Something Happened Around Me Today

This morning, I took the bus to work. It was my connector to my main bus, which takes me to work. On the way up, some young men in the back of the bus began creating a disturbance, shouting curse words and racial slurs. Not surprisingly, some others took exception to that, and a pier six brawl erupted on the bus. We yelled to the bus driver to stop the bus, since there was a fight going on. She handled the situation brilliantly, pulling over and calling 911. The doors opened, and the fighters tumbled out into the parking lot, where the fight continued. Here's the kicker. The fight took place ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE POLICE STATION! We were detained about twenty minutes, which caused me to be late to work, while the police took the bus driver's report. Hey, that happens. While the officer was taking the report, another passenger yelled "they're still fighting down the street!" Another young man was watching the situation, and saying "I just gotta get to work". I'm with ya brother, and another lady was talking about how the fighters were "acting like fools". I agree with you, too.
