[00:00:00]  A shocking video tonight shows a passenger starting a fight with the City of Albuquerque bus driver.
[00:00:06]  But it ends with the driver facing murder charges.
[00:00:10]  We have to warn you, the video is graphic and may be hard to watch.
[00:00:14]  Research team's Gabe Chavez shows you how it all unfolded in just two minutes.
[00:00:20]  A violent start to a July morning in northwest Albuquerque, one that quickly turned deadly.
[00:00:26]  The city bus driven by 41-year-old David Galbadone was making its rounds around 6.30.
[00:00:32]  He picked up two passengers along Coors, but one had something to say about his punctuality.
[00:00:43]  The taxi will get you there on title.
[00:00:45]  The older passenger continues griping out Galbadone, who fires back.
[00:00:50]  We ain't leaving nowhere, guys, till this guy gets off the bus.
[00:00:53]  He stopped the bus near Coors in Hanover and demanded the older man get out or he's not moving.
[00:00:58]  Passengers were annoyed.
[00:00:59]  Raymond Cohen steps into the argument.
[00:01:02]  When you're saying the rest of us here, said that we shut up, yeah, that's not the best didn't say.
[00:01:07]  So what do you want me to say?
[00:01:08]  It goes south fast, with Cohen throwing the first punch.
[00:01:14]  Yeah, got a new show for y'all.
[00:01:16]  Got a damn good show.
[00:01:17]  Before we get to today's video, I want to tell you about my new giveaways.

[00:01:28]  I'm on the bus driver's side.
[00:01:30]  That bus driver's a jerk.
[00:01:31]  Yeah, but the customer came in and called him out.
[00:01:34]  You always late.
[00:01:36]  Well, what happens on public transportation, I get it.
[00:01:38]  But then the bus driver's talking condescending to him like he's got all this money to get a taxi.
[00:01:43]  Won't you get a taxi?
[00:01:44]  Get you there faster.
[00:01:45]  People that's on the bus, they're flat broke.
[00:01:48]  He knows it.
[00:01:49]  The bus driver knows it.
[00:01:50]  So he said, I know how to get him.
[00:01:51]  I'll be kind of saying, won't you just get you a taxi?
[00:01:53]  Get your lot there.
[00:01:54]  Get your lot.
[00:01:55]  Get you there a lot quicker.
[00:01:57]  I mean, beggars can't be, you know, choosers.
[00:01:59]  But exotic, if you're taking public transportation, you can't be like being condescending and patronizing to the bus driver either.
[00:02:08]  I think both of them are in the wrong.
[00:02:10]  Both of them are idiots.
[00:02:11]  I'm with the bus driver.
[00:02:13]  Okay, let's see if you see.
[00:02:14]  I'm with the bus driver.
[00:02:15]  Okay, let's see if you stick.
[00:02:16]  You don't like it?
[00:02:16]  You can go shoot videos with somebody else.
[00:02:18]  How about that?
[00:02:23]  All right.
[00:02:24]  Let's watch this.
[00:02:24]  I'm going to see if you stick with yourself fast with Cohen throwing the first punch.
[00:02:32]  Galbadone grabs Pepper Spray.
[00:02:36]  The two eventually separate.
[00:02:37]  Cohen goes to the back and Galbadone leaves the bus in anger.
[00:02:40]  Video cameras on the bus show Cohen.
[00:02:43]  So he gets off the bus.
[00:02:44]  He said, I had enough of this.
[00:02:45]  Why is he getting off the bus?
[00:02:47]  I guess he got, I guess he's trying to get some fresh air.
[00:02:49]  I don't know.
[00:02:50]  What do you think he's getting off the bus?
[00:02:51]  He got some purple spray in his face.
[00:02:53]  He's trying to get some fresh air.
[00:02:54]  He shouldn't have got off the bus.
[00:02:56]  Why?
[00:02:56]  He should just go.
[00:02:58]  Oh, I see what you're saying.
[00:03:00]  Cohen watching the bus driver.
[00:03:01]  Cohen then exits from the back of the bus where the fight then continues outside.
[00:03:06]  Galbadone can be seen reaching back.
[00:03:09]  Look at this crazy dude getting off the bus.
[00:03:14]  Public reputation is like a minimal asylum.
[00:03:18]  It is.
[00:03:18]  Every inner city.
[00:03:19]  Look at the dude getting off the bus.
[00:03:21]  They got a senses.
[00:03:23]  Yeah.
[00:03:25]  Hold on.
[00:03:26]  I want to see him get off the bus.
[00:03:27]  Continues outside.
[00:03:28]  Gobbledone can be seen reaching back and grabbing what appears to be a knife.
[00:03:32]  You can see him stab Cohen at least twice on camera.
[00:03:35]  Cohen is seen backing away, cursing, and Galbadone goes after him again.
[00:03:41]  You still with the bus driver?
[00:03:43]  Yeah, I'm still with the bus driver.
[00:03:44]  He's stabbing him twice.
[00:03:47]  Well, he threw the first punch, right?
[00:03:49]  What the hell's wrong with you?
[00:03:51]  We mean what the hell's wrong with me?
[00:03:52]  He got off the bus.
[00:03:53]  The dude that got off the bus in the back, back of the bus that he was fighting with, he pursued him.
[00:03:58]  I know.
[00:03:59]  I'm with the bus driver.
[00:04:01]  You didn't see how he's the bus driver after he stabbed him twice, he follows him?
[00:04:06]  Yeah, that was wrong.
[00:04:07]  But with the two stabbings, I'm cool with that.
[00:04:10]  Okay, but this part right here, backing away, cursing, and Gobadon goes after him again.
[00:04:16]  You admit that's crazy, right?
[00:04:18]  No, well, he's been fighting with this dude.
[00:04:20]  He lost his cool.
[00:04:22]  Well, he just being human.
[00:04:27]  Keith, I'm with the bus driver.
[00:04:28]  He shouldn't have pursued him after the fact.
[00:04:31]  Okay.
[00:04:31]  But he was getting off the bus to get him some fresh air.
[00:04:34]  All right?
[00:04:35]  The other guy pursued him, tried to swing some more.
[00:04:38]  So Chubby's crazy.
[00:04:42]  Yeah, that's self-defense, though.
[00:04:44]  Okay.
[00:04:45]  I think.
[00:04:46]  Again, even as Cohen tries to leave, according to court documents, the two end up in front of a gas station and kept fighting.
[00:04:53]  Cohen eventually.
[00:04:55]  That's crazy.
[00:04:55]  The bus driver pursued him.
[00:04:57]  Right.
[00:04:57]  And he kept fighting.
[00:04:58]  You still think the bus driver's in the right?
[00:05:00]  Not now, no.
[00:05:01]  No.
[00:05:02]  But he had the right to defend himself.
[00:05:04]  Yeah, he has the right to defend himself, but he doesn't have to pursue him to another place and continue the fight.
[00:05:09]  Well, maybe he still thinks he's a threat.
[00:05:15]  Hey, Kev, that's...
[00:05:16]  What's wrong with you?
[00:05:17]  That dude died.
[00:05:18]  He did?
[00:05:19]  Well, Keith, I don't know this.
[00:05:20]  You already saw the dude.
[00:05:21]  You didn't hear that at the beginning of the video.
[00:05:23]  He died.
[00:05:24]  Oh, I didn't hear that part.
[00:05:25]  Sorry.
[00:05:26]  Yeah, that ain't funny.
[00:05:28]  She goes down.
[00:05:29]  Officers arrive minutes later.
[00:05:31]  Cohen is taken to UNMH, but does not survive.
[00:05:34]  Gobladon is arrested.
[00:05:36]  Gabe Chavez, K-R-Q-E, News 13.
[00:05:39]  Double Dawn is facing first-degree murder.
[00:05:41]  A judge ordered that he be held in jail until his trial.
[00:05:45]  A grand jury indicted him today.
[00:05:48]  You didn't know he died, huh?
[00:05:49]  That's why he's laughing.
[00:05:50]  No, I missed that part.
[00:05:51]  But no, it's not funny.
[00:05:53]  You crazy getting stabbed.
[00:05:54]  That's life or death.
[00:05:56]  Yeah, no.
[00:05:57]  I thought he, like, cut him.
[00:06:00]  No, he died.
[00:06:01]  Hey, Keith, but I mean...
[00:06:05]  Oh, I don't think that's first degree.
[00:06:06]  I don't think it's first degree.
[00:06:08]  He didn't plan to kill that dude.
[00:06:09]  He lost his school.
[00:06:10]  No, he didn't plan to kill him.
[00:06:11]  I think it's.
[00:06:12]  Yeah.
[00:06:12]  When you stab somebody, what you think you're doing?
[00:06:14]  Hey, Keith, he's on the bus.
[00:06:15]  That other dude, the dude that ended up dying, he threw the first punch.
[00:06:20]  I totally understand that.
[00:06:21]  He effed around and found out.
[00:06:23]  I understand that.
[00:06:24]  But once he got off the bus, he's getting off the bus.
[00:06:27]  Why are you getting off the bus re-escalating the situation?
[00:06:29]  I don't think he got off the bus to re-escalate.
[00:06:31]  I think you're trying to get him some fresh air.
[00:06:32]  I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
[00:06:33]  He's a city worker.
[00:06:39]  That dude's a nut.
[00:06:40]  Yeah, and the other dude's a nut too.
[00:06:43]  Nuts die all the time.
[00:06:44]  Yeah, but he deserved first degree.
[00:06:46]  I don't think he pursued him after the fight's over.
[00:06:50]  After he's poked him twice, he walks away and they get in the fight again.
[00:06:55]  Why?
[00:06:55]  If it's first, okay, I'll go to the job, get in your bus and leave.
[00:06:59]  Yeah, I know, but maybe he needed some fresh air.
[00:07:00]  Maybe he's got asthma.
[00:07:01]  I don't know.
[00:07:02]  But the other guy pursued him at first when they both got off the bus.
[00:07:05]  Now, the bus driver messed up when he pursued him.
[00:07:08]  When did he, um, what was the fatal blow?
[00:07:10]  The fatal, the fatal blow.
[00:07:12]  It probably looked like forensic files over here.
[00:07:17]  You think I got access to all the case files?
[00:07:20]  Yeah.
[00:07:20]  Now, this is what I'm trying to say, and this is why I brought that up.
[00:07:23]  If the fatal blow was after the fact when he was pursuing him, when that dude was trying to walk away after he didn't stab him, I would say that's that's definitely more than likely what happened.
[00:07:35]  It's definitely murder.
[00:07:36]  That's definitely what happened.
[00:07:38]  Yeah, but I don't think it's first degree.
[00:07:40]  What do you think it is?
[00:07:41]  Third degree crime of passion, like second degree murder.
[00:07:45]  Because Keith, he's the bus driver.
[00:07:46]  That dude threw the first punch.
[00:07:48]  He sucked him real good in the face.
[00:07:49]  Honestly.
[00:07:50]  And that dude's, man, how many times you get sucked in the face?
[00:07:52]  You gonna sit there and stay calm?
[00:07:54]  You think I'm behaving like this dude right here?
[00:07:57]  You think I'm behaving like him?
[00:07:59]  First of all, you think I'm talking, I'm on public transportation.
[00:08:02]  There's a bunch of nuts getting on my bus every day.
[00:08:04]  You think I'm gonna talk condescending to these people?
[00:08:07]  Anything will set them up?
[00:08:08]  They already broke.
[00:08:09]  They ain't got no money.
[00:08:10]  They ain't got no money for a car.
[00:08:11]  I'm gonna talk down to them.
[00:08:13]  You think I'm doing that?
[00:08:14]  Calm down.
[00:08:14]  Calm down.
[00:08:15]  You think I'm gonna do that?
[00:08:16]  He drives the same route.
[00:08:17]  He knows every last one of these nut jobs.
[00:08:20]  He knows all of them.
[00:08:21]  He bets you, and I guarantee you, there's some back and forth been going on for quite some time.
[00:08:26]  And it escalated.
[00:08:28]  Well, he's a nut.
[00:08:29]  Yeah.
[00:08:30]  He's the biggest nut.
[00:08:31]  This dude is.
[00:08:33]  I think the dude that ended up losing his life, he's the bigger nut.
[00:08:37]  Because he instigated everything.
[00:08:39]  No, he's the biggest nut.
[00:08:40]  He takes.
[00:08:42]  He uses a knife killer.
[00:08:43]  That's nutty.
[00:08:44]  Yeah.
[00:08:46]  But I don't think it's first degree.
[00:08:48]  Crime of patch, second degree.
[00:08:50]  Yeah, you'll make it.
[00:08:51]  Who cares?
[00:08:52]  What bus driver gets on a bus and say, I'm going to try to, I'm going to take someone's life today?
[00:08:57]  I get that.
[00:08:59]  You putting all the onus on the bus driver.
[00:09:01]  The dude is human.
[00:09:02]  No, see.
[00:09:03]  You know how much crap that dude puts up everybody.
[00:09:08]  A chief comes up with the ponytail, starts sock in your face.
[00:09:11]  Every day you're getting belittled.
[00:09:13]  You're getting trash talked to you.
[00:09:14]  And it just culminated into this.
[00:09:18]  That dude trying to calm down.
[00:09:19]  He walks off the bus, gets the fresh eye, trying to calm down.
[00:09:22]  He's probably shaking.
[00:09:24]  That was a crazy fistfight.
[00:09:28]  And he lost his school.
[00:09:29]  It's a crime of passion.
[00:09:29]  I don't think it's first degree.
[00:09:30]  And I very seriously doubt they convict him of first degree.
[00:09:33]  You ain't no true Republican.
[00:09:35]  Huh?
[00:09:35]  You ain't no Republican.
[00:09:36]  We're tough on crime.
[00:09:37]  I'm a judge.
[00:09:39]  I'm a prosecutor.
[00:09:40]  I'm going for first degree.
[00:09:42]  You know what?
[00:09:43]  I ain't giving you no bail as a judge.
[00:09:45]  Nah, man, that dude's a city worker.
[00:09:46]  He passed a background check.
[00:09:47]  The dude's obviously a decent guy.
[00:09:50]  This is Albuquerque, New Mexico.
[00:09:52]  It's a blue state.
[00:09:53]  Right.
[00:09:53]  You think they actually do background checks on city workers in Albuquerque?
[00:09:58]  That blue state?
[00:09:59]  Are you crazy?
[00:10:00]  Just because the blue state don't mean it.
[00:10:02]  Hold on back.
[00:10:02]  Oh, big states are.
[00:10:03]  They gained 10 points during the last election.
[00:10:05]  They still crazy out there.
[00:10:07]  Ain't that where that judge was helping that illegal immigrant?
[00:10:09]  Yeah.
[00:10:09]  Game of gun.
[00:10:10]  Yeah.
[00:10:10]  A judge.
[00:10:12]  It's the same state.
[00:10:13]  Yeah, I'm thinking the dude ended up.
[00:10:15]  Shut up.
[00:10:16]  Stop thinking.
[00:10:16]  It's a second degree.
[00:10:17]  It's not first degree, Keith.
[00:10:19]  That's a crime of passion.
[00:10:21]  Okay.
