Footage shows bus shootout between driver and passenger in North Carolina

- A bus driver and a passenger were injured after they opened fire on each other on a moving bus in Charlotte, North Carolina, on May 18, local authorities said. Surveillance video released by Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) shows multiple angles of the morning shootout, which occurred near Charlotte Premium Outlets, a mall southwest of the city. According to reports, the incident started when a passenger, identified as Omarri Shariff Tobias, stood up while the bus was in motion and asked the driver, David Fullard, to let him off between designated bus stops. Both the driver and passenger were transported to a hospital with injuries, police said. Video shows Tobias and Fullard pull out guns as multiple shots are fired, riddling the transparent shield around the driver. Another angle shows Tobias crawl and move toward the middle of the bus, near an exit door. No other passengers were injured, local media said. Following the incident, Tobias spent six days in hospital, faced “several assault charges” and was jailed with a $250,000 bond, while Fullard was dismissed from his duties, local media reported. In a statement, a CATS representative said it was against company policy for an employee to have a weapon on their property or while performing their job, according to local reports.

Bus driver has a right to protect himself.
There's a company out there right now that needs folks like him.
Yeah because he can say bye bye to that one for sure.
@gabeeskridge8291 yep he was canned for bringing a gun to work
I hope the bus driver is ok.
👍
In Deutschland wäre der Busfahrer der Täter 😂😂
Can we talk about the quickness of the draw?? And how he still controlled the vehicle? This man is an action movie hero.
and they fired him bcz its against their policy to have a gun... smh
They do call him the transporter for a reason
Strait up
Impressive for sure
@@1mmemorialthey fired him because he also shot at the innocent passengers on the bus. Did you actually watch the video?
This man had training, and that training saved his life. God bless you sir!!
Yeah. Former drive-by shooter
If it wasn't for slavery you wouldn't be a Christian, thank a Christian.
-Dont punish him. _P R O M O T E_ him. We need more men like him! ~Josh Hartnett as the armored truck company owner in _Wrath of Man,_ 2022
-Why are you still so skeptical? (Josh again)
-Im beginning to think he's a psycho! (the truck depot manager)
@@ninjaninja9954 It works the _OTHER_ way, too. Consider for just a moment that he mightve been the target in a drive-by one too many times. Just 'cause someone's from the 'hood doesn't automatically make them a gangster
He may have lost his job, but he's alive, so im grateful. This situation shows exactly how little employer’s value their employees and how little their lives matter to them. Jobs like bus transportation can be dangerous, and the companies should offer training in lethal defense.
How u know he lost his job?
Anybody can have a gun license..to defend yourself..u can't lose ur job..u have to go to court.. someone put a gun at u how u feel about it
@@oaktown8905 He lost his job, they reported it.
@@oaktown8905 THE! RULE! IS! No! GUNS!
@@MONTIQUEDOLLARD He was obviously carrying because the city bus is dangerous & he needs to protect himself. Hell with the rules, the suits aren’t the ones in harm’s way.
Drivers response time is impeccable. Amazing!
Nah, the criminal survived.
Driver saw him through camera or mirror, was ready for him
I said that too. The dude was smiling and laughing assuming he was about to catch the driver slipping and kill him, but the driver was prepared.
His a complete retard for firing backwards as the guy was running away. The big boy sitting in the front could've easily caught a bullet. And then later on he kept shooting to the back while other people were there. Complete idiot
@V. P. N On god!
That driver did an unbelievable job, winning a gunfight while driving a bus. Wow !
I mean the bus did go onto the pavement and had somebody been walking on it at the time it could have been very different.
Not blaming the driver, he could have been shot and killed had he not fired.
Fair play to the driver if he saw the road and pavement clear and made a smart decision to let go of the wheel.
You make no sense at all 😢
Yeah, he did veer right. I mean, common. You’re a professional driver. Keep it on the road. I see why he was fired. Totally unprofessional.
@Inabadtrip you cant be that dumb 🤣 unprofessional when someone tried shooting the driver which would have caused more problems possibly hurting people fr. Instead of him doing his best to control the bus and stop a shooter.
Like seinfeld episode when Kramer talks about gun fight while making all the stops.
Bro thought he was real tough until the driver almost split his dome
😂😂😂😂
I was like dammmmmn!

Surprised
Just blacks being black
I stand with the bus driver. Hard working Americans just trying to work and do the right things and we’re dealing with all this lawlessness and criminals being rewarded for it and it’s beyond tiresome and scary and more Americans who abide by the law are going to stand up for themselves like this driver did💪🏼🫶🏼👍🏼
We need all Americans to arm themselves and stand up everytime and crime will be non existent in a few years, they only try victims, victims dont have guns or heart to defend themselves
@@Joel-qz6sd it’s self defense if I’m working and you threaten my life first.

@@Real_Talk_Ent Stibby heab donga?
That bus driver was straight up prepared.
Do what you gotta do
I hate to see someone get fired for doing the right thing. The driver has the right to defend himself and save his own life. The fact that he was terminated with all the surveillance evidence of how this incident went down is absolutely absurd.

Insurance/liability reasons no doubt. Most likely wasn't supposed to be carrying, though I can understand why he did.
lol nahhh the city will claim during those 8 hours you are their property.
@@dannylengyel5830 good he did, otherwise he'll probably be dead by now.
It's also for his safety. Who knows who that gang banger knows

He lost his job? Are you serious
Shouldn't have lost his job at all. I wish more employees in public did carry. I'd feel safer
Brinks will hire him on the spot to protect their money with his life.
@@canadianwildlifeservice8883 dang, that sux lol
I hope that David did not lose his job, but he return there once he is neurologically cured, even though that thug is not yet dead.

He had a big ole smile on his face as he walked up to assert his dominance on that driver.... that smile turned to a frown REAL FAST.
He turned his smile upside down. 😊☹
yea he was feeling a big ol adrenaline rush right there
I'll bet he somewhere bleeding to death that's if he survived
Hope he's got his dick in the dirt.
I worked as a city bus driver for 5 years , the worst job I ever had , not job itself , but dealing with thugs , drunks and junkies all day long … never again
This bus driver is a straight badass… mag dumps while driving the bus and doesn’t wreck it! Give that man an award not punishment
Lmfao I was just telling my other coworkers this. Dude has a fire fight and doesn’t even crash he even manage to bring the bus safely to a halt eventhough it went up the curb
GANSTA
@@TheMrDariusHe also secured his Bus and got off with his Gun in his Hand. That other Dude picked the right Bus and Driver on the wrong Day.
and slowly parked it lmao
Thats just it emptied his mag. Even after the guy got off the bus. At that point he was no longer ger a threat he will be lucky if they don't prosecute him for aggravated asdault. One should know your laws. He panicked and if your going to protect yourself you don't get to shoot as they are running away.
Full solidarity with the driver.
FULL
@@markhancockhecox i’m just glad nobody got hurt passengers and the driver
I was a bus operator for 2 and a half years. The way he was able to control a commercial vehicle. And be involved in a shootout. Is beyond me. That isn't easy to do. Very difficult on so many levels. I hope the driver is doing well. After this incident.
He was a super pro at doing it too.. Taking the bad guy down was epic.
@@thomasgriffin8269 what you mean taking the bad guy down he ran away
Sadly he got fired which is yet another reason we need to update our labor laws in America. You have every right to carry a gun and defend yourself with said gun and if a company fired you for protecting yourself that company needs to be liable and charged for malicious termination and sued until they go bankrupt
I hope the bus is ok as well.
You are just a bad driver. he ran off the road. could have killed 30 kids while driving on the sidewalk... bullets fly long ways away.. He could have just gave the man all the precious 45 dollars he had in the buss and avoid a shootout. but hey in murica you are free to murder people. here in europe you would go to prison for shooting someone like that. and you would get extra 5 years for shooting him in the back on outside of the buss... its a miracle nobody else caught a stay bullet.
Shocked when my mom told me this happened to him, but I’m glad he’s ok. Unfair he got fired for defending himself, that man has a family to look after. Really hope David sues the hell outta them
You kno him?
Did he sue them and did he win? And whats your number?
He busted his gun hood like 😂
Your mom’s a man?
This driver performed outstandingly. He saved the lives of his passengers. Apart from the award, the city should recognize his bravery and be promoted
The perps were only 2 on the bus.
Yes, that bus operator also needed to protect himself. He was in control of his bus, and rightly so, as the man in charge.
There was only one other person on the bus
You're stupid..!
He literally almost murdered big dude in the front seat.
@@zach6634 Thank you for your additional update. But to whom you are referring to that shot those 2 stray bullets at the rear of the bus, the operator or the thug?
the bus driver did the right thing by defending himself
@@SuAmigoElilegal Not at all, he was defending himself !
HE SURE DID!!! AND I'M A PASTOR. GOD, HAS HIS WAY.
@@captainkeyboard1007 captain keyboard. Name says it all.
I don't know if it's confirmed that the passenger initially wanted to be let off the bus, but if that's the case the driver should have let him off.
The person the driver was shooting at was next to innocent people. Yet the driver continued to fire not caring if he hit an innocent person.
@@nuttysquirrel8816
That's an odd way to ask to be let off the bus. Sounds like something the mainstream media would make up in order to make the guy defending himself look like the bad guy.
This dude needs a promotion, not only did he deal with the threat but actually still drove the bus untill he could safely stop
He got fired lol. Against policy to have a weapon on the bus. Despite the fact he clearly needed it.
Good analogy for gun control.
Maybe he's happy driving a bus, sure beats sitting in an office. Least he gets to bust caps, breaks up the day!
I think you should find the full video
Exactly, I'm wondering if he's had military training because he was so calm and in control
The bus careened onto the sidewalk, potentially putting pedestrians at risk so what video were you watching??
Hope the bus driver makes a full recovery and is granted an award for his bravery
He got fired for violating the company's no-weapons policy and could possibly face federal charges for having a firearm in a commercial motor vehicle

If the other people were just innocent bystanders then that bus driver deserves to never own a firearm again and should be fired. Passenger commercial drivers license taken away

Yes way to go driver. I'm sure the girl running for her life appreciate him firing in her direction after he decided to leave the bus and keep shooting.
@@olorin1710 nooo LOGIC BRO
@@raunchhall3215 video shows shooter not engaging what so ever with passenger. only pointed gun in direction of driver. When bus comes to stop shooter and driver get out. Shooter crawls and walks over passenger. Never seeming in threatening way. Seem like shooter's target was bus driver. Not hostage nor retaliatory situation with passenger. It is fine for you to say what if? and create other scenarios. Personally I wouldn't be so willing embrace martyrdom for this petty situation.
This was really fantastic. The driver should be given a medal and promoted to teach other drivers to defend themselves like this.
Unfortunately he was fired. This happen in the Charlotte NC
Why do people say they deserve a medal? For what? lmao

What chu mean?? The garbage just blew away towards someone else's yard. 😅
Good for you bus driver. I'm so proud of you taking up for yourself. People nowadays think they can just do any harm to you and it's OK. No it's not you take care of yourself in any way you can
isn't being a hooded, cowardly gangster cool? aren't guns fun? thanks rap for promoting this crap over the last 30 years. black on black crime has skyrocketed, blacks often live in daily terror as gangs roam their neighborhoods brutalize their neighbors over "territory" and control. meanwhile rappers continue to glamorize this culture of terror, this thug mentality, teaching young men that pursuing wealth at all costs, ridiculous posturing and violence is what being a man is all about.
and of course the wonderful, clueless left applauds rap for it. can't criticize black gangsters and predators. that's racist. in a world gone mad sanity is rejected and demonized.

The shooting victim was in critical condition after the gunfire around lunchtime Tuesday, police said.
A man walked into Tony’s Place, a carryout at 14th and H streets NE at about 12:45 p.m., and got into some type of argument with the employee, Cmdr. Kevin Kentish said. He pulled out a gun and shot the worker several times''
Nono buddy, that's just America
Only in America 😂
Just like their schools, this situation definitely needs more guns. They should have armed guards on all the buses. And probably build sniper towers in all bus stops.
Its not the world its MURICA
Give this man a key to the city don’t punish his success at defending himself
Good for the bus driver for protecting himself. I'm tired of seeing innocent people becoming victims when they are just doing their jobs. That bus driver will be reprimanded and fired and I'm sure he doesn't get paid enough to deal with those type of crazy people. Someone start a gofund me for him so that he can give that dangerous job up and recover from his gun wound.
Get a Lawyer and sue away the blues.
At least he's alive. You can always get another job. Or better yet, start your own business and reduce the risk of this happening. The driver must have had spidey senses to know that was about to happen. It might be time to put the drivers in a bullet proof bubble.
Start one please

Maybe a raise and the healthcare part, I'm not sure defending his life warrants a medal and a key to the city, considering it was just him and maybe one more passenger.
But for 100% certainty what I can say is he deserved his job and he didn't deserved to get fired for what he did! America is really going to hell with all the Anti-Gun Nuts, that just because you used a gun regardless if it was justified or not, the Justice System has to do everything to destroy your life!
This guy was on point, kept safely driving the bus, well aware of his surroundings, took care of any threats to his passengers and himself. How could you possibly handle this situation any better? I wish I had the money to hire him as my driver!

Bad on bus driver for willing shooting at innocent bystanders.
@@firstlast9292 when some1 points a gun at you, remember your own words 👍
Having no weapons on your person is a terrible company policy in this day and age. Your drivers should not only be able to protect themselves, but also passengers
That passenger was counting on the driver following policy. Im glad he didn't.
Yes, but not just "any" employee should be allowed to use a gun, I know a lot of fellow gun owners that I wouldn't want to be anywhere near should they need to defend themselves, as I am sure just about everything but the threat will have holes in it, including me. If they are in public service, by which I mean, they work around members of the public, like a bus driver, then they should have to qualify to the same firearm proficiency standards as the state police in orde to be able to carry. By flat out banning weapons, then potentially untrained employees are going to be running around with guns. If you give them a path to carry through training, then less chances you'll have random employees carrying, and the ones that do carry are trained just as well as the police, making sure the public is better protected.
Fortunately we don't have guns in the UK except for some police, the army and some farmers. I'm very glad that people can't fire hot metal into each other.
wtf?? So what jobs would NOT require a gun in your world?
Teachers with guns, Bus drivers with guns, I guess even pizza delivery couriers should have guns right?
What a mad world.
Imagine having to train every bus driver how to use a gun because the nation is so unsafe and not realizing something is very wrong with that.
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 Somethign is very wrong with the nation being unsafe, but since we do have so many guns out and about, people do need to be able to defend against those guns, if they chose to do so, with proper training. Until the crime rate drops down. Not saying Bus Drivers and stuff in every city should be armed, but in certain cities where gun violence is high, Chicago, Houston, etc, then yeah. Now, teachers, are a different story, they should be able to take the training to use a firearm, and keep it locked nearby, just due to the insane rise in school shootings.
That's an A+ bus driver, hope he keeps his job. The policy should allow bus drivers to carry. Hope he makes a full recovery.
Got fired
@@Kevin-f8v8r That's not right, they are asking these people to go dangerous neighborhoods picking and dropping off sketchy people all day and they can't protect themselves.

Except for the fact he fired into the back of the bus, while there were others huddling with the perp. Easily could've killed a civilian.
@@xBlacklove yup
No...he's not at all well trained. He fired all rounds single-handed. I think his reaction skills were exceptional though.
Opened fire outside the bus into the general direction of potentially anyone nearby. Failed gun safety 101 = think before shooting, this definitely applies once the immediate threat is lessened.
If you think I'm "too much" wait till you see wtf a lawyer can do to you in a court room counting down a scene by the second.
If in your self defense your round ends a childs life nearby guess what, game over for you.
I understand the driver was afraid for his life, but, he blasted away indiscriminately. The
Bus had other passengers abroad and not only that, he popped a few more off outside the bus.
He should have just handed the money over if he was about to be robbed. Instead of putting innocent members of the public in danger. Its not the wild west.
Bus Driver handled situation even better than law enforcement. Didn't even flinch shooting away that little b*tch WHILE DRIVING A FREAKING BUS!
And then walked out, chased him and scared him off like a real/respectable gangster. The b*tch ran away with his tail in between his legs as he knew he got owned.
The bus driver needs to be promoted to police commissioner. Hats off to you sir from Australia!
Bus driver getting fired for this is exactly why these buses get robbed like that!
Everyone is in support of the driver. He saved his life by being alert to the danger that passenger posed.

I feel you bro im a truck driver and lost 2 jobs because I have a gun america don't understand criminals don't obey laws that why we needs to carry a gun on us no matter were we work because if stuff like this as you see that sigh say no gins on the bus criminals look at that sigh as a green light to commit crimes
Wow, that's messed up. Workers should have the right to protect themselves.
100% 👏
Bus drivers maybe but not taxi drivers most of them are scumbags
Uber driver here. I'd rather lose my job than my life so honestly could care less what Uber's policy is as it doesn't supercede my rights as an American citizen to be able to defend myself.
Give that bus driver a Medal of Freedom and a hefty raise in pay!!
Didn't even wreck the bus! Well done.
I found this just as interesting as the video in Africa of the defensive driver thwarting am bush!
Other than the bullet holes...
Adds character.
Except for the part where he shot at innocent passengers, repeatedly, like when the suspect was crawling over them trying to get away. I live here and with the nuances of our self defense laws he's lucky to not be getting charged himself with that reckless shooting. Idk abt the veracity but it was reported locally that he locked them all in there and wouldn't let them off too which is what started the whole situation and shot at them again while they were trying to open the door. If it was me on that bus and that man locked me in and shot me while trying to mag dump into someone already running away I'd raise hell and want accountability. Both the driver and the suspect were an issue.
Great job. Give that man a raise, a bonus, and the executive parking spot for the duration of his employment.
They fired him... What a shame
Good job bus driver ❤I hope the bus driver is ok
I hope the bus driver is okay too. These juvenile delinquents are something else. He was bullying the bus driver, tooting his gun around. Karma came with the quickness!!!!
That bus driver deserves a medal
It thrills me to death that people are finally standing up for themselves and their own safety 😁😎
They fired him
People always have, you dunce. 🤦🙄
Mate, it's only necessary because your country has a gun problem and a weird mentality when it comes to guns. Your country should grow a brain.
@@sikozen I would rather be fired and alive than dead and having people go "well at least he followed policy"...
@@XxViciousxX Absolutely! Shouldn't have to choose between your life and your job though. We have some of the weakest, most offended, spineless and pathetic companies and leaders in the world today!
We have The Transporter, The Mechanic, now The Busdriver
I hate these companies that don’t allow there employees to protect themselves, you’d rather see victims than people standing up for themselves
Fact
I can't believe how that bystander just disappeared and made it out like a chubby Ninja
I'll hire the driver.
exactly. move to utah and i'll give him a driving job. hope for a quick recovery.
Very low standards I see
@@Fony_turgeson Was he supposed to just roll over and let himself get killed?
You stupid piece of trash lol 🤡
I'd hire him as well
@@Fony_turgesonyes I'm sure you can drive a bus while returning fire, mag dump reload all while pulling the bus to a stop safely and not hitting anyone other than the goon who tried to literally assassinate you as you where driving. Sure thing skippy.
Makes me cry to see that older man clutch to his chair like that and that woman that got pushed off the bus like she don't matter, this bus driver is a hero, god knows what would have happebed to them if that driver wasn't so brave.
Driver should file a lawsuit against CATS for creating an unsafe work environment.
Dude lost his job, but earned his man card.
Well glad that guy was able to defend himself, fuc that stupid policy.
Awesome job driver! Hire that man as a body guard, security guard or police officer. Tired of the thugs.
The Driver is an Honest Worker , earning the daily Bread for his Family .
His response was amazing .
He is a Hero !
yep but he was fired for having a gun that's how the world thanks people like him
I just want to say congratulations to the bus driver for protecting the people on the bus and himself.
That bus driver deserves a medal and a raise. Praying for that driver 😊
He got fired :(
Can you explain to me why he deserves a medal ? What for exactly ?
Self-defense ?
He was not protecting any other (if at all, it was rather the opposite) and his ‚control-abilities‘ of the bus were minimal to non-existent. He just continued driving and then stopped.
I personally think it was ok for him to defend himself, because the situation is as evolved as it is in this country, but don’t see any heroism in here. What I see is consequence.
I also see control. He seems to not break a sweat during the shooting.
Imagine if it was Ur dad that was attacked it would be nice that he dint defend back and get f uped@@pan6593
the driver made his mind up.. he was going home that day.. i respect him for it
wow, FIREdD, wth! that's crazy, the driver even controlled the bus after and didn't crash and pulled it to a stop. Great bus driver! He should definitely get a promotion or bonus. He kept everyone safe and defended himself against a FATAL assault. The company should be ashamed of themselves for firing him. Good stuff Fullard, God's got your back!
He a hero
What video are you all watching? The driver put the 2 passengers in danger by not deescalating whatever this situation was about that the driver should never have been in. By involving them in a possible accident with a innocent person walking, with another vehicle/structure, or flipped over the bus over. But, the driver then proceeds to shoot 3 more times on the bus before the rear door opened. And on top of all of that, then the driver shot 1 more time at the guy when he was off the bus which he could've struck an innocent person. This was reckless!
Time to identify the people and the policies who let this man be fired.
I hope that this man who drove the bus sues the bus driving agencies and individuals that were responsible for defamation of his good moral standing and capacity as a citizen of this country.
That criminal... I wish him and unpleasant and speedy end.
@@Blacks4Trump2024
Fixed!
He is a hero!
@@disguiseddv8ant486 deescalating? That kid was about to murder him for not breaking the rules at his job. I am a bus driver, my brains would have been against the window because we don’t allow unauthorized stops either. I deserve that because why exactly?
Bullet proof window in a bus !! what kind of a $hithole of a country we live in 😢
Welcome to new Haiti
Bus driver held his own! Well done
It seems to be against policy to defend oneself no matter where one is nowadays. Criminals can do whatever they want with no fear of jail. Props to the driver for defending himself
Only illegal to defend yourself if you are white.
I was an over-the-road driver 1991-2018 and none of the companies I drove for allowed us to have firearms. I only know of one company that does and I'm not saying due to their drivers' safety.
@donotneed2250 I drove tow truck for a decade. I carried the entire time, policy was irrelevant
@@Sarcastrophus, as stupid as people act today I don't blame you.
@@Dead_Goat : That's exactly what's happening in France.
If the attacker is black or north african or arab, or a muslim, and you defend yourself and hurt your attacker, the leftists and their news media, the centrists and their news media, and the justice system will try to prove that it's racism or Islamophobia.
There is a risk that you will be convicted.
Not only did he draw from the drop while driving but he actually put hits on him. That was a wild ride indeed.
Ok u watch too much asp
@@obeii1805 ok you comment pointless things
@@obeii1805lol tool
Every busdriver for that company should look for a better job.
Too much violence in the U.S. I have never seen this anywhere else in the world and I’ve travelled a bit.
Handled his business 🔫 and safely parked the bus 🚍 this man deserves an award 🎉
I agree with you, for I believe that the bus operator should have defended by his transit agency, not persecuted.
MAD RESPECT for the driver! 👏
What is sad is the bus driver got fired for defending and saving himself. By the video, it is clear that his life was in danger and he was being threatened. I really hope he gets a better job.
I wish to join hands with you on this one. I am feeling solemn about this whole thing while I live in New York.
This country is really going in a downward spiral to hell with all the Anti-Gun Nuts in this country!
Had that dude crawling like he was in basic training😂
Well done driver, if I lived in America I would feel alot safer riding the bus with you. Give the driver a raise and a medal.
Hell yeah. I live here and trust me, a handgun keeps the honest people honest
He was fired
@@aidenprintup4547 What? just for protecting himself. The bus company should be ashamed. We need to protest now and help him get his job back. Anyone know which company he worked for and the address. I would love to send a few thousand letters to them.
America allows guns in unfortunate circumstances! Most other nations don't which is how it should be
I'm sure the make and female passengers on that bus during that shootout feel the same way you do lmao
As a transit driver for the past 15 years, it’s nice to see a driver finally fight back instead of being a victim like we have been lately on the news. Makes us look weak!! But personally, I would have never brought a gun to work considering how cut throat these transit companies are and quick to fire you over the smallest things. I knew he would lose his job over this, but hey, just imagine if he didn’t have his gun on him.
I'm a Transit Operator 23 years the transit companies instead of firing this guy should look into how they could have made their operator safer such as actual bullet proof thick glass to cover the entire driver area
Actual police rides and/or monitoring busstops to intercept potential altercations
@@lovefaith1714 23 years? Much respect sir! Well I don’t know about your company, but up until 7 or 8 years ago we had zero protection. They finally installed the booth protection glass as shown in the video. My company is way to cheap to invest in bullet proof glass. In the city, many officers ride the buses to make sure nothing pops off, I think they should start doing that everywhere. But then again, there can only be so many of them riding the bus, they can’t ride each one. To be honest, and this is the hardest thing for me to do even after all these years, is to gulp down my pride and don’t argue. I guess that’s the only option we have as drivers.
He probably knew this was coming.
Your comment means better than "toughing" it, including the spit on the chest. Being attacked by a ruthless passenger is no joy on the job.
God bless this driver defending himself and the other passengers in the bus.
But he was shooting a gun at the passengers... How is shooting at the passengers on the bus considered defending them?
@@DicklessHipster he shot at A passenger on the bus, big difference
@@Spagbolmofo Handguns aren't very accurate and the other passengers were in his direct line of fire. You can even see him hiding behind another passenger before opening the door and fleeing.
I highly doubt he was concerned about the passengers moreso than himself
Alfie your an idiot he was shooting at the dude right next to other passengers the last thing he cared to protect was anyone but himself don’t make it out like he’s some hero when he’s not
I wish I owned a company just so I could give him a new job! Controlling that bus while in a life or death shootout is amazing
I bet that passenger won't ride that bus route again.
The bus driver took care of business an saved lives for that he not only deserves a raise but also a metal. The brave people in public transportation needs to protect themselves from the unruly people they encounter everyday. The police only show up after someone is injured big thanks to this man for protecting him an the community.🙏
And*
Wtf was the guy doing though? Robbing a bus?
The passenger could've waited for the next stop. Now he's next stop is jail... then he'll be out doing this again
Nah, he's going to prison with Federal Charges.
He is going to jail for this.
Good example of what f*ck around and find out means. Well he found out. 😂😂
All praises to that Bus driver 🙏 Give that man a raise 🙏
He was fired...
@@edmourgagnon1504that's a shame but he should become a private Uber Driver 🙌🏾God Bless him and he will find another job even though he lost Good pay✨
Absolutely it's about time bus drivers stand up for themselves
Good driver kept his eyes on the road while shooting and made sure to stop the bus safely honestly deserves a medal
Not really. He drove over a curb and off the road.
@moshunit96 so your rebuttal is he hit the curb while driving a commercial vehicle (totally different beast than an average car) during a shoot out and you think that's poor driving?
Just saying, not critiquing this man at all just your comment, you’d want to be looking at where your bullets are going.
@@Dosei236 not looking where you're shooting a gun while driving is not good. It's really not good driving when you're looking where you're driving and still hitting a curb because you don't know how to shoot a gun. I understand why you would want a metal They're shiny ✨️
Millennial by any chance?
@phillydiscoHe was about to get shot. Would you have done differently?
I'm glad none of those passengers got hurt. I don't blame the driver. I blame the thug who pulled a gun first.
That's the main thing-no one got hurt-he probably violated company policy. It being private property, the company can decide what goes on.
@Bob Hill companies don't follow you after death , it's quite logical for someone to care more about what's going to happen to their consciousness when they die scientifically and physics wise rather what a company on some xeno experimentally controlled planet would say about the situation. It's really just splicing primitives on a rock making them think it's l real.
This guy wont have trouble finding a job underground as security 😂 modern day Jason Bourne
