned a long time ago to stay out of their dealings and said that he hoped I enjoyed having to keep catching the bus when I took his number down.

Needless to say I got to Mondawmin Mall and had to head back to the area to find the kid in a security van while giving descriptions of the older kids. I never found him and I never saw him on the bus after that but my fiance quit allowing me to ride the bus alone. That one up above made CNN news but we have so many here that don't and it's disturbing. I'm honestly not allowed on a bus without a knife on me because my fiance fears our bus drivers not looking out for passengers and guys getting kicks out of starting random fights to record. I don't see these as hate crimes so much as ignorance to humanity crimes but you learn a lot living in a city. I never heard about this one but our news focuses more on the stabbings, shootings, drug busts and beatings that go on. I'm glad holidays are coming because it throws in positive vibes somewhere but they're getting harder to find the rest of the year.
