this happened to me earlier this morning just wanted to talk about it

i left this morning on a greyhound bus to go and see my bf, we live thrre hours apart. the bus was really crowded and i was sitting towars the front. oh, i should tell you i live in michigan. anyways half way thru the bus trip this girl goes up to the bus driver and says that there was a guy on the back of the bus that was trying to stab the girl sitting in front of him. the bus driver stopped the bus and called the cops (the guy looked sort of like charles manson)he wasn't wearing a shirt and it like 10 degrees up here. his arm was all cut up and nasty looking. the girl was ok nothing happened to her. but man this whole ordeal is creeping me out.

that IS pretty creepy ...

was she okay? what happened?

the girl that he tried to stab was supposely sitting with her bf, so her bf kinda grabbed the guy and the another girl ran up to the bus to tell the bus driver. i was sitting in the front of the bus so i didn't see to much of what went on. the bus driver went to the back of the bus and dragged the guy off and called the cops. in the meantime while we were waiting for the cops the guy was walkin down the middle of the highway in front of traffic i guess he was pretty wasted. so there was like about three our four cop cars. they threw him down on the ground and arrested him. the girl ended up being ok she didn't get stabbed. she was a young girl probably about 18 years old.

Daaaamn... that's nuts.

Sucks ass but the real word can be a damn tough place. they say to use the lion in the jungle persona and try not to put yourself in situations like that

Example:
1. Don't go to gas stations in crappy parts of town (think ahead of time and fill up before hand)
2. don't ride the bus if you can help it. Try to make your boyfriend come and get you or drive to him, costs more but just a smarter way to go.

Now that i think about it i would not watn my girl riding a bus to see me.

Ok where the hell in michigan do you live?????

Ouch...! Ok I am staying here...well I guess its dangerous anywhere!
Supposely Winnipeg is the Province with the most murder in Canada.. and I live here...

hi rose bud i live right outside of grand rapids. this happened in rockford. the dude was going to battle creek.

OK, I live in Madison heights... The way you were talking i was thinking you lived in detroit or something! My god! I knew Grandrapids had some bad parts but I didn't realize they were like that. Goodness gracious!

yeah me either i was traveling to fenton. don't know if you have heard of fenton? the scary thing is that he was coming from grayling. grayling's gettin kinda crazy!

Grayling.. isn't too bad considering it's further up north. Yes I'm pretty familar with most of Michigan. I haven't been to Fenton, but I haven't heard anything bad about it.

try living in the philippines. i'm used to that sh**.

try living in Guatemala ... the country where most people dissapear in the world ... guess why ... yes , murders and mafia , gangs .also ... mythstical shit .

also , when i was there , 11 y old , i was in the bus , on my x-mas trip ... so 2 guys start fighting in the bus for some dumb reason , the bus driver pulls out a gun and tells them to get out ... they proceed to get out and take out weapons out of their pants and bags ...

one had a metal baseball bat in one hand and a small knife on the other hand

the other a huge army knife like Rambo or something

... the bus left them in the middle of a highway on a mountain ... we dont know what happened to them ... guess they died .

ps : when they left the bus , one of them was already stabbed .

well this might sound crazy but it kinda doesn't make sense that we are checked for weapons and such on airplane trips but not on bus trips. it really doesn't make sense to me.

Well, I think you can do more damage with an airplane if you were to hijack that than with a bus. I could be wrong though since I don't know much about buses and what they can do.

buses can cause major damage ... ever seen the movie speed ?

lol Yes I saw that movie.

You know how slow getting to place to place already is on the bus? Imagine how SLOWER it would be if they had to check EVERYONE for weapons... not to mention you have to hire security (probably more than 1 incase you do have a situation) - cause what happens when someone does have a weapon on them and they still insist on ridin the bus? Think 43 year old Leroy the bus driver is gonna be able to handle it?

Not to mention the cost of installing metal detectors on all buses... Then after that they will start having security checks before gettin into cabs... then before you enter your own car..

yea , and it wouodnt be efficient because its not everyday everywhere that this sort of thing happends ...

uggh , i dont want minority report to become reality .

LoL - good movie though.

Small things. (as for the topic)

But I wonder why every single thread ends up in total offtopic.
I go away for three hours and already threads are 3 pages long... Isn't this forum moderated?

Well bubba think about it. How many times do you see the same topics over and over in this forum? There's only so much you can say about the same shit over and over.

And anyways - this thread did for the most part stay on topic.

Actually wait - no... wrong answer - sorry - the right answer is "It's just us stupid Americans." My bad.

Yes I think that they should check in bus too! I agree with that... you never know when people will go nuts...sometime it take just a little tick and snap... they go..

First off having a thread moderated doesn't mean it's supposed to stay on topic. And see this is what we call "freedom of speech" in America!

So it's north, central and south Americans?
