Bus drivers are some of the best people in society. They help others, reduce carbon footprint, and have a stressful job. May he rest in peace.

What a senseless killing.

My dad drove Madison Metro for 13 years and it changed him a bit...RIP

A very sad outcome that is derived from ignorance and selfish behaviour.

Dude was just doing his job and they beat him to death. May they fucking rot.

Conservatism is inappropriate in a modern civilization. If conservatives aren't gleefully endangering everyone around them during a deadly pandemic, they are mocking, assaulting or murdering those who object.

There is no such thing as a "good conservative". Conservatism is a plague and should be outlawed entirely.

What are they conserving? Quit calling them that. They haven't conserved anything. How about simply calling them "criminals" - which they are. The criminal party. How about that? Their new logo can be a cartoon burglar, you know, the one with the mask over the eyes and unshaven? Yeah - like this guy. ish.

There's an appropriate spirit animal. Don't vote republican... because they're not conserving anything and they're robbing the country blind.

Conservatives before the pandemic:

Socialized medicine is bad, you get what you pay for!

Conservatives after the pandemic:

You can't trust the pharmaceutical industry, they just want to make profits!

The main reason to not outlaw it is that conservatives are currently in charge of the laws, and will redefine "conservative" to mean "not fascist".

Seems a bit harsh for "please put on your mask".

Murder seems a bit harsh for pretty much anything

I don't know, I don't think "eye for an eye" is completely out of place here.

I doubt that the masks had anything to do with it. If someone reacts so violently to being asked to adjust their mask, they will react violently to practically anything.
