Charlotte, NC – Like many school systems across the US, Mecklenburg County Schools are dealing with budget cuts. I would get into what a fucking joke our school administration is here, but I’ll save that for another day. Anyway, one of the things they have done is to merge a bunch of bus stops into larger common areas. A change that should have been done a long, long time ago if you ask me. That means some kids wont be able to hop out of their front door and into their seat and one mother was not happy with her daughter having to walk a bit further to catch her school bus. So  33-year-old Shani Edmond wrote a very intelligent, thought-provoking letter to the school board explaining her issues. Yeah, right. She entered the school bus full of Reedy Creek Elementary kids and beat  the 57-year-old bus driver.

Another adult captured some video of the event, but it was after the actual fight. You can see another parent finally pulling Edmond out of the doorway where she had been preventing the bus driver from closing the doors. One witness described Shani Edmond taking off her shoes, jewelery and hair before going inside the bus and assaulting the driver. Another witness said that the kids in the bus began screaming and started jumping from the back of the bus.

“When we knew it was a real fight was when their glasses flew off the bus and everyone started screaming after that part,” rider Rayne Mouzon said. “The bus started rocking back and forth, back and forth,” one neighbor said. “This is crazy. You’re beating up on an older lady. You should have seen the scratches on her neck.”

I’m not sure exactly why Edmond was beating on this woman, especially since the driver has absolutely no control over school bus stops. Edmond was charged with assault and battery and trespassing. Both source links below have video reports. Check ‘em out.
