A Cleveland municipal bus driver has been suspended after video surfaced this week showing him decking a mouthy female rider with a bolo punch.
The confrontation between the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) worker and the unidentified woman was apparently filmed by another rider. It is unclear from the above clip, however, what triggered the dispute.
[WARNING: The video is peppered with curse words and racial slurs.]
The driver of bus 2802 leaves his seat after the woman appears to strike him. "You going to jail now," the driver says twice before throwing an uppercut that knocks the woman to the ground.
The driver then throws the woman off the stopped bus, though she climbs back aboard and tussles with him. "She want to be a man, I'm gonna treat you like a man," the driver announces at one point.
RTA officials believe the fight occurred on September 18. The unidentified driver was suspended this week, with city officials describing his behavior as "absolutely unacceptable." In a press statement, the agency added, "RTA apologizes to our customers for this incident. A full investigation continues."

You are obviously too young to remember Kid Gavilan, and my Sainted Mother. The Bolo Punch comes from Cuba, where it follows the trajectory of a cane cutter's upward stroke with the machete.
It's an uppercut that starts well below the waist and crosses the body. Deadly, comes from nowhere and you don't see it coming. My Sainted Mother could have taken out Kid Gavilan AND Carmen Basilio.

Women are the absolute worst when it comes to inciting fights. They've been raised to believe that a man should never hit a woman and so they press their luck to the max. when suddenly
POW! Right in the kisser!
Then they cry foul and wonder why they got smacked........
As a side note, look at all the videos that have been posted here of the violence that goes on at fast food restaurants. Almost all of them have been instigated by feral women......

That uppercut was worthy of Anderson Silva, UFC MMA Middleweight Champion.
Sorry but the gal got up, not even fazed.......You'd better hope Mr. Silva never reads your comment.

The whole knee-jerk chivalry argument, BTW, stopped having any currency with me when women stopped being ladies. Chivalry was a two-way societal bargain that they reneged on first. I no longer consider it binding.Exactly correct!

>>>Carry a gun everywhere . You never know when you will be attacked. <<<
I hear you but the problem is that in the places where you need a gun the most you are really not allowed to defend yourself. If the local authorities don't get you the feds can bust you. Even if you are found innocent a trial can ruin your life. Remember Bernie Goetz ????

Practice an empty hand martial art everyday. It’s one weapon they can’t take away from you.
Remember, even if you avoid trouble in the streets, standing up for your constitutional rights could land you in a jail cell tomorrow. If you require motivation.

Yep, according to
wikipedia, Kid Gavilan retired around the time I was born. Aside from that, I have little interest in boxing so I don't recognize names, terms, etc.
Thanks for the info!

The only problem with public transit is that it is public.

That’s ridiculous; Newark is a college town. I saw it on an ankle-length T-shirt some unsupervised 10 year-old was wearing at midnight on Broad Street...
