Algonquin Student Drives Through OC Transpo Picket Line

[adamdeane]

get out of the way u stupid cunt

[KareenCasey]

get out of the fuckin way dumbass

[BurnTheDisease]

lol it's her fault.. first off, what the fuck are you doing picketing at a college? the students really don't have any say. and, why the fuck is this bitch going so close to this guys window? when he steps out, he looks like he's in his 20's. why the fuck would he have anything to do with what they're picketing? Ottawa has a very unique collection of IDIOTS, and she's just another on the shelf.

[jackiechan511]

Why did the union decide to picket at Alqonquin College instead of the transit divisions head office?

[stalkingcat123]

she wasnt hooked lol she is actually holding the fucking mirrior if you look closely she is an idiot. picketers will do just about anything to get what they want

[StogeyNightClub]

That woman better pay for his mirror 

[abc1000001]

Unfortunate, but I guess that is what happens when you illegally block people from getting to where they need to go. Accidents do happen, epecially when they won't get out of the way to be safe.

[FlingBoogers]

good! strikers have no right to interrupt OTHER peoples lives who have nothing to do with the strike!

[haithy]

The woman disappeared !!!

You can see her hanging on then you don't...

[mcgenetics]

The news made it seem like it was the drivers fault. Mirror's don't "hook" people. Where I'm from, when a motor vehicle is driving near you, you back the fuck up. Dummy.

[naturalraes]

This piece is slanted. She grabbed onto the mirrior and hung on, and wouldn't let go.

[totallytempo]

I support you ford taurus dude. Sucks the bitch broke your mirror.

[jackiechan511]

Okay maybe the actions of the driver here are dangerous but the strikers shouldn't go so far to block Algonquin College which had nothing to do with the strike.

[JamaicanMile]

i fucking hate the bus strike! ive been forced to take the fucking yellow school bus for almost two months now! thank God that the strike is over and the buses will be back on monday.

[rick83120]

Her ass should have been behind the wheel of a bus. Too fawking bad. It's a shame the mirror broke. It actually serves a purpose unlike our dead weight bus drivers.

[hardy83]

I hope she didn't scratch the car.

[hansom20]

HAHAHAHA Good for that driver! If that bitch wasn't in the driver's way, she wouldn't have been hit!

[asbestopluma]

Two words:

Water Balloons!

Do it on foot or from a bike, not from your car and you would never get caught. Wait for a really cold and windy day of course.

[uottawa08]

The City of Ottawa doesn't guarantee you transit service. The bus drivers are without a contract and therefore don't owe any of you a goddamn thing.

The union leader is an idiot and so is the mayor.

They are the ones that fucked this up, not the bus drivers.

Grow the fuck up.

[livetodan]

Last time I checked, if your job is to drive the bus, you have an obligation to drive the bus. The bus drivers decided to strike at possibly the worst time for the city for the main reason of getting what they wanted, like a spoiled child they think they deserve more but in reality they deserve nothing.

[EPICT0ASTER]

good.

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

Haha, fucking union.

At the World Juniors my buddy and I stood on the smoking rail for a game at the Civic Center launching snowballs at the strikers. Some wild Russian fans followed suit. Great stuff.

This is an excellent video!

[totallytempo]

Wow, even though you're a leafs fan I support that.

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

Hahah well that's good to know.

[shazziblink01]

That's too funny, I watched the bus driver of the bus (95) I got off at algonquin hit another girl that got off in front of me, and unlike the driver of this car the bus driver didn't even ask if she was ok. He instead looked at her like she did something wrong. I have to say Ottawa has some of the rudest bus drivers in the country. I actually cant believe the extent that some of them go to just to be rude to someone.

[sensfan22]

Dude, please share some of ur rude bus driver stories. I have plenty. They really r the rudest fuckin people ud ever meet on the face of this planet.

[777russ]

you are my hero

[makinawdandy6699]

I am going to rig my car up so I get some hooks on my mirrors so I am grab those fat mothr fuckers and drag them up and down the street. I will drag them all day long til there is just an ole dog colar left!!!!

Har-dee-har-har !!!!!!

PS Bus drivers, go fuck yourselves.

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

This strike has nothing to do with the drivers at this point, it's the fucking union.

[777Diem777]

It's time for the people of Ottawa to Rise Up and Revolt!! Mon Jan 26th 2008 Parlament Hill

[noexitsoon1]

Too bad he didn't kill them!

[phatty75]

1 down 2299 to go.

[gahris909]

A strike is supposed to generate public support to there cause. Unfortunately, this strike has caused the city to turn on the bus drivers due to there actions. On the news on CTV last night, there is a reported 50% increase in traffic accidents from January 1st to 18th. They state its a matter of time before people are found dead in there homes due to this strike! I wonder how many innocent people will be hurt, or even die because of the recklessness of this strike. Legal or not.

[JWallDW]

god dam bus strike

[joeybesta]

You people are disgusting and don't belong in civilized society. Getting to a community college class 3 minutes faster is more important than the life of a 53 year old grandmother? The idiot could have left earlier and parked on a side street instead of trying to kill someone. Fortunately he got what he deserved.

OC drivers are on a legal strike due to the actions of the mayor and city council. Direct your hate at them where it belongs and inform yourself of the issues.

[andyng85]

However, it seems clear that the result of picketing is the inconveniencing citizens. Why not picket outside of city hall instead?

[weedeater317]

Too bad the hag wasn't run over.

[noexitsoon1]

Fuck you asshole! Do you know how much trouble is it for us to get around town? Legal or not, TRYING TO STOP KIDS FROM GOING TO SCHOOL MAKES THEM A BUNCH OF LOW LIFE SHITS!

[lemonrind]

If you don't want to get hit by a car, you shouldn't block traffic.

[LuckyNinja]

Being that I've lost my job thanks to you selfish fucks, I've had plenty of time to research your "issues". Gee, considering long-haul transport drivers have to keep written records proving they've actually slept for safety reasons, I believe you steering-wheel jockeys zipping along in your tin-can crammed full of human cargo should have the rules applied doubly so.

Shame that protester didn't get caught in the fucking wheel well. I don't envy you retards when you eventually get back to work.

[MatthewCasey]

Hear hear. City bus drivers have the cushiest job in the transport industry. Transport truck drivers certainly do more work for less credit, and on that note, school bus drivers have infinitely more responsibilities than OC drivers, more hectic (and young) passengers, and make peanuts compared to them. The past 50 days were a serious abuse of their position as an essential service.

[robbpeppertree]

Good... take em' out one at a time.

[SimsRealityNetwork]

Whoooooo!!! The bitch got what she deserves!!

[mypassispassword]

that fatass was trying to prevent these kids, who paid and got good marks in high school, from getting to their classes, becuase theyre not happy with getting 30 dollars and hour for sitting on their ass all day. Serves that bitch right.

[Ozzie9661]

Alright well, as wrong as it may have been for the guy to charge on despite pedestrian obstructions, I find it difficult to have sympathy for someone who approaches a moving vehicle with the intent to obstruct its passage.

Part of being responsible for yourself means taking responsibility for your own safety, and not acting like an ass. When there is oncoming traffic, get out of the way. If you knowingly enter the path of an oncoming vehicle, you are being stupid and are inviting injury.

[ninetysevenastro]

WOOT WOOT, keep up the good work people, hit many many more that decide to get in our way! we ar winning!

[biscuitsryan]

Should just ran them all over for real.... gd oc

[bkhakhout]

Imagine if he ran over your mom and your dad. What u will say

[biscuitsryan]

If it was a heartless oc transpo driver?? what would anyone say? I wish all of you drivers the worst. I hope the most terrible things in the world happen to you. You have destoryed thousands of lives for your greed. go die in a hole somewhere because no matter what you ever say or do at this point. your lives have been forefit.

[FriedKitties]

VICTORY!

[Jogonpants]

OC Transpo has been on Strike for a long time. people are fed up, just completely fed up. What does the Union expect after being on Strike this long? Happy compliant citizens? I'm surprised there hasn't been a riot.

[Nerium2008]

This is getting blown out of proportion. The video really doesn't show us anything except for a car driving with a woman running along side it. We don't see her being hit or dragged. I keep reading in all of the newspapers that she was 'hit, then dragged'. One person claimed that he got out and yelled profanities. If this was all caught on tape, how come we're not being showed the full version so that we can judge for ourselves?

[skootles]

"the driver's mirror hooks one of the strikes and drags her" ... doesn't sound like "hit" to me, but I'd understand getting hit by a mirror and getting snagged on it is still getting hit by a car nonetheless.

As well, if you think she's just running alongside for shits and giggles, then you're just ignorant.

And as for the whole tape, who knows if the cameraman stopped recording or not. Even if he didn't, they obviously felt that they shouldn't be showing this 'confrontation' on the news

[eyeluvku]

Do any of you morons not realize that what he did is wrong no matter how you look at it. Some of those bus drivers walking the line don't want to be there but majority rules and they have to follow. They have to picket or not get paid. Grow up people, there is always 2 sides to every story. Nothing is black or white....there will always be gray areas. I'm appalled, shocked and disgusted at the comments posted here.

[sugarrayemery]

Canada = Free Country.

Moron.

She deserved worse than she got.

[eyeluvku]

He hit her for God's sake!!!!! He sped through a picket line!!! Go back to your video games if you can't live in the real world as a responsible adult!

[paradigmious]

"Go back to your video games if you can't live in the real world as a responsible adult!"

Someone should go tell that to the bus drivers.

[paradigmious]

How can you defend people who are responsible for the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people? How can you defend people who have for more than thirty days been so willing to abuse and torture the elderly, the weak, and the impoverished?

On the other hand...

People think that just because they own a car, anyone who doesn't isn't human. I've never walked a picket line, but I've almost been run down by Ottawa drivers hundreds of times.

Then again, everyone on that line owns a car...

[eyeluvku]

You can turn that around and point the finger at the City too! Who's to blame for the mess. All I'm saying is the guy in the car ran a picket line,snagged a woman's coat and dragged her.What has happened to society that people can condone this type of behavior. Did he apologize,no he came out cursing and calling her names. The woman is a close personal friend for the past 37 years,I still say he's wrong! What if the fall cracked her skull and killed her? Would you still be laughing?? Hope not!

[paradigmious]

Oh, I'm not laughing. Not whatsoever.

I don't condone vehicular manslaughter, attempted or successful. The particular way in which this individual abused his right (no, privilege) to drive a motor vehicle was shameful and immoral, let alone illegal. I would hope he was arrested and this video used as evidence in a court of law.

I was simply pointing out that the picketers are themselves not innocent of any wrongdoing, whether or not they have a legal strike according to our labour laws.

[paradigmious]

But yes, I agree that the mere fact that the people on the picket line may come to be responsible and misery of the elderly, the poor, and the weak does not condone someone ramming through them with a car.

This is Canada, not some Godforsaken third world dictatorship. People have rights in our country, whether they're right or wrong, innocent or criminal, rich or poor.

Especially in Ottawa.

[paradigmious]

I allowed my anger and frustration about the bus strike to cloud my better judgment when I made that first post, redirecting your quote.

Unfortunately, I'm possessed of a rather odd sense of humour.

[starvolume]

turn them all into speedbumps

[kazrules2007]

lol right on. The clown deserved it.I hate them all and so does everyone else. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to be a bus driver and they're all showing how stupid they really are.Hope all the old fucks get layed off ...

[Stokes880706]

This strike has gone on for long enough! I give props to this kids for taking things into his own actions. Like trying to get around this damn city was hard enough with the busses, now we have none? Like wtf, Im just waiting till a picketer actually gets really hurt, then what are they gonna do?

[paradigmious]

Umm... they could call the police and give them the kid's licence plate number?

You see, here in Canada, we have these little things called 'laws' that say people can't do things that hurt other people. When people DO these things, it's called 'breaking the law', and things happen.

A Crown Prosecutor gathers some evidence and tells a decision-maker, called a 'Judge', why and how he thinks the guy broke the law.

Then another guy, familiar with the law, tries to see if the Crown is wrong.

[NotOurCause]

As soon as he hit the person he should of stopped the car ,there is no reason to drag the person down the street,thats analogously wrong, even in the heat of the moment .

[makinawdandy6699]

My submission was joke. I am tired of this crap. We need another source of transport bad.

[sabram24]

haha looks good on the dumb bitch. That kid is my fucking hero. Fucking union clowns. Your uneducated monkeys who resort to terrorism. Go fuck yourselves.

[makinawdandy6699]

The kid should not get any assault charge. Actually, the bus drivers should get charged with getting their grubby greasy hands on the car. If I see a bus driver, I will be driving my car right over him like a speed bump!

[hippy101ca]

Does this not show the frustration. Also didn't the city say people could park there? This is insane GO BACK TO WORK

[ubalstecha]

The kid should be charge with vehicular assault, dangerous driving and anything else they can throw at him. Getting to class on time does not justify endangering someone's life.

[777russ]

fuck you

[carnage0069]

The bus drivers have let this strike go on far too long, they are going to have to expect this sort of treatment. People with no money and nowhere to turn are getting screwed over. Why the hell should someone scraping by worry about people with no education that are making 100,000 per year? So as 777russ said, "fuck you". People are likely going to start getting violent, so i doubt this is the last of it.

[weedeater317]

If that kid's mirror was damaged, the lousy fuckin' union should pay.

[LordJonathan420]

agreed..but it was alright broken before that (taped on) so I heard...

[phd1969]

This kid must be an expert at GTA. Bonus points!

[gayclown10]

Hope they remain on strike as LONG as it takes - tried WALKING? Enjoy freezing! :D

[funkinstein]

heh such a fuck
