Shi’dea Lane
, 25, says that bus driver, Artis Hughes,
59, instigated the incident that led to the uppercut watched around the world and she still can’t believe that he hit
her.
Lane says that when she got off work on
September 18, she boarded a Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) bus being driven by Hughes. He
allegedly thought she didn’t have the bus fare, while she claims that she just
needed to find it. From there, words were exchanged and by all appearances,
Lane struck Hughes while he was driving the bus.
This lead the older man to stop the bus, tell
the belligerent passenger, “You’re going to jail now,” before delivering the
vicious blow to Lane’s face, knocking her to the ground. She stood to fight and
Hughes grabbed her neck before they were separated by passengers. They
exclaimed, “She’s a female!” To which Hughes responded, “I don’t care; she want
to be a man, I’m gone treat you like a man!”
Lane said the punch “hurt-ed” like something
from the martial arts game “Mortal Combat.”
“It was like a ‘Finish Him!’” she exclaimed
before again voicing disbelief that Hughes actually struck a woman.
It’s amazing to see how a man would actually
hit a woman that hard; I mean are you serious?” she said. “I mean, you could
have pulled me off the bus, you can’t really touch nobody but, for real, like
you really punched me?”
RTA says that Hughes has been with the company
for 22 years, and they released the following statement:
Upon identifying the driver, he was immediately
suspended and moved from duty. His behavior is absolutely unacceptable. RTA
apologizes to our customers for this incident.
In a written statement to police,
Hughes claimed that Lane “grabbed me in the throat and spit on me in the face,”
so he “protected [himself].”
When the Fox News reporter nudged Lane to
discuss the obvious, that she attacked the older man first, she stumbled before
refusing to answer that question without her lawyer present.
Prov 21:9- [It is] better to dwell in a corner
of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
Ecc 7:26- And I find more bitter than death the
woman, whose heart [is] snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] bands: whoso
pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her
Ecclesiasticus
25:19- All wickedness is but little
to the wickedness of a
woman let the portionof a
sinner fall upon her
Ecclesiasticus 25:17- The wickedness of a woman changeth her face and darkeneth her countenance
like sackcloth
Ecclesiasticus 25:13- [Give me] any
plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of
a woman:
Ecclesiasticus 25:16- I had rather
dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to keep house with a wicked woman.
