Fox News frontpage if the link doesn't work. Gunmen on Bus article.

How could this happen? After all, they require a "license to carry ..." if you are going to have a firearm on a motor vehicle. Obviously the license system let us all down.

Philadelphia: The city of brotherly love.
Considering how the local LEOs operate there, the civilians are just mirroring what they've learned. Somebody j-walks.....shoot'm. Somebody's holed up in an apartment.....burn the whole block down.

Emphasis on "Brother"

That's some crazy third-world sh!t. Oh, wait, Philadelphia. Guess I was being redundant.

Well least they didnt report them for being members of the Tea Party ;D

A good follow up story. They are in custody awaiting trial.

I get complacent from time to time and think " I don't want to carry today." Then I see stories like this and it brings me back to reality.

clip...The bus was carrying 10 to 15 passengers at the time of the alleged shooting.
I think were past alleged with that video..

Thank goodness these idiots don't believe in target practice. No injuries, luckily. Hell, it looked like, from point blank range, they were BARELY able to hit the damn BUS!!!

Actually, they looked more to me like they were gangsta wannabees - lots of attitude, lots of bravado, but when it came time to actually, ya know, fire the weapon, they had to work themselves up to the act. Notice they approached the door, backed off, danced a bit, came back, backed off again, etc. The article and cast weren't clear, but it appears a single shot was fired?
-
I read in another forum that the bus was hit 13 times.

You are right!
It is far better to have this kind of citizen afoot...then those Tea Party fanatics who are downright terrorists... ::)
Ya'll didn't check out the white rascist post yesterday did ya?

FTA;
"Defense lawyers argued that since no one was hit, no assault took place, according to MyFoxPhilly.com."
You gotta be sh!tting me.
-
No assault took place. Just attempted murder.
-
It looks like such a slam-dunk on these mopes that I bet their defense attorney is throwing out everything he can in hopes that something sticks. These clowns have several years of free room and board ahead of them.

The first thing I thought when I saw this video was where I live we can't carry on public transportation. I can just imagine getting arrested for defending yourself from something like this because you were carrying on the bus.
Sheesh!!!

It must have been expensive fitting that many metal detectors. ::)

No metal detectors Tom. One of the rules of the game on public transportation around here. If, under this scenario, I shoot to defend myself or someone else I would get nailed by the local PD for carrying on the bus.

Yeah ? Which one has worse consequences ?

Tom, you gotta know the answer to that question. I still don't carry on public transportation. "Course I don't take public transportation.

I know the answer, and I act accordingly.
