Dan Rafael discusses the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s approving a promoter’s license for 50 Cent.
Jalonta Freeman of Arlington, Texas was approached by a stranger at a gas station, selling what he claimed to be a brand new $800 iPad, for just $200. Freeman and her family did not want to miss out on an offer they thought seemed great, so they gave him cash for the tablet, and the man quickly drove away. When the package was finally opened, the Freeman family discovered the elaborately wrapped “iPad” was actually just a mirror about the size of a tablet. Freeman said she felt stupid, but learned a valuable lesson, and offered this advice, “Don’t buy nothing on the streets from nobody.”
Did she really think she was going to get an iPad for $200? Imagine opening this up on Christmas day.

Yes, the female was out of control and wrong for hitting the bus driver. But the bus driver’s reaction was excessive, he must keep his cool and realize he is dealing with a woman. He should of just ignored the woman and not let the altercation escalate. That sort of blow could have killed her. I’m pretty sure he could have knocked out Mayweather with that punch, I’m shocked she was able to get up after that.
What sort of punishment if any do you think the bus driver deserves?
