Toastie!!

Hahaha 2nd...

Apart from other obvious, That he went way out of line. Never a reason to hit a women in my opinion, but damn, she took that hit like a pro.

Be the better person and not resort to violence in any situation regardless of the gender of the hostile person. In my opinion violence, or this type of assault by the driver is only justified if the drivers or other passengers lives were at risk.

Just because this lady can yell and piss you off does not justify the type of physical assault the bus driver went through with.

Ah, Mr. Dredd, us gentlemen think alike! I respect your stance on that, I've never struck a woman... and I actually have encountered a few as angry as this in life.

However, to be the better person in ANY situation involving a man?
I'm just personally speaking of course, but I am a man of great patience and I can usually bring a heated situation down to civil speaking level of most any hot head. But if another man gets in my calm face, screaming obscenities and threats with a closed fists...well, I have a distinct line of self respect... someone crosses that line, it is on! Like Q2N2Y mentioned above, if someone is going to cross that line, they'd better be ready.
Afterwards, and in the future, that individual will always know exactly were that line is drawn.

she hit the bus driver first while he was driving which could have endangered the lives of everyone aboard.
lives to which the bus river was responsible for, he was on the job and has a right to defend himself.

that lady, talked and hit like a man, she better be ready to deal with the consequences of her words and actions.
because as far as i could see, and i saw a longer version of the video, she had it coming for a while.

could the physical aspect be avoided? obviously yes, but it wasn't.

both parties are wrong.

but it's a biased issue as there's really no gender equality
if a man let's a woman hit him he will have his virility put in question
but if he does hit the woman he will be called a coward

i don't support violence
because violence begets more violence

i hope no women identify themselves with the actions this woman took
because i surely don't don't identify with the actions the man took

look I CANT even use the n word here. but they can call eachother that all the time. remember the out cry and then all the comedians were gonna stop using that word in their acts. Paul mooney. I think Cat (forget his last name) said f that n-word this n- word that.

The most impressive part is how she was unphased by that haymaker. She just kept running her mouth and tried getting back on the bus lol.

In my opinion this thread has become a medium for people's pent up anger towards women. I think the social and legal issues are being over looked for comments like

" I would smack that women around" or " women should be hit"

I hope this thread goes back on track, but for now now I will remain out of it.

I think your opinion is wrong, I have no anger to women in general, this PERSON deserved the response, she endagered others, so I think you are shutting down legitimate responses by demonising people

Normally, I'd say he was wrong, but something about this just isn't right.

SHE ASKED FOR IT.

Justice done.

Philly busses are equipped with a police alarm..........

WHOA!! Who knows what was going through this bus driver's head as this girl kept on running off her mouth. I'm sure he has to put up with a lot of BS during his daily shift. I don't condone him hitting this girl like that, but lets be honest, if you've ever been around ignorant people who think they can continue to mouth off and declare respect when they clearly don't deserve it, you know deep down you would all like to do what this bus driver did.

It amazes me this girl still went after the bus driver after he clocked her. That's pure ignorance in my book. It's a shame, but some young women today think they can tangle with guys and not worry about a possible reaction. I mean even guys size up men who they are willing to tangle with. What ever happened to women who acted like ladies and not like men? Most men in my day, would come to the defense of young lady who was being mistreated. Now women want to settle the score themselves.

This young girl ended up learning a tough lesson, but her action after being smacked down tells me she'll continue to run-off her mouth. Unfortunately, the bus driver is going to learn a tough lesson and probably receive some jail time and possibly lose his job. (Unless however, her racial insults will be taken into account).

She is also a human and i believe women can do some serious physical damage,just like men. I believe she hit him in the face, and he hit her back. I would put them both in jail for behaving like idiots. BOTH,see?

I believe that if he would have simply stepped off the bus after he stopped it, called his supervisor and police, that's as bad as things might have gotten. He could have even charged HER with battery if she had actually touched him, and interfering with public transportation official.

Physical violence is only justified in life threatening situations. From what I have seen in the video. The bus driver was able to safely stop the vehicle.

Once the vehicle was stopped it should have ended there, unfortunately he assaulted the women. It was not justified in my opinion.
