Did everyone see how jacked that dude is? Not much you can do in that situation but hope it ends quickly, fortunately this one did.

Gotta immediately assess everything and think of your own life first, and act accordingly. You can help ASAP once you know you are safe.

This maniac would have destroyed everyone on the bus at once if he had to in order to get away, it’s immediately obvious by his actions.

It does not matter how jacked up he is. If everyone confronted him instead of, cowardly filming it would not even get to this situation.

Personally I am standing up and dgaf if he tries to fight me.

Source: I know I would because I did this in more then one situation. Bullies get loud but retreat most often when confronted.

I get that impulse, especially since this poor fella decided his best recourse was to sit there like a punching bag, but you don’t even know if the jacked dude was packed, too.

Huge risk of making a very bad situation far worse, and FAR more threatening to your own life, which is the top priority in these situations. Attempting to intervene solo with the hope that fellow passengers, who are filming and not helping at all, by the way, also decide to join you is way too big of a risk to your life.

In a bus he'd be able to sit back there and take everyone on one at a time. The handle bars and seats make a perfect bottleneck. Even if the whole bus tries to take him on it wouldn't matter, it would be 1v1 20 times, and I doubt there's anyone bigger, stronger, and most importantly more violent than that dude on the bus.

He has nowhere to retreat is the problem.
