So I'm sure you guys heard of that horrible occurrence that happened in New York a few weeks ago about the 68 year old bus monitor that was harassed by a group of middle-schoolers. I heard that they set up a donation fund for her retirement that is apparently now up to $650,000 (possibly more by now). There are some complaints that she shouldn't keep all of the money. What do you guys think?

Personally, I think she should accept it. I saw the video online and I couldn't even watch the entire thing. What those kids did was awful. She deserves it in my opinion...

But I want to know what everyone else thinks!

She should keep all of the money. People donated it to her not someone else or some other organization. It is her business with what she does with her money and nobody else should have a say.

If she wants to donate it to some organization, fine, go ahead but that is her choice and her choice alone.

that's not the debate place, is it?

I personally think that she SHOULD keep the money.

There was never any debate on whether or not she should keep the money. ANd no debate will start because no one will disagree.

She totally deserves it. none of us here would have the will power to do that. I honestly would have killed them, in an act of self-defense.

You can't kill a child if they are verbally abusing them..seriously. That's..I believe, assault.

Why SHOULDN'T she keep it? They donated it to her, she gets it.

It's actually Manslaughter, not assault, but Citiboi5 looks like a simple 13 year old so I'm trying my hardest not to rage over him.

Yea, that's manslaughter probably of the second or third degree. You can't kill someone because they were being obnoxious.
