Videos What happens in a situation like this?

Entitled prick blocks a bus because she supposedly wasn't let on. A fire truck is behind - full lights blaring but refuses to move. No space for the truck to pass due to the congestion.

Would anything at all be able to be done? It's times like this that really piss and stress out firefighters, and I'm sorry people like this exist. Hopefully a big charge came her way, but nothing new as of yet as this happened yesterday I believe.

You could literally assault every single person on the bus. Slash the buses tires and block traffic for 8 hours and NYC DAs will decline to prosecute her and probably apologize to her for the inconvenience of being arrested.

Same. I find someone doing that they're getting knocked out

Exactly. Crap like this never would have happened for more than 10 seconds back in the ‘80s. She’d have been slammed on her face by literally anyone who observed it, whether that person was directly impacted or not. And because of this clarity of consequences, it never happened.
