Am I an asshole or a good samaritan?

redbreegull · 10-22-2007, 01:53 PM

I live outside DC and just witnessed a Metro bus run a red light and almost kill some people. I followed the bus and got the number and reported it. There's a camera at that intersection so the driver is pretty much fucked. Am I an asshole for getting this person fired or did I do a good deed by getting this fuck off the road?

topleybird · 10-22-2007, 01:58 PM

Are you seriously asking if reporting a near vehicular manslaughter makes you an asshole

Good job following and doing something about it, though; most people wouldn't

bardy · 10-22-2007, 02:01 PM

yeah I don't see what you did wrong. I'm sure the bus driver thinks you're an asshole but apparently his judgement isn't the best.

jczeroman · 10-22-2007, 02:02 PM

well done.

redbreegull · 10-22-2007, 02:04 PM

I feel bad about probably getting this person fired even if they do deserve it.

jczeroman · 10-22-2007, 02:05 PM

you are an idiot if you think that. they don't deserve their job.

Future Boy · 10-22-2007, 02:10 PM

If you are an asshole its for a different reason.

Like enjoying the Foo Fighters, I'm sure

smashingjj · 10-22-2007, 03:00 PM

You're an asshole, the bus driver knew exactly what he was doing

monkeyfritters · 10-22-2007, 03:07 PM

since i live in the dc area those could have been my peeps that almost got run over by the bus. you are a hero to me.

since my dad just got fired from his job as a bus driver im also wondering if you are the reason my parents just cut off funding for my college education.

DeviousJ · 10-22-2007, 03:20 PM

See, on top of everything else you kept monkeyfritters out of college. You're practically Mother Teresa at this point

monkeyfritters · 10-22-2007, 03:22 PM

im still in college i just have to pay for it myself now.

you put monkeyfritters into the poor house.

poor, poor monkeyfritters.

bus driver in the DC area has got to be black, so no you are not an asshole

this morning i saw a guy throw a cigarette but out of his window. i was too much of a cowards to go attack him

<sp3 · 10-22-2007, 04:17 PM

jczeroman · 10-22-2007, 05:12 PM

- clearly the bus driver is a government employee and therefore the scum of the earth
- he drives a government bus, which should be impounded - it's ashes scattered reverently on Milton Friedman's grave
- the people in the way were probably socialists and deserved to be run over anyway
- redbreegull typifies a fascist fear of authority complex and should be ashamed and simultaneously ridiculed
- the people should have been carrying guns to shoot/kill the bus driver
- they could have at least shot out the tires action-hero style
- all the idiots on the bus paid their fare with FIAT money
- if the air around the bus were propertized we wouldn't have had this problem
- private buses have never killed anyone
- also the bus driver must not be tipped
- even if his next job is waitering below minimum wage
- even if the bus driver was eulogy

dude, a guy got fired from his job for serving me alcohol. THAT makes me feel bad.

Eric Blair · 10-23-2007, 06:38 AM

I work at a liquor store and the other day the cops sent an underage kid in to buy beer to see if I'd ID him or not. Thankfully I did or else I would be $20,000 in debt right now. The police here are slimy pricks. The guy was 17 and had a fucking beard.

I'm assuming the guy got fired because you were under age?

I would have reported it. Today I helped a blind guy by telling him his bus was coming up soon.

pale blue eyes · 10-23-2007, 02:49 PM

I don't see how you could be considered an asshole while reporting some dude who clearly should not be driving a bus. There are already enough people on the road who cannot drive, and this guy is being paid to be out there even though he cannot drive. I would have done the same thing.
