"I'm in the Washington DC area on business, and this was covered in the local news this (Thursday) evening. The news didn't mention that the bus driver had gotten involved in an argument between two students, but it did include several man/woman on the street interviews that elicited responses such as "we need to check out our bus drivers more carefully." The family of the kid who was attacked now has a lawyer, so I bet that a civil suit (or threat of one) results from this." - Ontario Emperor
