I'm somewhat reminded by this story of a situation I was privy to when I lived in California.

Long story short there was a homeless guy helping 3 kids and 2 young adults from Richman who had broken down at a gas station on their way home. The gas station was about 20 miles from Richman. The homeless guy finally got them some rides to the BART station (one of the rides was me, which is the long part of the).

When the 2 young adults and young kids went to go into their rides the homeless guy noticed that his cell phone was missing and accused one of the young adults of taking it. The bigger than the homeless guy young adult became upset at the accusation and charged the homeless guy. At that point the homeless guy pulled out a knife which caused the young adult to back down and get into the ride to the BART station.

The thing is the kids that were in my car called the big young adult and he admitted to them that he did in fact steal the poor homeless guys phone.

The point to all this is that when the homeless guy was charged it was quick. I was surprised at the speed at which he got a knife out. Things like this can happen fast. Also if this big guy backed down to a knife I can't imagine what the guy on the bus was like when he didn't back down to a knife. (the guy in my story was huge)

In the case on the bus in Houston it's hard to say, but seeing as it was a "no-bill" from a grand jury I have to give the guy the benefit of the doubt like others on here.
