teachers, nurses and others go out on stress leave every day of the week for this abuse and nothing is done to deter it.

gaol would be not be appropriate ( they are full to overflowing anyway) but some kind of humiliating public service would suffice ,maybe clean buses and stops with a definite ban on public transport for 12 months.

maybe hit them where it really hurts with a reduction on welfare payments.
Are you kidding poppa? Reduce their welfare payment, they are already fighting over a $2.50 fare.

is that what it was about?.........absolutely disgusting behaviour.

a psychiatric study should be made into their whole life and just see what has led to this, maybe learn where we, as a society, are going wrong and possibly rectify our downfalls.

our workers should not have to go to work under this sort of threat.

Just give them a long community service term, couple thousand hours and make them do stuff like soup kitchens, homeless shelters, help out volunteer fire fighters during bushfire season etc.

We've got grass more than a meter tall lining our local roads, get them cutting it.

Make them run to their destination instead of robbing public transportation, that will be punishment enough for unlawful persons of that stature.

Yeah, I would have lost it right there as well.

I don't know where I would have stopped with the ugly cows either

I certainly would not like to have been in that situation as the driver

Now, how things might have been different if I had been a passenger standing nearby?

I saw comments about this on a Facebook page of one of the news services.

People were actually saying that the driver "escalated" things and was partly to blame for standing up.

I'd have stood up too...and put aside my "don't hit girls" philosophy and driven the Creature From The Black Lagoon there right between the fricking eyes as hard as I could.
"I was in fear of my life, officer..."

Ferals doesn't even come close to describing these two animals.

I was brought up to always treat a "Lady" with respect

but I didn't see any signs of a "Lady" in that clip.

Everyone saying they should both get community service, whats the bet that the fat one gets out of it because of 'medical reasons' (being too fat). What I think should happen is have their faces printed everywhere so that they can be shamed. Jail time is a waste, fining them wont do anything

Discusting behaviour. If my children acted like this, they wouldn't be able to walk for a week.

The sad part is that there's "two sections" of society. These cave dwelling trogdolites will be sitting at home with all their mates laughing and saying "Hey look we're on TV", and all their friends will be strongly supporting them...you see it on the news all the time when they interview friends and family of someone who has done something similar.

And then there's the normal people...like all those posting here...making fun of these creatures and decrying their actions and wanting a firm hand taken to the offenders.

Unfortunately never the two shall meet...police arrest these sort of people, and the courts just let them go with lenient sentencing and soft treatment, believing the sob stories they will, inevitably, tell through a taxpayer provided legal service.

Another good example is when you see reports of vandalism of a graveyard...anguished relatives go on TV and in the papers pleading with the offenders to "do the right thing" and to "listen to their conscience" and "if their friends know anything tell someone".

Sorry, doesn't work like that.

If you're the sort of person who will, "for fun" go and vandalise a cemetery (or, for example, spit on a bus driver), then you and your friends and family aren't the sort of people blessed with a conscience that tells you this is the wrong thing to do...they'll see the news items and won't be stricken with remorse...they'll be sitting around high-fiving their stupid friends and saying "That was us! Look, we're famous! Hahahah!".

No idea how you fix this sort of divide in the community...

Just watched it again... says to the media “I just want to say ... he hit me first ... and I proceeded to punch him. So he did it first on my side of the head and I have the photos to prove it.’’

Sorry...ain't video recording of things like this a *****? about 15 seconds in she pushes him and then it starts. He didn't "hit first"...
It even looks after he stood up to fend off their attack that he was going for her neck to push her away but...you know...lack thereof... And what was the daughter doing down on the floor? Biting him on the leg like a rabid dog? Hard to see.

I wonder how much of this was just a "he said/she said" thing in the days before dash cams and CCTV recording of events? I'd guess "all of it"...

I tried that excuse in high school PE to get out of it, but unfortunately I had to run around the 8 black poles, eventually the PE teacher gave up and let all the fat lazy kids like myself and the smokers walk the 800m run instead of running 100m and hiding behind the hill, waiting for the others to come around behind the hill, then run up behind them and rejoin the group, effectively turning 800m run into 200m max.

It worked the first few times

I have had issues with bus drivers this last week since they don't seem to see anything smaller than a B-Double around here. However it's a ship of a job, I don't know how they stay sane.

Have a look at this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9l2TaLb9Xs

People walking past, car drivers driving past, bus driver goes 'wtf' stops his bus and talks the lady down off the rail. Kudos to him, hope he never has to buy a beer ever again.

Yes, its very easy to get "mad" and "bad" confused with out ALL the information presented to us. I agree this looks to be a "bad" but I doubt that we will ever find out the truth. There is a huge percentage of mentally ill people in the community, more then most of us will ever know.

This is the world we now live in, some people are really very good people, but there's a lot of A`holes out there mixed in with them, i hate to be an anti social bastard, but sometimes when the rat race gets too much i would love to be on a deserted island by my self or on farm in the out back..... seriously!
Dealing with the public day in and day out , i bet the bus driver feels like that sometimes, either that or hes become numb to it.
