Rickey Wagoner of Trotwood, Ohio, was assaulted by three men while he stood beside his bus in the early hours of Monday morning
The two bullets aimed at his chest were stopped by a New Testament Bible that he kept in his chest pocket
The shooting may have been a gang initiation after Wagoner told cops that one of the suspects said 'we need to shot a polar bear to get in a club'
Polar bear hunting is gang slang for a random attack on an unsuspecting victim.

A bus driver in Trotwood, Ohio, is recovering in hospital after remarkably surviving being shot at point blank range in an unprovoked random attack seemingly linked to a gang initiation ceremony.

Rickey Wagoner, 49, was assaulted by three men while he stood beside his bus in the early hours of Monday morning.

Three shots were fired at Wagoner - one struck him in the right leg and two were fired at his chest....

I think you know what they mean by polar bears, even if the reporters don't want to spell it out.

Could it be that 'young black males' choosing that particular animal to describe this activity indicates the attacks somewhat less random than this article contends?

The other thing they didn’t want to spell out was that it was a BIBLE. One reporter called it “a religious devotional book” rather than stating what it actually was!! Political correctness gone crazy!!

"Um, they said they were 'Polar Bear hunting'. That falls under the EPA."

---

"Uh, no. 'Hunting' isn't in our jurisdiction. This is a matter for the Interior Department"

---

"Uh, the United States Department of the Interior does not manage polar bears. Polar bears are hunted by Native Americans. This would be a matter best handled by the Bureau of Indian Affairs."

---

"Since this did not involve an actual polar bear, the Bureau of Indian Affairs is not involved. This is a matter for the Justice Department."

Polar bears have black skin. Was the bus driver black or white???

[stellaluna]

White and about as round as a bear actually.

Why do we hear about this stuff from the UK? .... And where’s the outrage from the MSM?

[nvscanman]

Polar bear hunting is gang slang for a random attack on an unsuspecting “WHITE” victim.

Corrected for accuracy.

Thank You, Lord, for protecting your servant, Rickey Wagoner.

Cops are looking for two people that killed a cab driver in Houston Thursday night. The description on the news tonight was “two people in dark clothing and baggy pants”.
