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.

If I were a pedestrian as well at that moment I'd probably force them off the street.

I wouldn't touch them, but I'd snatch that headset and toss it onto the sidewalk

That's actually genius. You know damn well they'd run after it.
