Meanwhile Newsom is more concerned with banning grocery plastic bags🙄

Similar thing happened in Los Angeles back in 1994.. thankfully officer Keanu Reeves’s and Sandra bullock were able to rescue the day in dramatic fashion.

What’s the suspect description? Why aren’t you talking about that?

[daphnelu]

Soooo what's the suspect description

[jreezy]

Literally the worst place to catch a bus at that time

[HazelKitching]

So sorry for the family of the person who died.Looks Luke L.A is a dangerous place to live.

OMG ! I take the bus every day, what should I do now?

Literally why I stopped taking LA’s public transit especially the buses. They are so dangerous you never know who’s on the bus and crazy deranged people getting on are becoming common who will cause violence over the smallest things. They need to have armed security on the buses becuase it’s just wide open for people like this to do crime CA should be ashamed.

My once-great city's been turned into a stinking crap hole. Thanks L.A. City Council...Metro...Mayor Bass...DA Gascon.

I would not be surprised if the hijacker goes free knowing the “law” in LA.

[kevincampbell]

Well, at least he didn't have a reusable plastic bag. God forbid.

[BrwnShinobi]

Another reason to allow CCW, evil will always find its way

[pandabearoceanpark]

Meanwhile, our politicians are working on banning Tik Tok!

[isaiahchatman]

Very interesting they wont release suspect details. 🤔

[lilvic]

Extremely scary ... Its just getting closer to where if our law enforcement wont help one has to be armed and hope that they make it to their destination 😖... crazies and criminals are running l.a.

[bluebonbon]

It is getting more and more difficult to use public transportation in Los Angeles. I have a friend who has to use buses, often late at night, and soon there will be NO nighttime service.
