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?

Impeding emergency vehicles is considered a serious crime almost anywhere in the world and rightfully so

NYC has decriminalized literally everything. Even sexual assaults and serious injuries you inflict on somebody will not have you spending any time in jail. So regular antisocial behavior like this is not even on the radar.

So by that logic… you could simply throw the bitch out of the way and be all good then.
