I do believe this bus driver ought to get the driver of the year award!

Here is an alternative view:

Now, there is the woman, who got socked in the jaw, playing the victim card!

Now, let me get this straight, this crazy woman, gets on a bus, acts like a total idiot; (for lack of a better work or at least one I want to print here!) and then when she gets socked in the mouth —- she is the victim?

Here is what this moron woman did, before she got socked in the jaw:

OCTOBER 12–The Cleveland bus driver who delivered an uppercut to an unruly female passenger told cops that he struck the woman after she grabbed his throat and spit in his face as he was driving, according to police reports.

Artis Hughes, 59, was interviewed by officers shortly after the September 18 confrontation with Shi’dea Lane, 25, on a Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) bus.

Video of the fight (see below) went viral online this week, prompting RTA officials to suspend Hughes, a 22-year veteran, and characterize his behavior as “absolutely unacceptable.”

When cops responded to the stopped bus around 4 PM, Hughes and three passengers described Lane (pictured at right) as the incident’s aggressor. Hughes told cops that Lane initially boarded the bus without paying, claiming, “I left my bookbag.”

Hughes said that after Lane, a restaurant employee, eventually paid her fare, she told him, “You a Bitch and Your Momma’s a Bitch Too!” She also reportedly stated, “Keep talking about me and I will spit on you!”

In a written statement, Hughes recalled that Lane “grabbed me in the throat and spit on me in the face.” In response, the driver said he stopped the bus, “and I protected myself.” The Hughes statement does not reveal that he hit Lane squarely in the jaw with a bolo punch that knocked her to the ground.

One witness told cops that a “drunk” Lane “got on the bus fliping out” and “started talking crazy” to Hughes. After spitting on Hughes, the witness wrote in a statement, the driver “did what he had to do.”

A second witness wrote that Lane was “loud and obnoxious” from the start, and spit on Hughes and “started hitting him.” The witness added, “That’s when he hit her back.” A third witness described Lane as “drunk” and reported that “she hit him and he jumped out of his seat and started fighting her.”

But yet, she is the victim. I bet this feckless, um, what’s a word I can use without being obvious? Wookie? Anyhow, I bet this feckless Wookie voted for Obama too. It would not surprise me at all. She should be grateful that the driver was not carrying a handgun; because in some states city drivers like this here, can carry and she is lucky she was not shot. I know if I was driving a bus like that and some dumbass wookie started acting like that and attacked me and I was packing heat; she’d be a dead wookie when I got done with her!

Oh, and by the way, for those who object to me using the term “Wookie,” go to tell those at Fox Nation to stop using it too, okay? Otherwise, get lost. In this case, and to this racial realist, it is totally appropriate.

Either way, she got what was coming to her and in a big way too.
