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.

For what? I guess it could be false imprisonment?

This happened in my state with an ambulance and a person who could’ve been saved in the back if they made it to the hospital on time. Person standing in the road was charged with some lesser version of negligent manslaughter because the person in the ambulance died.

As they should. And throw on another charge for extra trauma for emts for having to watch someone they could have saved die in front of them.
