I think I probably would have intervened immediately and violently.
Hopefully, this wasn't the bus that was being driven:
I’d be doing a Flight 93 response.
That would have depended on whether or not he left his sword home for the day.
I’m pretty far from a homie...if this happened to me, the guy would be getting a shoeectomy at the local ER after WALKING there...just a half minute into the prayer......
KRAMER: No, I jumped on the bus. I told the driver, "I got a toe here, buddy, step on it!"
GEORGE: Holy cow!
KRAMER: Yeah, yeah. Then, all of a sudden, this guy pulls out a gun. Well, I knew any delay is gonna cost her her pinky toe, so I got out of the seat, and I started walking towards him. He says, "Where do you think you're going, Cracker Jack?" I says, "Well, I got a little prize for ya, buddy." [Makes punching moves.] Plow! Plat! Ke-yah! Knocked him out cold.
GEORGE: How could you do that?!
KRAMER: Then, everybody is screaming, because the driver, he's passed out because of all the commotion. The bus is OUT of control. So I grab him by the collar, I take him out of the seat, I get behind the wheel. Now I'm driving the bus.
GEORGE: You're Batman.
KRAMER: Yeah, yeah, I am Batman. Then the mugger, he comes to, and he starts choking me. So I'm fighting him off with one hand and I kept driving the bus with the other. Then, I managed to open up the door, and I kicked him out the door, you know, with my foot, you know, at the next stop.
JERRY: You kept making all the stops?!
KRAMER: Well, people kept ringing the bell!
I might have attacked him by mistake.
When one or two of these muzzies driving buses lock the doors and detoante to slaughter a couple dozen ‘infidels’, do ya suppose hiring policies will be effected in cities like Detroit and Minneapolis? Of course not.
wait...one driver, on his knees, busload of passengers. What kind of sheep do they have in the UK?
How sad is it that the excuse “Sorry I’m late, but a muslim fundamentalist delayed me....” can be perfectly well accepted in the UK now.
But they’re civilized and sophisticated, not like us ignorant savage Bible-thumping Americans with our neanderthal 2nd Amendment.
I would have broken out my bible across his muzzie face; repeatedly.
I thought of sheep also. If they’re lucky, they’ll only end up fleeced.
I imagine the same as here. Only ours put a mohamaden in the most powerful office in the world.
Yes and no. Spent six years in Saudi Arabia and learned a few things about this subject. Never had a problem like this there. If a driver's responsibility was to go from point A to point B, then he should either pray before or after the trip. If he stops for gas then he should make up his prayer at that time, hence the reason for all of the combination gas station/mosques one can see all over the Middle East. Just stopping for a stop sign is not considered a stop.
The flexibility is so that he can do his job and meet his prayer requirements. The two should not conflict at all with each other. In Islamic advice columns it was even suggested that if a job interferes with prayer too much then find a new one. What the driver did was an in your face.
Break out a window and escape...
Lets roll...
This is in the UK. Apparently we can add “no right against false imprisonment” to “no right to self defense” and the more general “no rights against thugs.”
