Woman Beaten & Dragged From D.C. Metrobus After Asking Teens to Stop Cursing [Video]

A disturbing video has surfaced online showing a woman being brutally beaten and dragged off a D.C. bus.

The footage was taken this week, showing the woman, now identified as Kyla Thurston, on the floor of the bus being kicked, punched, and even choked by a group of teenagers and at least one adult. They dragged the woman off the Metrobus when it came to a stop as other passengers watched in horror. The unidentified witness who recorded the incident says the victim had given up her seat to allow her family to sit. When Thurston asked a group of rowdy teenagers to stop cursing, they began brutally beating her.

While the woman was being assaulted, she did not attempt to fight back. Witnesses heard her praying instead and begging the driver to stop the bus moments before it stopped moving.

Speaking exclusively with Fox 5, Thurston said praying was her only defense mechanism during the attack. The shaken-up woman sustained bruises, and her clothing was ripped during the altercation. However, she is just thankful to be alive and wonders why the driver did not call for help. Thurston also said she is not upset that other bus riders didn’t step in because she understood they likely feared for their safety. Going forward, Thurston hopes the Metro will implement new ways to protect its passengers.

Metro issued a statement, calling the incident “disturbing” and “unacceptable.” The Metro Transit Police Department has launched an investigation and is working to identify the assailants.

Shame on those kids. Looks like high school students to me.

Thurston said praying was her only defense mechanism during the attack.

It gets down to that when the people do not exercise the right to bear arms.

Agree.

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 2 Timothy 3:1-7 ESV

Bob, the election of 2020 proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the voters will not tolerate an honest person Governing them. We had in the White House, an honest man, Donald Trump as President. In the election of 2020, the voters with one accord said, via their votes, We will not tolerate this man[ Donald Trump] Governing us. We want to be Ruled by Joe Biden.
Donald Trump is an honest man. Joe Biden is the biggest liar and crook in the history of man kind. The United States of America has became a Wicked and Perverse Nation. And they demand like minded individuals to Rule them. In picking Joe Biden, they could not have picked a more wicked and perverse man. And he, in turn picked wicked and perverse individuals to do his bidding. And others became his disciples, eager to do his bidding. That is where we are today and tomorrow it will be worse. Because evil begets evil. Not good.

“Teens”

Yet another case of seeing the age of the feral beasts but not what they look like.

[Organic Panic]

This is why I don’t care what the death count of “teens” is on a weekend in Philly. This is the culture they love and create. Just wall them off and leave them be.

I think that applies to people who understand what they’re doing and who have some intelligence, and are in positions of power, not a bunch of Hyenas. They have no concept of right or wrong.

The bystanders didn’t need to help.
The kids seemed to have miss manners pretty well whipped.

“It gets down to that when the people do not exercise the right to bear arms.”

That’s true, but you have to be quick. Be aware of what’s going on around you and have your finger on the trigger when danger gets close.

Crap like this has been going on in DC’s mass transportation for a long time. The people in charge don’t do anything about it because they think the complaints are racist. This time it was a black woman.

[ronnie raygun]

she did not attempt to fight back. Witnesses heard her praying instead

Here lies the problem

Just a few examples of fight back will get them to think twice

They know not to try to help. The Police will be on them like a ton of bricks. Now the Police and criminals work hand in hand. Anyone helping the lady would have been facing charges themselves while the criminals walked.

You are assuming the 2020 election was legit, which it was not.
