" Sucker punched on the metro today

For context, I work downtown and it’s about a 7-10min bus ride from my place to the nearest stop to my office. I know the metro isn’t ideal, but it beats $15 for parking everyday. This morning, the bus was full of normal enough people headed downtown for work plus one or two homeless (very normal for the route I take).

My roommate and I both work in the same area and rode the bus together this morning. About halfway along our brief commute one of the homeless dudes gets up and heads to the front of the bus towards where I’m seated, all the while talking to himself. I very incorrectly assumed he was getting off at the next stop. While conversing with my roommate and not paying that close of attention to my surroundings, it felt like someone threw a brick at me. Didn’t hurt all that bad or knock me out, but had blood spewing everywhere. Was just more confused than anything.

I look up and my roommate had stood up to intervene. The homeless dude paid no mind to my roommate and kept staring me down and shouting. I became even more confused, as I hadn’t so much as looked in this guys direction for the entire ride. Still not sure why he was so fixated on me and me alone. We got off at the next stop and I took an Uber home to collect myself. So much for saving a few bucks lol.

Funniest part of this in hindsight, when I looked up after getting hit at my assailant and the rest of the bus, nobody had any sort of reaction. It was like this was a daily occurrence for the other passengers. Maybe it was fear that caused them to stay put. Though, if I saw someone like myself getting mauled by some tweaker unprovoked I think I’d stand up and say something (for reference I’m not the smallest guy in the world either). Guess I’m glad I had someone already with me at least

There’s some crazy people out there man. Just encouraging y’all to stay safe. Also wondering if this kinda situation has ever happened to someone else? For reference I’ve been taking public transit in this city for a while (mostly the metro rail) and have never had to get physical with anyone.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading :)

EDIT: my roommate and I were working on a police report this afternoon"

Wonder if all the other bus riders got out their phones and recorded it. I guess deadly force could not have been used by the roommate?
I really would not have wanted to touch the homeless guy, even if it was to punch him. Too bad the roommate didn't do a Nobody on the guy.
This is from Nobody if you havent seen it.

Probation for most likely a murder. Hiding a body in a trunk of a car till cause of death can't be determined, then given probation for the corpse crime.

Yes this is the new Houston under a new DA with same old let them out judges.

BTW. Previous DA charged county appointees of the new young County Judge with financial crimes in the awarding an 11 million dollar heath care Covid contract to a company in business less than a month and no health care experience, who is a supporter of the judge. (Turning down the proposal from the Texas Medical Center) The new DA found that there was not enough evidence to proceed with the case, the County Commissioners Court has decided to pay each of the formerly charged appointees and the County Judge a total of $900,000 to pay their attorney fees. The County Judge was never charged.

Booking photo of suspect after lengthy chase by police including swimming and K9 “assisting” in his capture.

Sister in Iraq said he felt the government was after him.

https://www.click2houston.com/news/loca ... th-gunman/

Deputy Constable had a dash cam which captured almost everything. They met and had a conversation in his security company parking lot, shook hands. Cant hear what they talked about. He was looking in his rear view mirror and probably realized the man was following him. Maybe he did not see him get out of his car at the stop light. Emptied the entire gun into him. Very odd.

https://www.click2houston.com/news/loca ... constable/

Suspect also appears to be a conservative. Deputy Constable murdered was sitting in his personal SUV in plain clothes on way to work.

Wonder if there is much more to this story.

Note to self: don’t chase after suspicious men at night in your neighborhood without your gun or preferably a rifle.

Questionable shooting of a man in an apartment hallway of a relative who had been burglarized. Body cam video of shooting. Victim who must have had a gun shot once in the leg. Hard to tell but seems like officers fired a lot of times. Really long apartment hallway.

2 women murdered by assassin from behind a fence while they sat on their front porch talking in the Heights at 1:30 am. A third woman ran and was not injured. All were best friends. Estranged boy friend is suspected. Type of gun was not mentioned, dressed in black and camo with hoodie.

https://abc13.com/wimbledon-oaks-drive- ... /14750597/

In most likely an unrelated assassination, a man leaving for work at 3 am was murdered in his driveway in his car by a man with an AK 47 who fired 13 times. The dead man worked for 30 years for a large company located at the airport.

Odd coincidence?

In other Houston area news: a man has been cleared of a felony of injuring a police officer with his car and then failing to stop and render aid. Video from another private car at the scene shows the officer kicking a car as it past him while he was directing traffic, he then fell causing his injury. The driver will now be charged with a misdemeanor of failing to follow the directions of a police officer. Somebody got lucky.

Armed Guy was robbed at ATM at night. Robber ran away. Victim begins shooting at fleeing robber as is his right in Texas.

His bullets hit passing pick up truck, killing 9 year old little girl.

Grand jury does not indict. Family protests. DA who will be replaced at next election, puts special prosecutor on case and man is now indicted 2 years after the shooting.

Good for old DA. You own your bullets, don’t be stupid.

Bystander stopping a robbery from couple buying gas at a convenience store, shoots and kills the robber. Apparently the robbery was a fake robbery that was staged as a scheme to get a Visas to the US. Witnesses and victims are apparently given US Visas so they can appear as witnesses to a crime.

The guy apparently had been doing this scheme for some time, but this time, a bystander seeing the apparent crime, stepped up and killed him.
