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.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

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!!!

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.
