...and most of it seems to come from my own young, black, male community.

In my blog i have called it self-hatred, a disease....a DIS--"EASE"

This problem won't be solved overnight..... unless we all come to an agreement...which is highly unlikely.

root and the core: "if you don't love yourself you cannot love anyone else."

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE

i don't believe anyone is truly EVIL,

so do i have a solution?...jails haven't worked...they can be breeding grounds for hatred....education is a start and a foundation

As an uncle, i am a source of light, i tutor and act as an example of stability to my young nephews, that's where i start...

Big Brothers and Big Sisters is also a great organization to be a part of.

We need more mentors.

A little small step does go a long way. It is a great reward to see a young person become a responsible adult.

It doesn't surprise me one bit. Nor the apathy of the riders who sat by and did nothing. Young Blacks terrorizing the community has become the norm in Milwaukee. I might go as far as to say "expected". Pathetic.

If you noticed the same thing that I did, you saw that this was a planned attack. Except I don't think the demon anticipated the driver to be able to withstand his punch brigade. Not only did the driver take every blow, but he continued to drive the bus at speeds reported to be 40 mph. The driver should have stopped the bus and not continued to drive.

What bugs me the most is that there were passengers on the bus as well who did absolutely nothing to help this driver. Unless this perp had a gun and told people to stay seated, they should have tried to help. Call 911 or tackle the guy. Absolutely unbelievable.

I hear you loud and clear Antoine!! I don't ride the bus anymore but if I did, you better believe that my first reaction would be to get this guy under control. If that means by myself, then so be it. But this story reminds me of the teenager that was jumped on the bus by Mayfair and no one did anything to help him either.

Tell me again why our soldiers are fighting a shadow army in a foreign land for our safety, and yet we can't take down a piece of garbage that is assaulting someone right in front of us? I just don't understand.

I think the bus drivers should be allowed to carry pepper spray just like the mail carriers do. Mail carriers use pepper spray to ward off the attack of dogs...and in this bus drivers case it's the same scenario!

If that bus driver had pepper spray he could have zapped this evil person and debilitated him until the authorities got there.

I was really surprised that no one got up and tackled that kid. It appeared that he was just swinging and attacking with his fists.
Sad to say but I think they should have the bus drivers encased in some kind of safety glass or something on that order to protect them.
Good thing for video because I do believe he'll be recognized my someone.

All I can say is THANK YOU Liberals. This is what your "agenda" has wrought upon society. Out of control youth, and adults who know "they" will be the ones prosecuted for putting their hands on the perpetrator. People must wake up and see that their world is being destroyed by what the Liberal's agenda has brought upon us.
FREAKIN RIDICULAS.

Stuff like this makes me irratated. I used to be an avid bus rider since my high school and college days, but after watching incidents like these I don't even think about riding the buses no more. As a matter of fact, this is one of the reasons I don't take the buses all the time. Ever since 2005, I've been driving around Milwaukee ever since.

As far as the person striking at the bus operator, he is going to get caught somehow. Plus, I know it has mentioned but I agree that bus operators should start using self-defense. I'm serious! I have bus operators in my family, and I often wonder about their safety. Maybe their Union needs to take notes on this. Straight Up.

Plus, since there were 8 passengers on the bus, why didn't some didn't help the driver? The person didn't have a weapon on him or anything, although he said it. If I were in that position of just sitting and watching stuff like that unfold, believe or not, I would get up and do something about it. Not to play the hero, but to act upon my safety well being.

So Much For Just The Cameras With Audio and Video Sound. That's About All They Have. And Someone Tell Me What Is Security Officers Going To Do On The Bus (If They Get Them)?

They Need The Real MPD Officers, Milwaukee County Sherriffs / Sherriff Deputies, Undercover Police Officers On Those Buses and Stop Playing Games Before Someone Really Gets Injured and Hurt On Those Buses.

Some of You May Not Know, But Do You Know That If You Assault A Bus Driver It's 10 Years In Prison (Not Jail, PRISON) and $50,000 or $100,000 Dollars? It Could Be $10,000 If I'm Not Mistaken. If Anything, If A Bus Driver of Any Sort Gets Assaulted, It Ought To Be $500,000.

Anyways, That Bus Driver Is About To Get Some Serious Money In His Pockets. Luckily That Bus Wasn't Even Damaged Or Nothing and No People Were Hurt. That Was Good For Everybody.

So, Anyone Who Rides The Bus or Has Kids That Ride The Bus, I Know What I'm Going To Do, But My Question Is What Are You Going To Do or What Are They Going To Do?

And the worst part is the reason that the driver got beaten up (for trying to pass off a bad bus pass) AND, that wasn't even the driver that refused the person to get on the bus with the bad pass!
