Would you go this crazy? I would be angry but would not do this.

It doesn't make sense. If he really was at every bus stop for 23 blocks (like 12 stops) and the driver "wouldn't stop" that means that not one single passenger got on or off the bus that entire time.

I don't believe that. It's possible he was "chasing" the bus for 23 blocks, but in my experience, bus drivers don't stop for people chasing their bus. They stop when someone is at a bus stop waiting.

I dunno. Not justifying any awful behavior but, People get angry. When people are troubled and messed up and cant deal with their tough issues alone they either get angry or depressed. One or the other. Its natural.

Racism is also natural. Blaming people for being racist is sorta the wrong direction to go too. People will always be racist about things regardless of how many Freedom Fighters fight against it, it still gonna happen.....

Sadly I empathize with this knit wit having run into the same situation.
I will never forget. It was raining. I was soaked. I chased the bus for many stops.
I made eye contact with his rear view mirror. I would just come to the stop as he was pulling away.
It was a deliberate act. He finally was jammed up in traffic. I raced ahead to the next stop.
Fortunately someone signaled to get off. I got on and paid my fare. I looked him straight in the eye
and told him. Just remember pal, Karma is a Mutha F*****. What goes around, come around.
I took a seat. Other people on the bust told me they tried to get the bus drivers' attention as they saw
what was happening but he ignored them. Today it will be different. With the advent of phones, I will be
more than happy to record the events and send them over to the complaint review board. I will also send
a copy of a doctors receipt as to the duress created and will promptly see his Arse written up. The guy in this
video was probably in the right but blew it instantly the moment he caused damage and instead of being a victim
is now a felon.

that's one sad set of options, man. Consider joining the world where grown-ups learn not to take their troubles out on others or attack themselves.

The bus doesn't have to wait for anybody. If you're not there to step into an open door the driver has the right to close the door and not open it again. It's just the way it is.

I mean it's pretty dooshie to do that when a person is almost right there but you don't have any rights to claim here

The time it took him to run 23 blocks, couldn't he have just waited and gotten the next bus?

Guy obviously has a screw loose. If it wasn't the bus this time next time it would have been beating up a McDonald's burger flipper for forgetting the sauce on his Big Mac

This has happened to all of us I'm sure. You see the bus, you run to it but too late they pull away. As mad as you may be the bus can't wait for every person that comes running, "wait for me, wait for me".
It's happened to me on many occasions, people can't take things personally. It wasn't to slight me personally. It was the bus had to keep it moving.
