19-year-old Ernestine Parker says she was attacked and beaten for 8 city
blocks by two men on a public bus in Maryland. Parker stated no one on the bus
would help her and the driver kept going without stopping during the incident.
This marks the second high profile beating of a public bus patron, as Shidea
Lane was beaten by a city bus driver after she allegedly hit him. The Judiciary
Report hopes this alarming trend of violence on bus transport in America will
stop, as it is unnecessary, dangerous, a safety hazard and will breed costly
lawsuits that can be avoided.
UPDATE: It was first reported Lane was a teen. However, she is 25-years-old.

Shidea Lane, the woman, who was on the receiving end of an
uppercut punch by a bus driver in Ohio, spoke out about the incident that saw
her physically beaten and tossed off a public bus in America. Lane got into an
argument with the bus driver and some witnesses stated she hit him.

The alleged blow led to the elderly bus driver decking Lane and
booting the woman from the bus. Lane refuses to comment on those claims and the
bus driver has been removed from his post. Naturally, the bus company will end
up on the receiving end of a lawsuit, over conduct precipitated by Lane and made
much worse by the bus driver's violent actions. If it is proven Lane hit the
driver first, he may sue or countersue her, claiming it was self-defense.
