I was in Rochester visiting family when this story broke, and only saw a small part of the video shown on the local news. I just watched the 10 minute segment posted online. I'm a female, and worked in uniform in male-only prisons in the NY prison system for 25 years. Convicted felons showed more respect than these little scumbags on the bus. From what I understand, she lost her job as a driver two years ago, and I'm assuming it's because she says she still suffers hearing problems despite wearing hearing aids. There are supposed to be a few more videos like this, but I haven't seen them. The one I watched was made on the last day of school, which is why these kids figured they could get away with it. These brats need to be humiliated in public, and made to do some type of community service work all summer long, from sun up to sun down. But then I'm sure their parents would cry foul.

Yes, their parents would not want the precious little dears to be in the heat and away from their video games.
In addition to the community service, I would like to see them forced to sit in a cage in a mall with a sign explaining their offense. Passersby would not be allowed to harm them physically in any way, but they would be allowed to mock and insult them.
I would not want someone to actually do these kids physical harm — aside from the beating from their parents — but it is heartening to imagine them, as someone upthread said, living in fear that someone is coming after them.
