Where are the police????
ReplyDeleteAnother instance of a video that only shows the middle....not what transpire before or afterwards. This is the type of reporting, if that is what we can call it, that causes unrest and discontent for no reason other than to incite more disobedience that is anything but civil.
ReplyDeleteAnd to Tjani.....the use of the N word, no matter who you are or you think you are, is just as inciteful and you should learn more about people before you try to think again...which no doubt was painful.
So many heartwarming animal stories lately on EVG! Keep 'em comin'! :)
ReplyDeleteOK, so I have to say this about bus guy ... at first I thought he might be banging on that bus because the driver almost hit him. That's a terrifying situation most of us have been in, and fear-adrenaline shoots up inside you, you're thinking you're gonna die, so when you DON'T die you are often left really shaken and mad. But that's not what happened here. The driver just didn't pick this guy up. Maybe the driver just didn't see the guy (it could happen). Or maybe the driver suspected the guy was a violently overreactive type he'd rather not have riding his bus full of calm passengers (spidey sense is real).
But after running, IDK, 5 blocks max, maybe just wait for the next bus? And there's no way this guy ran 23 blocks. Come on! I guess none of us really know what happened but the video took me on a journey of some kind.
