The Beachwood PD was gracious enough provide a full torso mugshot in case either of them decided to get all gussied-up for their glamour shot. I’m sure both of their moms suggested they put on somethin’ perrrty.
…and #dead @ Shi’dea trying to look all matronly, when just weeks ago, she was rockin’ battlecat armour on that bus!
ROTFL…"battlecat armour" don’t forget that 2001 drawstring ponytail pops SNATCHED off her head!
I just cannot stop laughing at you two…"battlecat armor" and 2001 drawstring ponytail-DEAD ON THAT!
Me too, and I still got one in my closet lol
*cough* She should’ve opted for a $2.99 chinstrap for enhanced durability. That mane was in the wind!
Battle cat amour <<<—– where do they come up with diz ish dtfl!!!! to this day I still wonder y she didn’t just pay her fare. And just sit the f down …..the bus was clearly not crowded. She must didn’t have her bus tokens
The ghetto hoodrat is more wrong. That bus driver should not have been arrested. I bet if he had known that he was going to get arrested he would have stomped a mut-hole in her ass while she was on the ground. Stupid trick. He should have stomped that trick into the ground and make her part of the pavement. You don’t go around hitting and spitting on people. That’s something you just don’t do. I’ve been spat on before and it does something to you internally…..all you see is red….all you think about is taking that person’s head off. It’s not that you hear people say spitting on people is disrespectful…you don’t even have to hear that….spitting on people just does something to you internally….man…smh
Your comment is so true!
LOL….I concur with that shyt…I feel bad 4 this poor man….that hoodrat done fuxxxd up his retirement & everything….with her ghetto, hoodrat axx…..on TV trying 2 lie….she ASKED 4 what she got….he shouldn’t be arrested or charged…..
10
Lol.. ur comment is funny and toooo TRUE… just sad
I agree. You spit on someone then you deserve whatever you get. She gave a big middle finger to the whole bus when she decided to attack the operator of the bus while it was in motion. She did not care about his life, her life or any of the passengers. If she tried this in my hometown, we the passangers would have beaten her ass, not come to her rescue.
Both stupid azzes should be thrown in jail for subjecting innocent bystanders to their tomfoolery. Azz holes.
No Anna…..he reacted 2 something….she SPAT on him & then she hit him….even the most reasonable person might whoop ur axx 4 that….he had every right in this particular instance….now SHE was the one involved in "tomfoolery"…(even though I admit he could have just called the cops 2 have her kicked off the bus when she first started talking trash instead of engaging in the back & forth with her)….she shouldn’t have been on that bus disrespecting that man who was just doing his job….and I don’t know about the innocent bystanders thing cause some people on the bus sounded like they were amused by the bickering but then shyt got real after she assaulted him…..if I were him I would plead not guilty & request a jury trial…..don’t tell me you would turn the other cheek if someone spit in ur face…..
She is completely in the wrong. All the while that they are speaking to one another, she did not once pay her fare. The whole argument stemmed from her not having her fare ready when she boarded the bus. She is steady calling the bus driver all types of names WHILE RIDING FOR FREE. She need to have a seat and shut up. The video I saw was only 2 minutes long but you can tell the argument had been going for sometime. She could have continued to talk mess and got to where she needed to be FOR FREE instead of putting everyone in danger by assulting the bus driver.
I agree. People need to stay clear about the fact this man was on his job! His actions are also a representation of the company he works for.
And apparently everyone on this blog is either not black or under 25! cause, black folk was spit at and on and would have been hung if they looked like they were movin. This man is 60 years old…He has seen worst trust.
Yes, you are right.I am over twenty-five and reside in a state that stays in the news for something racist and ignorant.I wasn’t born during the civil rights era, but being from the state of confusion, I have witness ignorance at its absolute finest, smh.
I know for a fact that he would not have touched her,if she was a white woman.strike that ..I don’t know because every situation is different… he propably doesn’t take much mess of of women period.
Mr.Artist should have told her to get off of that bus and she either would have walked, or waited for another driver/or for her momma to come and pick her up with that foolishness.
church! speak on it
…..so if she were a white woman would she have spat on him??…would she have spat on him if he were a white bus driver??……she obviously doesn’t think much of men cause she had no respect 4 this man…I’m sure she has talked 2 her father, brothers, uncles, male cousins, boyfriends, and male friends disrespectfully sometime in her life…..what we witnessed is the effects of the deterioration of the relationship between the black male & the black female….we’re at a point where the young have no respect…not even 4 their elders….her mammy & pappy shoulda whopped her axx a LONG time ago….maybe then she would have never acted this way…..
lol..yes you are so right
How about someone spit on you , tell me what would u do walk away anna. bitch please. dismissed. Bystander they was tfilming the whold damn time. you must be smoking or chewing tobacco. I would have been whopping her ass when the cop pulled up and then they would have a reason to arrest me beat down 101.
The lady was wrong. If she didnt hit and spit on him he wouldnt of hit her. Eye for an eye.
If people have mental issues they are usually not held responsible for their actions. Do you know her mental state?
He could have removed her from the bus..without putting on a Youtube worthy show. The End
She mentally sound enough to hold down a job and be a mother of a child. She was mentally sound enough to pop off at someone operating a bus full of people.So she is mentally sound enough to take that ass whopping.
And while they do have mental court for individuals with mental illness, it does not cover assaults. It covers the lesser charges, at least in MO.
They both need anger management. I know it’s not sposed to be funny but this video had me laughing so hard. Bad manners might get u an azz whooping, these kids need to learn that from jump. And she looks old enuf to be somebody’s mama so she shoulda definitely known better.
well she dumb for not containg her spit, and he dumb for not controlling his actions she should NOT have spit or touched him but he shouldn’t have relocated her jaw, as black men we have to set an example for our already troubled youth. Remember the civil rights movement?
Don’t respond to violence with violence- Dr.MLK
o please mann 88, if someone spit in your face and slapped you, i dont think you’d be sitting up talking about the civil right or left movement…stop it
Lol @ Shidea pic all of sudden she trying to look all demure in the face…child please
Hittn n spittn all on the man while he driving other folk???? Thats just dangerous lil’ gul… WONDER IF HER BREATH WAS STANK!! LMBO! U can tell the man tried 2 not react when he stopped the bus he kept sayn… "Oh u goin 2 jail nah! But obviously he was still seeing red when he mopped her lil’ retarded behind…,.
Aw…she fancy! Got the hair did, put some makeup on….yeah…you can put rose petals around a heap of DOG SHYT…it still is what it is! Gutter trash!
Mr Bus Driver…you are my HERO!
I agree 100%.
Other than him hitting her too hard (lol), I don’t see a problem with nothing that took place. Keep you hands to yourself, and sit your @** down. She stated that the argument started bc he wouldn’t allow her time to get her money out, and I still didn’t see her pay the fare so technically she should have been thrown off!
And in his 20 to 30 year bus driving career I’m sure he’s allowed a person or two to ride for free. I think the whole display is disgusting…I don’t find anything funny. It’s easy for people to talk that talk…But, violence is not the way to handle problems. Especailly when it’s at your front door. now is it.
She didn’t hurt that guy…now did she.
She tried to choke him while he was driving! She didn’t pay the whole time she was cursing him out. Witnesses said she started the whole thing because he pressed her about finding her fare, which is his job. She could have paid her fare and had a seat, instead she wanted to be disrespectful and put on a show. She threatened him verbally then physically. That bus driver is over 25 and black, and he damn sure remembers the civil rights days. Maybe he had a flash back of a redneck and that’s why he did her the way he did. Either way her ass was taught a lesson, stop trying to fight a man like you are a man.
You would think that her trashy ass would have had her bus fare in her hand ready to pay instead of searching for it. Knowing her trifling ass she probably wasn’t planning on paying anyway if truth be known, she probably thought that he was going to let her slide.
obviously you didnt watch the video…i guess if someone spits on you. slaps you while you’re driving…thats ok?…gime a break
I don’t know anyone who would allow someone to spit on them especially when people are walking around with all kinds of diseases.
Okay, unless I missed the article, I have not read an article which stated he has been actually terminated from his job….I read, suspended during investigation. I am a retired bus driver and when a union is involved, suspension normally means go home and rest until I call you to come back to work, unless you killed or stole from your employer! lol…He would normally lose a chunk of money with some harsh notes put in his records…but keep his job..BECAUSE she did SPIT on him first! If he lost his job, they need better union representation!
He also signed paperwork so that she wouldnt be immediately thrown in jail, so she should be grateful.
They gave them ample time to get ready for their mugshot close ups…Shidea got her make up on and stuff.I wonder will this incident curb her taste for talking trash to her elders.If Mr.Artis is still on leave, did they fire him?Will they both plea down the charges.This is pretty bad for the both of them, next time stop the bus and put a fool out on the ground.
PrettyRed06, If they have to pay for that beating, his job is lost already. The union can only do so much for you with 25 YOUTUBE videos out there on the internet.He probably took an early retirement with his benefits in tact…I hope they are still available.
I pray all of those involved have learned their lesson.SMH
SHE is and although he could of not socked her this sends a bad message. Hell she deserved it.
I might be able to side with him if he hit her out of reflexes–like she swung and he swung right back. But he stopped the bus, got up and walked back to her and upper cutted her. That was calculated, against his company policy and he can’t even claim self defense.
i agree
Hood Rats please sit your asses down on public transportation.First it was "Soldier Girl" now its "Uppercut Girl".Y’all learning the hard way…
I totally get it on both side, cuz yea he a dude he dropped that shoulder on her and some may feel he went too far, I feel like if a person spit on me, they walkin away differnt..BUT thats all emotional..Fact is the bus driver was wrong because he was trained to avoid shit like this, he put everyone in danger when he began to verbally assault this girl and he had a responsibility NOT to,he work for the bus station, she dont they wasnt on the porch in the ghetto, so the swapping of insults was wrong and he was trained to do better. if she didnt have her money, stop the bus and put her off. He verbally attacking her lead to the assault. Im just saying I never seen a quiet motherfucker get choked, that all.
LOL…I aint never seen a quiet one get choked either.Too funny!
I don’t know how long they were going at it in real time but on the video she was yapping off at the mouth showing out for the others on the bus, talking about his mama, spit on him then put her hands on him.
She wanted to be a man and he took her out like one. Probably thought because he was old she could treat him any old way. She thought wrong. lol.
What got me was why she didn’t see that upper cut coming? He did a swinging round motion with his arm and then came up with his fist and socked her in the jaw. I was like "oh snap".
I bet she’ll think 3 times before she get in an old school dude’s face again.
see this debate could go down all day. But check this scene.
Bus driver: Ma’am im gone drive ONE block if you cant find your fare im gone have to stop and let you off.
Hood girl: Aight ni**a whatevea (or whatever other ratchedness)BUT NO FIGHT
The End
Whats so wrong wit that? Yea he had a job to do but damn. Sometimes you can set a scene for disaster, this not his first time having to deal with a person trying to get a free bus ride or that is ghetto outta control.You don’t call em ugly, cut up face, threaten to get family involved. what u do is pull over to let her off, not pull over n uppercut her ass. PUT HER ASS OFF THE BUS! he should be a pro at that after even 20 sum odd years on the job. Im embarrassed for him, and he was showing off just as much as she was for the bus riders. If i was his wife I would make him sleep on the couch indefinitely!
@china. I agree he would have NEVER EVER hit a white women like that .
ok you all need to quit trying to stick race into this…lol…im sure he would’ve clocked an asian had they spit on him and mistreated him the way she did….
play the race card when its needed…right now isnt the time to shuffle the deck
she about to be paid.
Maybe not, considering the way she instigated and struck him first. She can go after the company, but she won’t get much (if anything) based on her deplorable behavior. Too many witnesses and too much footage.
I say if she does get paid then every last one of the passengers on the bus need to sue her ass for endangering their lives as well. Also, I feel like she deserved what she got. Maybe he shouldn’t have went back and forth with her, but in one video he did tell her to get behind the yellow line…so he was gonna let her ride. And if he would’ve tried to put her off the bus, given her aggressiveness, do you really think she would’ve just got off? It would’ve been another altercation and the other passengers would’ve been late to their destinations as well. Yes, it’s not right for a man to hit a woman, but she spat on him! What would y’all do if that was your dad or grandfather? Would you be okay if he had just sat and took that? I sure as hell wouldn’t. I’d be on that bus looking for that bitch everyday! I’ve never been spit on before, but one of my good friends told me when her child’s father spit in her face, she lost it and went right into attack mode. Also, when he got up and was saying "You going to jail now", she squared up saying something like "What now n***a" like she was ready for a fight…so that’s what she got.
This man has been driving this bus for YEARS and probably endured some str8 bs-Shi’Dea(even her name hood) caught him on the wrong day. It’s evident she is used to popping off at the mouth and that’s the problem-this generation has no damn respect for their elders AT ALL. I’m in my 30s, and I wouldn’t dare do what she did to this man-I’m scared my momma will jump out the bushes and beat my ass!It’s a shame he will probably lose all he has worked for behind this because he knew better than to react like this, and she is gonna probably be a hood star forever, smdh. She honestly needs help because she is raising a child with those same horrible morals and values she displayed with her actions. Now would he have hit Becky like that?Doubt it-and that in turn says a lot about the value and general lack of respect for a black woman. It’s automatically assumed we all act like Shi’Dea and therefore can be treated any kinda way. In the end, they both messed up and have to be punished.
People really mad over this shit. who don’t do keyboard thuggin is me. so if u looking for a fight, you wont get one here buddy, that’s just my opinion, I don’t get paid for thinking people dang… some of y’all care more about his job than he do. LMAO.
the girl was clearly in the wrong. she deserved every bit of force behind that uppercut. everyone go sign the petition for him to keep his job. times are hard and everyone needs a job !
I guess I’m still old school when it comes to men dealing with women. I don’t believe a man should be hitting a female although n this instance she was clearly provoking him. That dude is old enough to keep his emotions out of it and for all you women leaving pro comments for the bus driver, don’t get it twisted, if he punched her like that then you all know that wasn’t his first time hitting a women.
Dana T.
I agree that’s what I was telling my co-workers he is probably a habitual woman beater
hahaha… Her ass deserved to get hit, for hitting that man while he was at work. He should have gotten a ticket or something, she should go to jail for assault. I don’t like that shit, like Rhianna & Chris Brown situation, how you gone be mad at this man for hitting her ass — when SHE HIT FIRST?!?! Momma said, ‘Keep your hands to yourself, and if someone hit you, hit them back.’
The girl was dead wrong. That man clearly defended his self against this female. I hope she seen her self and will learn to control her actions in the future!
I have tried hard to place blame on one person over the other and I just cant. I have seen several videos and different angles and maybe I am still missing something…#1 They BOTH were very disrespectful towards each other the driver threatened to even crash the bus THEN beat her ass, he also threatened to get his daughter and granddaughter. He also kept saying “spit on me, I dare you I dare, spit on me” during the course of ALL of this he stopped at least two times to let passengers off. You mean to tell me he could not have radioed in that this was happening, called the police, asked one of the nosey passengers to use their phones to call the police, or put her off the bus at one of the stops…He was just as much part of the drama as that chick was. He was NEVER worried about the other people on that bus or their safety and that is HIS job not hers.
The chick was dead wrong and seemed to be stalling by starting an argument just to get to where she needed to go clearly she was not looking for money. She was equally as disrespectful as he was threatening him with having her man to get him. NOW…I don’t believe she spit, hit AND chocked him as I have seen some people say. I can see she did something and it looked like a hit because NEVER at one time did he say “she spit on me”or did anyone on the bus say “she spit on him”…never and whatever it was last less than a second. Yes I know later after the fact the driver (and two passengers) said she did spit and hit him but I am not sure I believe she did all that. I think he was trying to justify what he did. Again, I do believe she hit him which was wrong.
Him hitting her…I cannot nor will I ever condone a man hitting a woman…ever. He was angry, frustrated because she wouldn’t shut up and just needed one reason to do what he did to her. The whole “you going to jail now” makes me think that he either think he is the law OR was trying to catch her off guard either way when he took the time to pull the bus over (NEVER wiping away the so called spit) got out of his seat it was not in self-defense. Had that been the case he could have just thrown her off the bus but like a child he wanted his lick back…I see two generations of ignorance and I hope that they both get what they deserve. Let me also say men are stronger than women and they were created that way on purpose not to be used as a weapon against them. He was very unprofessional . I definitely don’t think that he would have hit a man like that OR even hit her like that had a real man stepped in to defuse the situation. Not every man will appreciate what he did to that woman…he probably should watch his back for a while. Just my opinion…
You niipped this im s bud. If you’re aren’t a lawyer. You should be…
****if you’re not a lawyer, you should be.
She was wrong even after he hit her and then threw her off the bus.
This bitch came back at him in nano seconds like in a horror movie. She would not stay down or get off the bus.
They were gonna fight she started it & kept coming back to finish.
She needs this internet to reminder for the rest of her life how to behave.
This will always follow her which is atually a good thing.
I think the bus driver was more wrong because he was at work and should remain professional at all times. he should have called the police to have her removed. if there had been any children on the bus this could have upset them dearly. I will never condone a man hitting a woman like that especially if she had no didnt have a weapon he needed to be removed from his job.
I agree and you mentioned a great point as far as kids being on the bus…what people seem to fail to realize is he was on his job, not hanging in some alley. His behavior was VERY unprofessional and yes there is a standard that should be held to bus drivers, garbage men, news paper boys , lawyers and doctors! When you are on companies time you are representing them. Plus he is just too old to act the way he did…
I wish folks would stop trying to video everything for youtube and start standing for what is right. Had more people complained about her behavior v. trying to record it this just might have been a totally different situation. Instead he decided to egg her on and make her look like the fool she was acting.I wont even mention the "men" that sat on that bus during the situation and said NOTHING. Hell two of them even moved back!
Okay guys, I realize that I’m living in some different times now. Again, I’m old fashion when it comes to situations like this. That girl was not his physical equal and he should have followed protocol. His azz needs to be arrested along with her. Imagine someone hitting your mother or sister like that. That shit wouldn’t fly with me. I don’t know about some of y’all…
Exactly! He’s not her equal (and vice versa) but he’s old enough to know not to fight fire with fire.You gotta use water to difuse situations like that, and 20+ years, you know better. He was having a bad day, and you better hope your bus driver doesn’t react like that if you don’t have your fare!
This dumb girl is lucky he only uppercutted her ass and she deserved that shit she never should of swung on him while he was on the job he straight video game ko’d that hoe bwahahaahahahaha I was done when I seen that shit!!
Black women are disrespectful. Period. We are lucky to have people, like the bus driver, to knock some sense into them.
