Artis Hughes, the Cleveland bus driver who infamously and viciously uppercutted 25-year-old Shi'dea Lane, a female passenger, has been fired by the bus company he worked for. The Regional Transit Authority in Cleveland announced that Hughes was terminated from employment for not following proper procedure and ultimately assaulting the woman back in September.
The Regional Transit Authority explained the reasoning behind their decision in an announcement.
"Mr. Hughes claims that his actions were in self-defense. The evidence does not support that claim. We expect our employees to diffuse any potential situation. We do not believe that Mr. Hughes took the proper steps to diffuse this situation. The proper procedure would have been to pull over and stop the bus, then call Transit Police for assistance."
Despite finding the bus driver at fault for the situation, the Regional Transit Authority did state that female passenger is also to blame in the matter.
"The customer was out of line and charges have been filed against her."

"Proper protocol was to pull the bus over"??? I guess he was able to do that while this bitch punched him in his face, then tried to choke him, and after all of that, she spit on him. Yeah, but he was suppose to follow procedure!!! I tell you what, if that same shit was to happen to me, then I will definitely lose my job, and I don't condone hitting women, but these chicks today play on that,"don't hit women" bullshit!!! If a female spit on me, I have to apologize in advance to every female in the world, but I'm going to knock her the fuck out!!! She's better off punching me in my face, and then walking away!!! How can a grown adult, especially women, put their hands on another adult, and not expect that person to respond??? That is some real punk shit on the women's part!!!
