Wow, doesn’t really seem worth it:
A school bus driver who was beaten into a coma after a minor traffic accident along his route has died of his injuries, his employer said Saturday.
Juan DelValle, 65, was taken off life support and died Friday at the hospital where he had been treated since the June 11 attack, an Atlantic Express Transportation Group spokeswoman said….DelValle, an Atlantic Express employee for eight years, was driving down a Bronx street when his yellow bus clipped the side mirror on a double-parked car. Two middle school students were on the bus at the time; they weren’t hurt.
DelValle got out of the bus, and the car’s driver accosted and punched him, authorities said. With the middle-schoolers looking on, DelValle was knocked off his feet, and his head hit the pavement.
First up asshole, you illegally parked your car, and you beat another man to DEATH because you’re an asshole??? Also this is NYC, where guns are essentially banned, and knives are heavily restricted…its essentially a mini England. And a Bus drive was beaten to death…yep no weapons needed…well unless the Bus driver wanted to defend himself, I suspect a gun would have been good for him.
This is the paradise that Michael Bloomberg has created for his subjects!

Any school bus driver caught with a gun would get fired if not arrested. They are mobile Gun Free Zones everywhere I can think of.
@BornLib
Getting fired or arrested seems like a good choice when your other option is getting MURDERED.
If the traffic morons don’t get you, the miscreants that you shuttle will get their chance.
Not entirely banned.
In true progressive compassion if someone wants to defend themselves then they should be rich enough to hire private security or be connected enough to count as “important” and thus /need/ a carry permit. Failing that they should just move.
Oh you can’t afford any of those? Too bad.
Note how the libs will scream bloody murder about wealth allowing people to purchase more stuff, but when faced with a situation where political connections form a two tier de jur system of rights… well they consider it common sense.
Yet another sad story that underscores the fact that “fists” are “imminent lethal force”. One punch, dude is dead from brain damage.
