 Posted: 15:33 - 17 Mar 2010 Post subject: man on bus (wanker)-shouting racial abuse at mrs today |
 |
|
My mrs took the bus today and as she was getting off, she realised that a drunk looking man (bit rowdy) in his late teens/early twenties had been saying something to her.
She was unable to hear exactly what he was saying as she had her headphones in her ears listening to music. So she just said "excuse me", but by that time she was already starting to walk off the bus (the guy stayed on).
She said although she didn't catch what he was saying, she said he was looking angry and sounded pissed off.
When she was off the bus, a woman said to her that the guy was really out of order.
My mrs explained she hadn't actually heard him so the woman told her what he said.
Apparently the gist of what he said to her was
"why don't you fuck off back to your own country, nigger" and a few other sentances along those lines. He was with a couple mates who were sniggering among themselves.
Now this really pissed me off when she told me and made me wish I was there. He probably wouldn't of said fuck all if she was with a bloke.
Nothing like this as ever happened since I've been with the mrs, the area we live in is practically a 99.9 % white town,so its rare to see a black person, but its generally fairly quiet.
What annoys me more than anything is I don't give a shit if the guy has his own personal racist viewpoint, but he is just trying to make my mrs, a woman, someone smaller and weeker than him uncomfortable and embarressed just becuase he can and because he knows she can't stand up to him.
He probably had a look at the people on the bus, judged that there was also no one else who could stand up for her (all woman, kids and old people on bus) and then started having a go.
I bet he would of sat quiet as a mouse if there was some big beefy black guy sat on the bus. I know she didn't realise at the time but its not the point.
I can't see the point in reporting it the police as it won't acheive anything. I hope one day she points him out to me when were in town.
Anyway rant over

That was my very first thought when I read the thread title.
To the OP:
Most buses do have CCTV, so if you girlfriend still has her ticket (assuming it wasn't a season card), the depot will be able to find out which bus it was and download the footage. Whether anything will come of it if she complains to the police is another matter.
If it happens again, she should complain to the driver. I've had it happen a few times on my bus. Whenever I've witnessed something like this happening, or someone complains to me about another passenger on board, I've always gone to the animal in question and asked to see their pass (they're usually dole dossing smack-heads with concession passes), taken the pass off them and told them they'll be able to retrieve their pass from the police station, as I'll be heading down there after my shift to make a complaint. They always kick up a stink, but I then offer to get the police to the bus right away to resolve the issue, which usually gets them off the bus quick enough. Got a round of applause from the other passengers last time I did that! (albeit a few years back now).
The police have never followed my complaints up, but the council certainly refused to re-instate their free travel pass! ____________________ 1977 Honda CG125

Extreme views are one thing but you'd have to be a twat to say something. Especially to a woman.  |

@ title change.
The little unmentionable on the bus needs a proper kicking. Might be the only way to make him understand that it's unacceptable to be a gobshite. ____________________ Go back to bed - You have no rights - "Streetfighters ~ Mainstream motorcycling's crackwhore sister." |

Accusations of Racism are one the things that need no evidence for the initial arrest. If you ring 999 and lie that someone has been racist towards you they will just nick that person no questions, will be released but will have the trouble of being arrested.
I found this out through my bitch of a egyptian neighbour... ____________________ [Current Bikes - GSXR-750 K5 & C90-97 ] [Previous Bikes: Runner 125, YBR 125, GS500, Bandit 600, Hornet 600, ZX6R-99, C90-99, R1-99, XT600E-04, GSXR-750 K4, CRF250L '16] |

Old Thread Alert!
