Danger on public transportation and also danger driving with road rage incidents. Danger riding a bike, walking or sitting waiting for the bus. Welcome to Miami

@bmilnerodette19

The county is hiring bus drivers starting salary 40 grand.😂😂😂 Imagine 40 grand to deal with the foolishness that goes on the buses.

@KENNA5081

I live in Miami you have to be careful not to respond or get into an argument with a crazy person here, there's alot people here mentally unstable walking around homeless on the streets on drugs 😮 it's very dangerous sometimes.

Sound like self defense

Unfortunately having a gun increases the chances that some people will stand their ground in situations when they might otherwise just walk away …😳Especially on a public bus where other people can be endangered you really have to go out of your way not to be pulling that heat in your pocket.

@starseed99

These men today bring guns to a fist fight. WEAK!

@slapshot68

Unlike NYC, wen arrested, they will keep him in jail rather than just release him for the 1000th time

3rd world 🌎 Miami 💀

@huyoken7953

If the guy was being attacked he had the right to stand his ground, no one was hurt in the shooting. It’s not a crime to own a gun or shoot it in self defense.

@richardjohnson6628

And AMERICA saying that the Caribbean is dangerous? What?

@Richappen

Castle Law? Stand your ground? I’m pissed? Florida is a shoot first state and everyone is carrying!
