Gang Opened Fire On A Crowded Bus After Man Complained About A Mother Spanking Her Child!

The whole terrifying incident was captured on camera and played in court on August 4!

It all started after passenger Lefenus Pickett criticized mom Penny Chapman for spanking her son. She allegedly retaliated by making a phone call to three male relatives who appeared armed with guns at the next stop and sprayed 13 bullets into the packed bus!

The passengers on the bus included an 80-year-old woman and a mother with her 4-year-old son, but amazingly no one was injured – thanks to quick-thinking driver Desmond Jones, an Army veteran, who sped the bus away, taking it straight to an area hospital.

The entire ordeal, which took place in June, was captured by multiple security cameras placed around the bus. The videos were played in court as Lefenus gave his testimony.

The alleged gunmen, Karon and Raheem Patterson, 19 and 21, and Angel Lecourt, 18, the paternal uncle of Penny’s son, were all in court on Thursday where they were ordered to be held for trial. Also, held without bail was Penny Chapman.

Assistant District Attorney Morgan Model Vedejs who is prosecuting the case told Philly.com, “It’s pretty amazing that no one was killed.”

We agree. What a terrifying ordeal!

Kate and co you are too loud for a descent white women what race are you?

Hope they get locked up!

Casey Anthony and OJ were proved innocent on their trial blame America not them lol

This is absolutely disgusting on so many levels. I have no idea what the world is coming to, or why this kind of reaction was deemed appropriate in the eyes of Penny or her horrible family? Black people around the world are given a bad rap for disgusting individuals like this and that is not fair. Just like every other race or culture in the world has their share of bad seeds, DONT hold the whole group responsible for a few select individuals’ actions.

Are all white people considered “animals” and perceived as bad people because Casey Anthony killed her daughter and got off scot free? Are all Muslims horrible and considered terrorists because Osama Bin Laden bombed America, and killed many innocent people? No, none of these groups are bad, but in fact it is the select few within these cultures that portray the whole group as being that same way, and that isnt fair either.

Shake your heads at this horrible behaviour but leave the judging to God. Karma will get them, and every other evil person on the face of this earth – REGARDLESS, of the colour of their skin. Judge individuals by the content of their character NOT the colour of their skin – Martin Luther King Jr. said it best.

Say this people in this article are bad, because they are – but dont place the blame on the fact that they are black, that has nothing to do with it. That is irrelevant.

I think instead of only seeing the bad in this article we should also acknowledge the good: the bus driver, and how his quick thinking saved the lives of many innocent people. This situation was terrible to begin with, but at least the bus driver had a hand in making it one they could all relatively “safely” walk away from.

Say THESE people***** not this.

i am so sick of animals. i am not surprised this happened at all!!!!!!

Please tell me CPS has taken the child out of this “FAMILY OF PURE ANIMALS.” I bet the grandma is JUST SO PROUD OF HER INNOCENT BABBIES as well. Seriously…they should all be shanked behind bars and LIST THEIR DEATHS UNDER “DID SOCIETY A FAVOR!”
