Now her face is all over the internet and she'll have to live with the fact that she was being an obnoxious jerk. I don't care if she was a senior or had some disability. There were other seats VERY nearby that passengers were offering her. It would have been a small thing for her to move and accommodate the man in the wheelchair.
If she considers herself too disabled (or if she is too mentally challenged) to move ONE FRIGGIN' ROW then how is she even getting around town by herself?! Of course that was a rhetorical question. She is just a selfish, nasty, scum of a human being, and now the whole world can see that.

She's old, or appears to be, so technically she is permitted to stay where she was seated. However common sense should have prevailed as a wheelchair bound individual cannot just sit anywhere they choose.
In today's society, nothing surprises me anymore.

I suspect she is possibly homeless and doesn't use the internet or watch (or even own) a TV or computer. She may not care.

The obstinate woman rider pays an extreme penalty for her behavior. She has to live with herself, all day, every day.

I will probably get slammed for this, but this could be an area in which blacks and Latinos just don’t get along.

I don’t know anything about this woman . I have, however, witnessed situations where I live in which some bizarre things have happened in that regard.

I can’t speak for this situation, of course.

If you saw this, how would you react?
I would tell everyone that she is a senior disabled woman that cannot speak any English!!!

I was meaning your thought process.
But even from the video you are merely speculating she was disabled in some fashion, as I have not heard nor read anything to substantiate it.

The very first thing the woman says in the video is "I don't care!" which another rider responds to with "I know you don't."

So, if she doesn't speak English, why is she saying "I don't care" in English?
