14 yo girls kicked off bus for kissing - you won't believe the backlash!

[nosmokes]

Accordin to an article in the Ptown paper the girl's and their families haven't decided whether to file a lawsuit or not, but I reckon if they get a glimpse of this it shouldn't be too hard to make up their mind. The article also said the driver that tossed the girls off the bus, a longtime veteran knew he was supposed to call the office before he threw anyone off, much less a couple of teen girls. He's been *disciplined* according to Trimet but they won't say what or how... This is very discouraging that this sorta shit is happening in Portland Oregon.

As Matt Davis reported earlier today, there are apparently photos of two gay girls—girls who were allegedly kicked off a Trimet bus for kissing—circulating among Trimet drivers.

1. Unfortunately there are fools and bigots here in Oregon too.

[LiberalFighter]

2. Were the photos taken by the bus driver? Where did they obtain photos?

Legal?

[slampoet]

3. Isn't posting unauthorised pictures of Minors a felony?

[ProgressiveAmPatriot]

4. It ain't legal n/t

[LisaL]

7. I would guess no.

It seems to me it can't be a felony to post someone's photo, even if it is a photo of a minor.

5. The comments to the article are sickeningly pathetic.

[tammywammy]

6. Agreed

*shakes head* It's sad.

8. What's up with these anti-sex conservatives today

First they throw a seventeen year old teenager in jail for 10 years for making out with a girl two years younger now this. These so-called religious freaks need to get a life.

9. The driver is a reactionary morAn, but...

Girls and boys
boys and boys
girls and girls
humans and box turtles

shouldn't be kissing on the school bus.

10. It wasn't a school bus

It was a TriMet (public transportation) bus.

[BlooInBloo]

11. (AD) and *that's why* you read the article...

:rofl:

[BattyDem]

12. It's in the OP ... not just the article

:-)

I agree with your earlier post ... the comments are sickeningly pathetic! What is wrong with people? :shrug:

On edit: What is (AD)? :dunce:

[BlooInBloo]

13. True that.... And I dunno - it's disturbing tho.

[Catch22Dem]

14. Oops, I didn't know what Trimet was...

And since they were teenagers, I just assumed. My apologies. On a city bus, I don't care what anyone does. The driver, like I said, is a reactionary morAn.

Thanks for setting me straight though.

[LisaL]

15. Well, I ride the city bus, so I don't understand why you don't care

what anyone does on a city bus. What, anything goes just cause it's a city bus? For one, you can't eat or drink on a city bus. I don't know what the rules are regarding public displays of affection, but I ride it every week day and I've never seen anyone kissing on the bus.

[Catch22Dem]

16. Waaaaiiiit a minute

I didn't mean that as a blanket statement that I don't care what goes on. I meant it as it pertained to my original statement about people kissing. I don't care who kisses whom on a city bus.

[BlooInBloo]

17. Unless it's the driver. While she/he is driving. :)

[Cruzan]

18. So why didn't they arrest the girls and make them register as sex offenders?

I mean they were both underage. They could have brought them up on morals charges at least.

19. Fortunately kissing isn't a criminal act. Yet. n/t
