Friday

My co worker mentioned to me something that he saw on the news, I think it was what he heard on the radio on his drive in to work.

A woman, a Black young woman, who was babysitting was thrown off the public bus by the bus driver in the pouring rain. This morning, I heard it mentioned on the radio, so I did some checking up on it. The bus company is that of Rochester, NY, RTS. The woman had 2 small children, I think they said the kids were 1 year olds. The children and a stroller, she was having a hard time managing. Another rider got off the bus they were both on. He got off to HELP her on to another bus, the bus she was thrown off of. I don't know what was the problem. The woman offered to pay, and she did, for the man who helped her on the this bus. The fact that the bus wasn't the man's bus, but he was there to help her. The bus driver got angry, for what, I don't know and told her she had to leave. When she said she wasn't, because she said she didn't do anything wrong, the bus driver called the police. When the police came, they said that they have no say so in the matter and if the driver wants her off the bus, he has the authority to do so, and that they, the police are there to make sure it happens. WHAT THE FUCK??

It was raining so hard that in some parts of the city and the surrounding areas, power went out. It was rumored, that it was TWO tornadoes in the area. The same 2 that destroyed a town out in the Western part of the United States. So, this bus driver had that much POWER that he and other bus drivers can have passengers thrown off the bus? AND, the police have no say so in any of what was happening? Oh, I emailed my letters to the company and the Mayor of this city wanting to know what is being done about this.
