Crossbow time again

I'm not quite sure who needs it though - the bus driver or the goths. I thhink, possibly the plan should be to shoot the driver for being a prat, shoot the girl for...er... being a dog and congratulate her 'owner' for finding a girl who's happy to let him treat her like...er... a dog. Or possibly just shoot him too.

Goth who walks fiancée on a leash is banned by bus driver who told him: 'No dogs allowed'

Given that she describes herself as a human pet and is happy to walk around on a lead Tasha Maltby is used to odd looks and even odder remarks.

But nothing had prepared her for the reaction of the bus driver who allegedly told the self-styled Goth and her boyfriend: "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on."

Miss Maltby and her fiance Dani Graves were so angered they have complained to the bus company of being "victimised".

"It is definitely discrimination, almost like a hate crime," 19-year-old Miss Maltby said yesterday.

The music technology student had this defence of her lifestyle.

"I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy life," she said.

"I don't cook or clean and I don't go anywhere without Dani. It might seem strange but it makes us both happy. It's my culture and my choice. It isn't hurting anyone."

The bus driver, however, has obviously not been listening.

He has repeatedly refused to allow Mr Graves, 25, and his "pet" on to his bus in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Last month, with Miss Maltby on a leash as usual, the couple tried to board a bus at the bus station.

The driver, who was off duty, was standing near the door.

Mr Graves alleged: "He shoved me off the bus. He called us freaks and he called Tasha a dog.

"He said, 'We don't let freaks and dogs like you on'.

"He basically grabbed my T-shirt and slammed me backwards.

"I got a bit angry and called him a fascist pig."

In a separate incident, police were called when the driver, who has not been named, refused to allow other passengers on board after the couple ignored his orders and sat down.

The couple, who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family, have been friends for years.

They started going out together in July and became engaged in November.

Paul Adcock, of bus company Arriva Yorkshire, said: "We take any allegations of discrimination seriously.

"Mr Graves has already contacted us directly and as soon as our investigation has concluded we will inform him of the outcome."

I like his jacket though.


The bus driver was an ass. If they both paid their fare he shouldn't have thrown them off as they weren't doing anything to anyone else.

I don't know how I feel about being led around on a lead like that...although I probably wouldn't be so opposed if it were the other way around. Don't know why though. Just a quirk of mine lol

Our buses take dogs.

What annoys me is:

"I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy life," she said.
"I don't cook or clean and I don't go anywhere without Dani. It might seem strange but it makes us both happy. It's my culture and my choice. It isn't hurting anyone."

in conjuction with:

The couple, who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family, have been friends for years.

AHEM! Yes, it is hurting people! Namely taxpayers! It riles me quite enough that I go out to work while Shadow sits aound doing nothing all day, without my taxes going on people doing the same & thinking it's ok!

I wondered how long it would be before someone picked up on that bit. I have to say that I thought it would be Stead, though!

It's odd how almost all of these sort of stories involve people on benefits. You never read about people who hold down a £20k or £30k job acting like a dog and calling bus drivers facist pics.

It also amused me that in response to his girlfriend being called a 'dog', Grave's immediate responmse was to call the offender a 'pig'. What do they have against animals, anyway?

And this

"I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy life,"

Worries me. I have images of her being let out into the garden to.. er... you know...

In Texas, what the bus driver did is called assault...

What the boy is doing is called unlawful restraint...

What the girl is doing is called stupidity...

confused...Ben

Best factor in the bullsh*t as well. I'm sure it wasn't nearly as dramatic as the story makes out. biggrin.gif

I had that dream once. It was quite disturbing and when I woke up I found I'd eaten the pillow.

No, wait. That was a different dream...

Rather than start a whole new crossbow thread, I'll just post this one here:

Driver Straps In Beer, Not Toddler
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A St. Augustine woman pulled over when a deputy saw her run a red light had a case of beer belted in her front seat, but a young child unrestrained in the back, according to the arrest report.

The deputy who pulled over Tina Williams Sunday reported smelling a strong odor of alcohol coming from the car. When he asked Williams for a driver's license, she replied, "I never had one," Jacksonville television station WJXT reported.

According to the police report, a 24-pack of beer in the front passenger seat of her car was restrained by a seat belt but a 16-month-old girl was not in a child seat or safety belt. A 19-year-old woman was also in the back seat.

Police said Williams had bloodshot and watery eyes and staggered when she got out of the vehicle. Asked if she'd been drinking, she told the deputy, "I had a few."
Williams failed a field sobriety test but refused to take a Breathalyzer.

After Williams was taken into custody, two metal pipes were found in her purse.

Williams was charged with DUI, child endangerment, driving without a license, running a red light and failure to use a child restraint. The suspected drug paraphernalia was placed into evidence.

I see no problem with this, the beer was worth more and will probably contribute more to society...

Hollow point is the future - I'm wondering whether my crossbow bolts would benefit from that?
