An MBTA bus driver was pummeled by up to 15 attackers while on his route in Dorchester early yesterday, MBTA cops said.

The victim, identified as a 53-year-old man, was driving the Route 16 bus on Columbia Road at Geneva Avenue about 1:15 a.m. when a group of 10 to 15 youths boarded and began punching him, said MBTA police Superintendent in Chief Joseph O’Connor.

Cops are investigating but so far are baffled as to the motive.

Thank God that he wasn’t armed with a pistol and just a 10-round magazine. He wouldn’t have ever had time to change magazines to shoot the other five guys.

Oh well.

Probably the driver’s fault for having the audacity to drive into the wrong part of town with the wrong skin color . . . < / sarcasm >

If it had been a white youth gang, they would certainly have made that abundantly clear.
So the absence of information here is itself information...

If Sharpton and Jackson arrive on the scene we will know the bus driver was black and the perps were anything but minorities. In essence, if a black bus driver was beaten by whitey - Sharpton and Jackson WILL get involved. However, if the driver happens to be Caucasian, and the perps are black, Sharpton and Jackson will remain true to form and stay quiet as a mouse.

“..baffled as to the motive...’

punks don’t need a motive - they will beat up and/or kill on a whim. Wild dogs are more selective than these sub-humans.

As long as no “hate” was involved it’s not as bad. Of course except for the driver. I’ll bet he “hates” that route.

Right. Sure. I'll bet they are.

Likely they are just trying to cover up the logical identifying racial characteristics of the "youths". That is why there are no descriptions. Can't have people drawing the "wrong" conclusions, you know...

...which reminds me. Where did I hide that 30 round "unneccesary" magazine? I know it was around here someplace...
