With the way these dipshit kids are nowadays, I'd half expect a kid that age to be coming up behind me with a weapon or something. I'm surprised no one else considered that as a possible motive for the driver to swing first and ask questions later. All these kids bringing knives and guns to school and whatnot, I'd be kinda fearful about what a kid behind me with a knife could do. One well placed thrust and I could have a nice blood loss going, or some kind of long lasting physical effects. I won't condemn the guy and say he should go to jail or some ignorant shit like "if you're afraid of a kid" blah blah. Because with weapons, kids can be just as deadly as an adult. And like I said, these days you never know what kid is gonna be carrying a weapon.

He should've turned off the bus and stepped outside, locked the door behind him and waited for the deputy to show up. I think that would've been the best option.

Also, those kids' parents need to get a serious counseling session on good parenting. Kids should not be acting that way, period. I blame the parents always for the stupid shit kids do. It's the bad parenting that leads to this kind of thing and worse.
