A couple of teenagers got in a knock down, drag out fight on the bus today
They were standing at the bus stop together and when one of them boarded the other one started saying stuff to him that got him mad.Then they dove into each other and started with the punches. The whole bus was hollering at them to stop and break it up and 2-3 guys jumped out of their seats to stop them.

Anyway, it was a rush, that's for sure. Glad no one got hurt very badly.

One of them got off the bus and walked away.

3. I'm really tired of that lack of self-control
one time my son and I were driving home from downtown, and people started fighting at the bus-stop and it spilled into the street. And I think these were adults. Crazy.

9. Or perhaps there is something about youth
or being male, or talking that makes Americans go nuts. Ive been on mass transit a coupla times in my life, in a few cities, and never seen anyone get in a fight on or near it.

10. I've never seen one in person, myself. But there have been a spate
of YouTube videos and reported incidents of bus fights recently. And not all of them involve young males, either.

11. Yeah, that is where I am lucky..I like to ride the bus/lightrail
I had cars, but cars just get me into trouble. I live close to downtown and can be down there in 15 minutes on the bus. No traffic or parking hassles. No tickets or accidents. I just like it.

The only time I HATE the bus is when I miss one or my bus is running late and I miss my connecting bus. But that doesn't happen very often.

When they get the lightrail built between denver and boulder, I am probably going to move to boulder after my grandparents are gone. It used to be a half hour bus ride, but with the train, it will be only 15 minutes!!

Sorry, I could take about public transportation all day..LOL

8. Bussed it to and from the pharmacy today...
.
... tired, cranky, irritated, tender, wishing I could have stayed in
bed and knowing it would have been better for me... when, on the way
home, this 30-something couple starts verbally abusing each other and
the language deteriorates to almost NOTHING that would be allowed on
network broadcasts and they're both trashy, gotta-have-the-last-word
childish moronic exhibitionistic drama queens.
.
Bad enough 'til the woman moved up half the bus length. Didn't STOP
anything. Just made it LOUDER.
.
stfu.

The first 2/3 of that was them out loud to each other. The last third
was my thoughts directed at them. Multiply both components by about
FREAKIN' FIFTY!!!!!!!
.
stfu.
