Well the good news is the perp has been banned from using public transportation.

The bus driver was fired for violating the "no weapons" policy

I live in a SC suburb right outside Charlotte, - and actually very, very close to where this happened. The city of Charlotte is like other lib run enclaves. Becoming more liberal by the day. And anti 2A to boot. In the recent past, a CATS driver was shot and killed. As a result, a bunch of their drivers quit. They installed shields to "protect" drivers from passengers. Didn't exactly protect the driver in this case.

So many drivers quit, that they had to cut some routes, and reduce operating schedules. With this latest situation, - and CATS then having fired this driver for defending himself, word on the street is that even more drivers are or will be quitting.

Probably not a bad thing. It will be interesting to see what happens.

the bus drivers should strike till the Plexiglass is replace with bullet proof glass ...

I see self defense by the driver, although similar to the taco shop shooting in Texas, the final shot being an issue. If I was on the jury, driver walks.

 

[fresch]

Just move to a free...

Legally yes.

According to my morals, no. You come at someone like that with a weapon and you deserve whatever comes your way.

Id rather be fired than dead.

Id rather be fired than dead.

As I learned as a kid on a farm... jobs and machines are replaceable... people are not.

Hmm, so the perp pulls out a gun and threatens the driver for not stopping when he wanted him to stop. WTF! When someone threatens dpf over a situation like this there is a big problem with the individual and the bus driver would have done everyone a bigger favor if he was more accurate at the start.

Regardless, glad the bus driver was as quick as he was in defending himself. Most people would hesitate from the shock of the situation.
