It’s too bad if some woman gets attacked and thrown off a bus by a gang of youths.
But the reality is: people should know better than to try to talk to youths at all. This woman is black, so she apparently thought she could get away with it, but that’s not how it works.
Shocking video captures a group of teens viciously assaulting a woman and throwing her off a Washington, DC, bus – because she asked them to stop using “foul language.”
Kyla Thurston, a passenger on the DC Metrobus, told the rowdy teens to stop cursing Monday after a woman and a young child boarded, Fox 5 DC reported.
“At that point, the kids became unruly. They started being disrespectful, like saying things to me,” Thurston, 42, told the news outlet.
“Then next thing you know, there were objects being thrown at me, and I was just like, ‘Thank You, Lord,’ because throughout the whole incident the only thing I could recall was the kids hitting me and kicking me — and I had no defense,” she added.
“The only thing I said was, ‘Can y’all stop the abusive language?’” Thurston later told WJLA.

She said she asked the driver to stop but he kept driving at first.
“The bus driver made no attempt to stop the bus. He didn’t alert local authorities or anything to my defense,” Thurston told Fox 5 DC.
“Even after I’m yelling at the top of my lungs, ‘Stop the bus! Let me off the bus!’ the bus driver never stopped.”
After the driver finally stopped, the distressing video shows the woman trying to fend off her attackers before they aggressively shove her off the bus.
She told the station that she was bruised and that her neck was hurt in the shocking attack – adding that she is still suffering emotionally from the beatdown.
“Watching the video myself personally, it startled me — and I’m still startled about it,” Thurston said. “I didn’t want to come forth at first, but I don’t fear nobody but the Lord.”
Well, that’s a good attitude.
But just because you don’t fear anyone doesn’t mean that you purposefully put yourself in danger when there is literally nothing to be gained. That goes from “God-fearing” to “stupid.”
You really end up then deserving what you get. It’s not like you didn’t know young black males are a violent menace.
