=== Dangerous Bus Rides in Charlotte (07:42) ===

[00:00:05]  This is Charlotte, North Carolina, where that girl Irena, that refugee from Ukraine.
[00:00:10]  Yeah, it's a lot of diversity out there.
[00:00:11]  Yeah, where her life was taken on public transportation.
[00:00:14]  This is another incident in Charlotte.
[00:00:16]  It's very dangerous to drive for public transportation in Charlotte.
[00:00:19]  That girl did not have no idea what she was walking into.
[00:00:22]  I know.
[00:00:31]  He said, get behind the line.
[00:00:43]  See that?
[00:00:44]  Yep, he's got a pistol.
[00:00:45]  He's got a weapon.
[00:00:46]  He feels disrespected.
[00:00:52]  Of course, he's got a weapon because he knows.
[00:00:55]  Yeah.
[00:00:56]  He's on that bus every day.
[00:00:57]  He knows how dangerous it is to have that job in Charlotte, North Carolina.
[00:01:01]  Yep, he's exercising his Second Amendment right.
[00:01:06]  I think he got fired, though.
[00:01:08]  Really?
[00:01:09]  Yeah.
[00:01:15]  You have a duty to retreat at this point.
[00:01:27]  I think that's why he probably got fired.
[00:01:29]  They pursued him.
[00:01:33]  He's still shooting.
[00:01:36]  Well, Kevin's adrenaline is pumping.
[00:01:38]  Yeah, but you got to walk away at some point.
[00:01:40]  Here's another angle, right?
[00:01:43]  That guy looked like he was like under the age of 18.
[00:01:45]  He's probably a young kid.
[00:01:46]  But anyway, they got cameras all over public transportation because it's filled with crime.
[00:01:54]  Yeah, it's rampant with crime.
[00:01:56]  Right.
[00:01:57]  And this guy, this poor guy just trying to go to work or go home one.
[00:02:01]  Yeah, he looks like he's going home.
[00:02:03]  Look at that.
[00:02:04]  See that?
[00:02:04]  That is crazy.
[00:02:06]  Look like he's smiling.
[00:02:08]  He's trying to intimidate him.
[00:02:10]  Well, that, or he's going to smile in his face when he...
[00:02:14]  Yeah, look at that live to him.
[00:02:15]  Yeah.
[00:02:21]  They actually have to censor this because this guy's his pants came right off of him.
[00:02:25]  Well, his pants came down too.
[00:02:27]  Well, a lot of black people like that sag their pants or shorts or whatever they're wearing.
[00:02:31]  It's a fashion statement in black men.
[00:02:33]  I don't know.
[00:02:33]  To show your underwear.
[00:02:35]  Yeah.
[00:02:36]  Never did understand that.
[00:02:44]  Oh, he's been hit.
[00:02:50]  Yeah, I can see why they fired him.
[00:02:52]  You think so?
[00:02:53]  Yeah, the doors just closed.
[00:02:54]  He didn't open the doors and he shot him while he was within the.
[00:02:57]  Yeah, yeah, they got cameras all over.
[00:02:58]  But here's they got more information on what Francis spoke exclusively with another passenger on that bus who came inches from being shot himself.
[00:03:08]  Morgan, what a terrifying ordeal.
[00:03:09]  Oh, Brian, it really was.
[00:03:11]  And Joshua Davis got a ride home in an Uber tonight because he's afraid to ride the bus after gunshots rang out around him.
[00:03:18]  He has a wife and two kids.
[00:03:20]  And as you'll see in this video, if not feet inches from getting shot.
[00:03:25]  I was right there.
[00:03:26]  Like, you have no idea.
[00:03:28]  Last Thursday, Joshua Davis was just trying to get to.
[00:03:31]  You're at that play with his beard.
[00:03:32]  I'd be doing that.
[00:03:36]  When this happened on the cat's bus, he was riding.
[00:03:42]  Davis hasn't seen the video.
[00:03:44]  He said he doesn't have to.
[00:03:45]  He was there and knows how close he came to potentially losing his life.
[00:03:50]  See, they didn't even censor it.
[00:03:52]  My instincts weren't.
[00:03:55]  See that butt to potentially losing his life.
[00:04:01]  My instincts when I seen when I seen guns and I heard gunshots was to hit the floor.
[00:04:06]  We now know the passenger, 22-year-old Amari Tobias, wanted to get off the bus before the next stop.
[00:04:11]  The bus driver, David Fullard, declined that request.
[00:04:15]  I had a bad feeling, you know.
[00:04:18]  Maybe he should have stopped the bus, get that nut off.
[00:04:21]  He didn't sit down to follow strict rules and regulations.
[00:04:24]  Yeah, looks like he would just pull it over and let him get on.
[00:04:27]  I don't think he's allowed to.
[00:04:28]  Yeah, I don't know.
[00:04:29]  Maybe they like his tone.
[00:04:31]  I ain't stopping nothing.
[00:04:32]  You're gonna stop.
[00:04:33]  I'm saying from the time that the young man got on the bus.
[00:04:37]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:04:38]  It's an eerie feeling.
[00:04:39]  I can't really explain it.
[00:04:40]  Tobias got agitated and told the bus driver to touch him so he could claim self-defense.
[00:04:45]  In the video, he's seen pulling told the bus driver to touch him so he could claim self-defense.
[00:04:51]  In the video, he's seen pulling out a gun, and that's when the two start shooting at each other.
[00:04:56]  Davis hit the deck.
[00:04:57]  There was a young lady on the bus, and she was saying, Open the door.
[00:05:00]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:05:01]  So I was trying to park the door open.
[00:05:03]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:05:03]  But of course, you can't do that.
[00:05:06]  Button has to be pushed.
[00:05:08]  The driver continued shooting at the suspect with two other passengers ducking for cover.
[00:05:13]  Wow, the passenger was right there.
[00:05:15]  Yeah, I see why they fired him.
[00:05:19]  The passenger was right there.
[00:05:20]  That bus driver was straight hood.
[00:05:23]  It bothers me more and more every day.
[00:05:25]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:05:26]  Because I thank God that I'm here.
[00:05:28]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:05:29]  That I didn't get shot.
[00:05:30]  Tobias, who was shot, is in jail.
[00:05:32]  And that driver, also shot, was fired from his job for bringing a gun to work.
[00:05:36]  Bus drivers.
[00:05:42]  These gun machine.
[00:05:44]  The reason why they fought him is weird.
[00:05:47]  They fired him for bringing a gun to work, but they didn't fire him for shooting at him.
[00:05:52]  Had to do what it's a passenger right before.
[00:05:55]  Yeah.
[00:05:57]  Looks like they would have fired him because he didn't retreat and he endangered passengers.
[00:06:01]  Well, you can't.
[00:06:02]  That would be a much more logical reason why you should fire him.
[00:06:04]  Well, you can't bring a gun to work.
[00:06:08]  I'm driving a bus in Charlotte, North Carolina.
[00:06:10]  I'm not going to bring a gun to work.
[00:06:15]  We're not supposed to carry firearms.
[00:06:17]  So what are we doing for them to be protected?
[00:06:20]  Because bus drivers have already been harmed in the case.
[00:06:22]  Davis says every day is different processing what happened.
[00:06:26]  Because I'm not the type of person that really displays a whole lot of emotion.
[00:06:30]  I don't really know how to deal with what I'm feeling.
[00:06:33]  Riding a bus has been out of the question.
[00:06:35]  Even going to work has been triggering for him.
[00:06:38]  But at home, he reflects on how yeah, you got he got PTSD.
[00:06:43]  This crime in um black communities it hurts innocent black people.
[00:06:49]  He's he's numb to it.
[00:06:51]  Lucky he is to be alive.
[00:06:53]  I could have been hurt.
[00:06:55]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:06:57]  But I thank God that I wasn't done.
[00:07:00]  Davis says he hasn't told his 11 and 14 year old kids about what happened and he doesn't think he will.
[00:07:06]  He has tried reaching out to the bus driver to check on him and thank him, but he hasn't been able to reach him.
[00:07:12]  Something that's not in the video is that Davis says the suspect came back on the bus to retrieve something and Davis looked him in the eye and pleaded for him to leave without any more violence.
[00:07:21]  Brian, just yeah, I saw a cell phone.
[00:07:25]  That's why he's coming back.
[00:07:26]  Yeah, I saw a cell phone hit the ground.
[00:07:30]  So the bus driver hasn't been arrested.
[00:07:33]  He got fired, though.
[00:07:34]  That is self-defense.
[00:07:36]  Yeah, that's that story is nuts.
[00:07:38]  Yeah.
[00:07:39]  Yeah.
[00:07:42]  So I guess they should put bulletproof glass around the driver.
[00:07:46]  Yeah, I know.

=== Bulletproof Glass for Drivers (00:44) ===

[00:07:47]  They should.
[00:07:48]  Especially if you're telling, giving him a directive, you can't bring any weapons to work to defend yourself.
[00:07:53]  should be surrounded by bulletproof gas.
[00:07:56]  Yeah, bulletproof glass.
[00:07:57]  They're not going to do it.
[00:07:58]  You know why?
[00:07:58]  Costs too much money.
[00:08:00]  Same why they won't fortify the schools.
[00:08:03]  Yeah.
[00:08:03]  It's too much money.
[00:08:05]  Yeah.
[00:08:05]  That's why they won't do it.
[00:08:08]  Yeah, we have the technology to prevent these people from ever being in danger, but it's a money issue for some odd reason.
[00:08:15]  We are the most powerful nation in the world and we can't come up with that money.
[00:08:19]  But we can bomb all these countries and it don't make any sense.
[00:08:26]  Send billions of dollars to these other countries, but we can't fortify our own schools or protect our citizens.
