GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: You saw the school bus girl from February 15. A female Arizona bus driver and two female students go at it. But now someone is being charged.
Here is the video from inside the bus. The blowout starts when a student demands she is let off the bus. The bus driver refuses. They start arguing. The driver takes the girl's cell phone and calls security.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You are not allowed to touch me, lady. I am getting off the bus.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You are not getting off the bus.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Mom, the bus driver is touching me. Do not touch me again, lady. Stop touching me.
No one cares! Do you understanding? I do not care. I do not care. I want to get off the bus, and if you touch me again, I will sue you. Do you understand? Do you not know
I am not touching you! You are touching me. Oh, my god. You punched me. You are crazy. You are crazy. You should not be allowed to drive this bus.

I would NOT want to be the defense attorney for the bigmouth. I'm usually pro-defense, but not here.
“I’ve been tempted to post one of those “already posted” posts, to a post proclaiming “already posted”.”
LOL...*snort*. Good one. :)
What have you got against the Mods? They volunteer to police the duplicates/triplicates/quadruplicates/etc. Why shouldn't comments about a particular story be centralized as best as possible?
The reason I'm saying this is because I use FR as more of a research tool and less of a chat room. It's nice when people take the effort to find an earlier thread, and bump it instead of posting a new one. It's easier for them, too.
I understand wire stories get posted with different headlines and such but still . . . and if you spend any time on the Articles page you don't need to miss a thing.
Well, bully for them. Too bad they can't be more consistent and less arbitrary in their policing methods.
Ah, I see. You probably posted a Britney thread and had it moved to General/Chat.
I can just imagine how their shorts get in a bind when their favorite TV show has a re-run. “Why, that has already been on here!!!”

Conversely, I can imagine their reaction when you insist on watching the same program on the same televisions in the same room at once.
Don't touch me, or I'll sue you. Mommie.
Ran into a kid skateboarding under a "No Skateboarding" sign outside a supermarket one day.
"What are you going to do about it", the smart aleck said.
"How about I smack you in the chops for your mouth and make a citizens arrest for breaking the law."
Kid picks up skateboard and vacates premises.

Oops. Had a problem and hit the post twice. Sorry about that!
I can’t help but think that some poor lad is destined to marry this little harridan.
Hardly. Try searching and finding what threads I've posted over the years. You'll not find many, and those that I have posted have been found through research, and related to political or historical topics. None have been pulled. You seem quick to assume things about folks you don't even know. What kind of an effective defender for the mods can you be when you don't even do your homework before opening your mouth?
The prosecutor was right to charge this girl and not the bus driver. The bus driver was just doing her job. If she had let the girl off anywhere but school or home, the bus driver could have been sued, fired, disciplined, etc... The girl had no respect for authority or her fellow students.
I work in a high school and some of the students (a small minority) have no respect for anyone or anything. They think rules are stupid and don’t apply to them. And if you try to make them folow the rules, they call their parents- just like this girl did- and the parents start yelling that you can’t make their child do anything they don’t want to.
It all begins in the home.
Exactly!!
Probably not, but you know, I don’t even think that’s it. I think there is much, much more to this than meets the eye.
...getting her in deeper trouble, for contacting an alleged victim after having charges filed against her.
The bus driver would not have had a chance to file charges before I took a child of mine over there to apologize. Even if she did, I would stand before any judge anywhere and tell him/her that I believe in doing the right thing - fine me.
