Bronx school bus driver beaten into coma dies

The school bus driver beaten into a coma by another motorist earlier this month has died, NBC 4 New York has learned.

Juan DelValle's devastated family, who had stood watch by his bedside since the assault, made the decision to take him off life support Friday evening, a hospital spokesperson told NBC 4 New York.


He died at 6:19 p.m., his sister said.

DelValle was severely injured June 11 when he was knocked to the pavement following a minor traffic accident in the Bronx, according to authorities.

The 65-year-old brother, father and grandfather was attempting to navigate a school bus through a narrow and crowded Anthony Avenue and clipped a mirror on a double-parked car, authorities said.

When DelValle exited the bus to survey the damage, the driver of the car allegedly began yelling at him. Surveillance video captured the car driver then punching DelValle so forcefully he was sent flying backward before his head slammed on the road.

The other driver fled the scene. He was later arrested.

See original story, video on NBCNewYork.com

DelValle never regained consciousness. His family says a funeral will be held in about two weeks after the medical examiner completes an autopsy.

DelValle had been driving a school bus for 10 years and was preparing to retire at the end of this school year, according to his sister. He'd already submitted his papers.

Atlantic Express, the bus company DelValle worked for, said it was deeply saddened by his death, calling him a gentle man who did his job professionally, with great dedication and compassion.

"The career of a school bus driver is a demanding one with great responsibility, but it should never be one where hard-working, honorable people are subjected to vicious and senseless violence," the company said in a statement.

"We must all stand together to ensure that violence against school bus drivers will not be tolerated and demand the maximum sentence against the perpetrator of this heartless crime which was witnessed by special education students."

The prep should be locked up for the rest of his life. The perp parked his car illegally. It was just a mirror and the insurance from the school bus would had pay for it. Then the coward just ran away after attacking the old man.

Agreed Robbie. The damage that poor man did was minimal, he got out to check instead of just driving away and was doing the right thing, while the guy that killed him was a coward and ran. This utter moron who murdered him should spend the rest of his life in prison, killing someone over a stupid mirror? People need to take a step back and realize material things aren't as important as life. My thoughts and prayers go towards the victim and his family. What a sad ending.

This country is in an angry mood.

The kooks are out to kill, for little reason, people with their guns committing huge amounts of galore killings, the violence of multiple massacres increasing. Did you know that gun sales are way up in the United States?

What has happened to Civility, even if it is a small accident, road rage takes over. People have "jumped" over the Law. No respect for Authority. It seems like the Old Wild West--anything goes, there is no self-containment.

My condolences to the Bus Driver and his family, who had to endure a "road murder", that is happening way too often.

Our Country is like a Free Spirit--do whatever one wants, as long as it feels good. Sadistic.

Enraged by Mr DelValle's unsuccessful pass of his illegally parked Chrysler Sebring, accused owner Joey Scott, 30, confronted him behind the bus according to Carolyn Daly, a spokeswoman for the school bus company speaking to the New York Post.

'"Are you going to leave after hitting my car?"' he allegedly asked Mr Delvalle according to a witness speaking to the Post.

That witness said the bus driver wanted to call police but the car's owner punched him first instead.

The attack caught on CC-TV shows the two standing behind the school bus right before Mr DelValle is sharply knocked to the ground.

Scott, who had a previously long rap sheet, is being held on a $250,000 cash bond with a court date set for Monday, reports the Post.

Night Hawk -- a couple of small additions to your info:

New York Daily News: "Scott is being held on Rikers Island on $250,000 bond and faces assault and harassment charges, records show. He has more than 20 prior arrests, many for drugs and assault, stretching back to 2000."

New York Post: "The Medical Examiner’s Office yesterday ruled the death a homicide, cops said. Scott is likely to end up charged with homicide during a court appearance tomorrow."

I couldn't find any pictures of him online, but no doubt we'll see some tomorrow when he goes to court.

I guess it IS about RACE???

Maybe so, but our crappy court system won't allow his past record to be presented in this new case. The good thing is that the moron was double (illegally) parked. Since he was breaking the law before the bus driver ever tried to pass him on the street, perhaps that will help to counteract the typical defense that he had a difficult childhood.

Geez, get it thru your thick head, people are sick of hearing about Travon M and George Z......

MOMaid - you should actually know what you're posting about prior to posting. There is proof Trayvon NEVER hit Zimmerman. Both the coroner and the funeral director will testify Trayvon had a small laceration on his ring finger - not the bruising and cuts he would have had if he had actually beaten anyone.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the school bus driver. His death, like so many, was unnecessary and stupid.

Some cases just cry out for a speedy trial. This is one. No motions for continuance, no delays, no "We need more time to prepare" excuses. This is not a complicated case. From the video you can see the disparity of size and from news stories we know the disparity of age between Mr. Del Valle - 65 and the psuedo-human thug, Scott, 28-30.

The violence so callously meted out by this psuedo-human is so beyond any help a kumbaya "anger management class" might offer. Cases like this are not deserving of rehabilitation. From other sources I read that Scott was an ex-con with a number of arrests. Apparently he had already been given chances at "rehabilitating himself", and, as usual he simply progressed to committing the ultimate crime - taking the life of a decent, kind, productive man, destroying families in the process.

Swift justice and an immediate long-term, if not permanent, removal from society are called for.

Oh, and if possible, I would hope he would get assigned to making side mirrors for the rest of his nasty life for no pay.

Wow, I can't believe you would compare the two incidents. Zimmerman did a lot of things wrong leading up to him confronting Martin who was doing nothing wrong, then when he gets his butt whipped he pulls a gun and kills him.

And how can you say this is about race? A black guy hits and kills a 65 yer old bus driver and in the other incident a black teenager gets killed by a vigilante. Aren't you a little confused?

Why are there so many off the wall people in the US---there has to be a common ground reason---Have my thoughts re: broken families, people who are mentally ill, not being taken care of; families protecting what they know is a mentally ill relative, without going to warn Authorities. The Economy, no home to live in; unemployment problems, deep in debt.

Nick:: You don't know anything about this case from a hill of cowpie.

First-- the man was 65 years old. Yes, he MAY have come out of a coma like some YOUNGER people have done. Well, the ratio of those who recover after a coma isn't very high. Besides, he may have had some underlying physical problem that wouldn't have allowed it.

Then you go into the Tea Party republican rant-- " First it'll be it's ok to euthanise those who are on the verge of death. Then it will be it's ok to euthanise the elderly. Then it's ok to euthanise handicapped people. Soon they'll tell you it's ok to kill everyone. Depopulation bull@!$%#.

Have you ever sat at the bedside of a person in a coma who MIGHT come out of it? Thank God my husband's coma was less than a day-- I watched him die. But I have worked as an aide in a hospital and also in a nursing home-- and was a volunteer at a veterans' hospital. Believe me, it isn't a very happy thing to see anyone in a coma.

I had a friend whose husband was a patient in a V A hospital and I would take her to the hospital so she could sit with him-- and it was harder on her when he slipped into a coma. So much easier on her when he passed away-- without coming out of the coma.

" Give the man more time he could have snapped out of his coma a while later. It's very common." Not as common as you would like to believe. And what would be his quality of life if he did come out of it? He might have come out of it and be a vegetable the rest of what life he has left. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GO TAKE CARE OF HIM? No, I didn't think so.

Marchant, how does a man beaten remorseleely translate into an anti-gun attack. I own a few guns, but I've never had to shoot anybody. What occured here, is a mindless attack on an elderly gentleman, because of a busted mirror. It's tragic, and unacceptable. But, it's far from the norm. Stop focusing so much on the bad, such as this, and try to help encourage the good. Eight years ago, I was in an accident, where my left leg was between my bike, and the pick-up truck I hit. Since that time I've seen rude, thoughtless, and uncaring people. But, they are a very small minority. Every time I leave my house, I see people who respond well to a greeting. They thank me when I hold a door for them, and they often hold a door for me. The killer is part of a small minority, and he probably thought, like you, that people are rude, and out to get us. I don't defend him, because there is no defense for beating somebody senseless. But, you are in danger of becoming him. As for guns, a guy came after me one time with a gun. I saw him coming, and his gun, so I picked up mine. He saw it, and took off running. As he was runiing, he fired his weapon, but he never came close. My weapon saved me, and him. If I hadn't had mine, he most likely would have shot and killed me. When you do away with legal firearms, the idiots and criminals will stil be able to buy them, but honest citizens won't. Let's encourage the good, and discourage the bad. That's how we will save mankind.

HE WAS NOT WANTED ON ANY WARRANTS. ZIMMERMAN WAS NOT AND IS NOT A LAW ENFORCMENT OFFICER. Now do you understand?

Now as far as this case he will get a minimal amount of time. It will be pled down. He won't be charged with first degree murder. Most likely a much lesser charge. He'll claim it was a accident that he didn't mean to kill the bus driver. He'll show evidence he had a bad childhood and drug problems etc etc

The idiots are the ones who are trying to use this forum for political gain against thier invisible rabbit the liberal. This is a sensless rage incident probabl becuse the driver was going back to his bus to get the paper he needed to fill out and place on the guys car and they guy thought he was leaving. long ago a guy who had been in jail that owned a store that was a customer of mine came home. He was there two days after spending 9 years incarcerated. He got his car out of storage had it all cleaned up which cost him a pretty pennie and was driving home with it and was broadsided by another car. He got out and shot the man to death He died in prison a couple of years ago. Road rage is not the answer. Neither is some of the foolish comments you might read here.

Yes he was arrested, but the article does not say anything about his current status. After all where does the article state he is currently still in jail.

Can you tone down your blatant antagonistic attitude and think that maybe people are annoyed that this article has had no media attention other than the death. MSN apparently overlooked it.

This motherphucker needs to be killed....this case should be tried in the media....have thousands of angry Whites and Hispanics march in the streets.....have the KKK put a bounty on Joey Scott's head (dead or alive) and have White/Hispanic celebrities tweet the address of where this scumbag lives so others can go exact some vengence.......see doesn't that just make everything better (sarcasm)......well it seemed to work in Florida so why not in NY....why isn't this case on CNN, ABC, NBC et al?

Let's look at some of the post-Trayvon racial attacks on whites, shall we? (And let's keep in mind MSNBC defined Zimmerman as a "White Hispanic"in its 7x24 headline coverage)

WKRG-TV in Mobile reported that one of the alleged attackers stated, “Now that’s justice for Trayvon” as they left Owens beaten on the ground. He has been in ICU since attack.

On April 20, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that two black teenagers in Oak Park, Ill., attacked a 19-year-old because “he was so upset about the Trayvon Martin case that he beat up a man because he was white.”

The Gainesville Sun reported that on April 9, a 27-year-old white male was attacked by “five to eight” black males who shouted “Trayvon” before attacking him and leaving him with “permanent disfigurement to the left side of his face.”

And Fox News reported April 5 that a 78-year-old white citizen of Toledo, Ohio, was the victim of a group assault, with the attackers allegedly yelling, “This is for Trayvon.”

It was the Virginia-Pilot that said its reporters Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami were attacked when they drove home from a show and stopped at a red light. Estimates were that 100 teens attacked, and on Twitter, a reference to the violence was accompanied by the words “do it for trayvon martin.”

But nothing to see here folks! No pattern, and no reverse racial hate crimes. Zip. Zilch. NADA. Sit down and shut up! If the media doesn't report about it and the liberals don't whine about it, it NEVER HAPPENED! Black-on-white/Hispanic/Jew crimes that are racially driven are non-existent and a made up "boogeyman." I know that to be fact, because that highly competent Eric Holder doesn't investigate about them and Obama doesn't talk about those victims.

Any liberals here even TALKING about those attacks? And let's keep in mind those were LOCAL media outlets that reported them that the NATIONAL media (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC [yeah that NBC that doctored Zimmerman's 911 call] FAILED to report about in headline news.

Road rage sucks! Race has nothing to do with it!

I've read so many racist remarks in the commentary about this incident,so here's my opinion about the racial tensions in this country.

There is no doubt in my mind that if the races were reversed in this case the NAACP would be all over it, but the guilty man was black so we won't hear word one from them about racial tensions. maybe it was racial,maybe it wasn't, I just wish race would be left out of every case. (yeah right! Impossible)

I think any agency that advocates specifically for one race/gender/religion nowadays is in itself practicing racism/bigotry and encouraging racism/bigotry! The first step towards racial equality required the NAACP, the next step does not.

The next step is EQUALITY! We have a black president. That spells out that the majority is no longer entirely made of white racists. There may be SOME,but there are SOME in every race now.In my own (humble) opinion true racial equality will never be achieved until all racial advocational groups are abollished. As long as I see myself as a WHITE male then I will always be a White male. As long as a person see's himself as a BLACK male he will always be such. You cannot say "I'M A BLACK MAN" and expect everyone to treat you as just an american man!

I am an american,NOT a norwegian american! Until everyone feels that way we are gonna be stuck in the 19'th century! Just think about where this country would be "IF WE ALL JUST GOT ALONG"?

I just can't see any way out of the mess this country is in until we all forget about race/religion/gender or sexual choice.I realize my rant/opinion is not gonna change anything but i just had to get it off my chest.AGAIN!

I truly feel for this mans family and hope the worst for the guilty man! REGARDLESS of his race! I too get upset at some bus drivers who use their flashers like a siren.ie. driving away from their stop before they turn off their flashers while 100 cars wait behind them so they can stop two streets away and do it again. But that does not give me an excuse to kill the bus driver. Just take a deep breath and count to 10 or 1,000,000.Whatever it takes. Road rage tests should be part of a drivers test in a simulator. If ever there was a case that justified the death penalty this is it! CAUGHT RED HANDED ON VIDEO!!!! NO DOUBT HE'S THE ONE WHO KILLED HIM! NO CHANCE OF PUTTING TO DEATH THE WRONG PERSON!!!The man was/is a scumbag.

@Marchant:

This country is in an angry mood.

The kooks are out to kill, for little reason, people with their guns committing huge amounts of galore killings, the violence of multiple massacres increasing. Did you know that gun sales are way up in the United States?

What has happened to Civility, even if it is a small accident, road rage takes over. People have "jumped" over the Law. No respect for Authority. It seems like the Old Wild West--anything goes, there is no self-containment.

(Sigh) Another media-informed chicken little. Violent crime is actually decreasing across the board. 2011 had the lowest rate of violent crime in over 40 years. This despite the fact that gun ownership is increasing and we're in a recession, when historically crime has increased.

So please, spare us the doom and gloom and proclamations of horror. Remember, even though violent crime has been steadily declining since the early 90's, media coverage of violent crime has increased over 400% in the same time frame-- you're reading/viewing/hearing more and more about fewer and fewer events.

Here's a NY Times article about the crime decrease:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/24/us/24crime.html

and here's a chart from the bureau of justice:

@ Clark - since you still cannot understand where I'm coming from, I'll clarify a sentence in my original post a little:

"If the MAIN STREAM media doesn't report about it and the liberals don't whine about it, it NEVER HAPPENED!" You know what I'm saying with regards to the racers, outrage, and 7x24 Trayvon coverage, and you know I'm right with regards to the shunning of reverse race-motivated crimes. So don't attempt to insult my intelligence or the intelligence of others that agree with me that those attacks bear very little main stream media attention and outrage...from the White House on down.

i agree with you that violence and ignorant behavior is wrong whether black/ white or white/ black or anything else. but maybe you should exert your energies toward blogging or using social media to bring attention to events that are important to you as someone obviously did in the trayvon martin case instead of complaining that no one else has.

Typical angry this typical angry that you who call others that are no better than that yourself. You have no more respects for the rights of others than the person you accuse. And maybe that is the problem in the country that contributes to this kind of behavior. The I'm the only one who can be right so everybody else should shut up mindset. The total lack of respect for others in this country who do not agree with you. This is an angry country. In politics we would rather force everybody to our view than convince them of it. If those on the streets are angry and do things like this they are just the extremes of the behavior of the rest of us. CLARKE for anyone who says that something is reverse racism they will get the same answer that Eric Holder gave. That racism cannot happen to whites. And so when 3 black teens pour alcohol on a white teen and set him on fire that isn't a hate crime. Not in this country. We will wait for you to open your eyes and see the truth because if we tell you it happens you set your feet and call us liars. In the meantime I will pray for your enlightenment before we all cease to exist.

@jhawke Don't worry, Clark Bent is just being a troll.

Three local stories, Fox, and the Chicago Sun-Times doesn't even compare to 24/7 headlines on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, or even CNN. Fox has made the same complaint that you did about the lack of attention to these crimes by the other major networks...the other major news networks all blatantly ignored these stories while heavily slanting (or outright fabricating) their coverage of the Martin/Zimmerman case, but yet the leftist idiots like to claim that Fox isn't a legitimate news network?

lonereb- personally i believe the idea of a hate crime is pretty subjective and irrelevant. if a person is assaulted the perpetrator should be charged with assault. same for murder, vandalism, etc. George Zimmerman was charged with second degree murder and not a hate crime. when 3 black teens pour alcohol on a white teen and set him on fire they should each be charged with attempted murder and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

racism has been a plague on the ideals of the foundation of this great country. the definition is universal and the concept of reverse racism is redundant. either we agree that it is wrong and should be condemned in all manifestations or we can argue that the existence of one form justifies the other.

    Beaten into coma? The guy hit him once. Unfortunately, he fell in an awkward way and hurt himself worse. The victim put his hands on the perp guy first, grabbing at him before he threw the one punch. Didn't look like a beat down to me.

    It's not smart to get into another grown mans face and grab at him. You never know what kind of "loose cannon" you might be dealing with. I can't imagine that throwing a punch is even close to "intent" to kill. It was a freak incident. People punch people in the face all the time. People don't usually drop and die.

If a man is in his twenties or thirties and very strong, 6 feet one inches tall and over 200 pounds he shouldn't be hitting a 60 something year old man. Matter of fact he shouldn't be hitting anyone but especially not a 60 something year old man, even if the 60 year old were at fault, which in this case he wasn't. The yound man was at fault for double parking. If you can't see this or undertand it, then Im disapointed and ashamed of you.

I am tired of watching family members skirt the desires of the sick person to suit their OWN SELFISH NEEDS. If the person already told you PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME IN THIS CONDITION, then RESPECT THAT. HONOR WHO THEY WERE and not some shell that they have come to be. I see the wounds and the bed sores, the non brain activity, In all honesty you are setting yourself up for disappointment if you let your relative's already dead body exist in this state like this.

        And as far as Trayvon Martin goes ZIMMER IS A COWARD who DESERVES to be in jail. THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED US ALL if it makes EXCUSES for a POOR EXCUSE OF A MAN like Zimmerman to SHOOT AN UNARMED CHILD! The child was NOT TRESSPASSING he was walking on a street he was SUPPOSED to be on and this idiot comes picking a fight with a child that he KNEW was a child. I hope the jury sees that he was COACHED by HIS PARENTS, SEE THROUGH HIS PACK OF LIES because I KNOW OF NO BLACK,SPANISH, OR WHITE WHO SPEAKS the way Zimmerman is claiming Trayvon Martin spoke to him UNLESS YOU WATCHED WAY TOO MANY WESTERNS. Trayvon was 17 years of age and do you know of ANY that speak like the way Zimmerman claims in his bull@!$%# pack of lies video?

        MIGHTY FUNNY how ZIMMERMAN has ALL of these "SUPPOSED INJURIES" but TRAYVON MARTIN DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING BUT A CUT ON HIS RING FINGER. Sounds to me like COWARDMAN confronted T.MARTIN and got pushed away. Idiot not expecting a kid to fight his punk A$$ back then pulled his gun in FEAR (Not for his life like he claims but fear of getting a beat down). He probably hit his head going down from the initial shove. Do I beleive a 17yearold boy who was on a telephone call with a girl when confronted did everything Zimmerman is claiming... HELL NO because thats not what the little girl he was talking to recalls the conversation. He died within 3-5 minutes of the call so all of that COULDN'T have happened as Zimmerman says(and thats just COMMON SENSE). HE IS A LIAR and a CHEAT check the whole thing with the Bail hearing. PROVEN.

        As for the idiot that hit this old man hes another one I HOPE NEVER GETS OUT. For the Love of GOD he was double parked and then had the nerve to get mad that the bus hit his CHRYSLER SEBRING! ARE YOU F#@KING KIDDING me dude? ITS A CHRYSLER NOT A PORSHE. HOW much could the part have been to replace and he could of just rode on down to Hunts Point and had it done quick fast but for a price. He could have even ordered the part there. I did once for one of my previous cars. He instead took the cowards way out and assulted an old man and left two kids without a care taker not caring what might happen to them either. I say child endangerment be added to those murder charges so that we make sure this A-Hole NEVER SEES the LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN.

It is happening more and more, more groups of people are being killed in massacres, home violence taking the entire family by the male spouse, College/all Grade levels of Schools, (Columbine) massacres by a lone person, increased suicide rates among the younger people, road rage. Angry Country---Most people know someone who has been murdered in some way--I do---Vehicular Homicide, beatings, domestic violence, arrests for drugs/then violence, etc. Driving while under the Influence killing a precious relative or friend. It happens ALL the time.

          Joey Scott, the murder, is a black male who weighs 215 pounds and stands 6'1". He is half the age of the man he murdered. He has something like 20 prior convictions.

          Quick, call Al and Jesse. I'm sure they'll scream for justice in this case.

          Ok, for all the idiots asking 'Where's the outcry???'

          There isn't one, he's in jail with a $250k bond.

          Why would there be an outcry??? Everything is happening as it should.

          The guy was arrested, just like he should have been.

          Out Cry?? Well...those are the people that only see race. Only talk about race. And dream about race.

          But fail to see anything else. Man was killed in Texas for trying to rape a little girl. The killer white. The man killed, Mexican. Did he have the right to kill him? Don't know...but if were reversed i think there would be an out cry.

          Why? Because this world is all about race to most of the ignorant, and not about what really happend.

            @Marchant

            the problem is that you're wrong.

            Everyone does not believe your thoughts

            They're not "my thoughts," they're facts. A HUGE distinction.

            http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/24/us/24crime.html

            http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/glance/tables/viortrdtab.cfm

            http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/crimestats

            Violent crime is at its lowest level in over 40 years. You claiming that it isn't doesn't change the fact that every single authority that compiles these statistics show otherwise. Read it and weep.
            Here's some nice quotes from the links above:

            The number of violent crimes in the United States dropped significantly last year, to what appeared to be the lowest rate in nearly 40 years, a development that was considered puzzling partly because it ran counter to the prevailing expectation that crime would increase during a recession.

            In all regions, the country appears to be safer. The odds of being murdered or robbed are now less than half of what they were in the early 1990s

            and from the FBI:

            Preliminary figures indicate that, as a whole, law enforcement agencies throughout the nation reported a decrease of 4.0 percent in the number of violent crimes brought to their attention for 2011 when compared with figures reported for 2010.

            And the DOJ graph I linked to:

            Total violent crime per 1000 persons in US

            1973: 47.7
            1983: 46.5
            1993: 49.1
            2003: 22.3
            2009: 16.9

            That's a pretty obvious downward trend even someone as gullible as you should be able to follow. For all your fear mongering, you can't argue with the cold hard facts.

              If it's fair to charge Zimmermann with Second Degree Murder, this creep surly deserves nothing less ! However to those who would willingly choose Bloomberg as Mayor, it will probably be considered just another traffic incident!

              Hey jerkoff, theirs a difference between a traffic accident beating/killing and a kid beating the crap out of a wanna be cop and getting killed for it, a wanna-be cop that was told to stop following said kid? Let me see... A bus driver, a kid walking home... A man's car gets hit, A man foolows kid around creeping him out... The man who's car was minamally damaged savagely attacks a defensless old bus driver and kills him, A fight gets out of control and a kid gets killed.... Yep those sound about the same so they should charge, prosicute, and sentence all the same... Your a dolt!!!!

                          I would like to see him locked up for life, but unfortunately we can't because the prisons are too crowded. Its time to make some serious decisions about how to most effectively utilize the prison space we have; instead of locking up some stoner who got could smoking week on his couch minding his own business, lets lock up these serious society risks instead.

                          Until that stoner decides to take a drive and runs over someone or hits another car and kills someone that way...or does something at their job (assuming they remain coherent enough to hold one) that hurts someone....yeah, its completely "harmless" to get high---NOT!!! Drugs are not cool.

                          As long as we're throwing out nonsensical solutions, maybe we should control prison populations by eliminating prisoners instead? Death penalty (speedy, not dragged out for years on end) for repeat/multiple offenders instead of life in prison would knock the prison population down a good bit, I'll wager. Doubt that anyone would find that solution politically palatable though...

                            Another case of " I did not mean to kill him " but you did, and for that a life for a life, if this had been a cop who died the person who did it would not even make it to trial. Until we start demanding total justice for the victims there is no deterent for the criminal. If you kill someone or abuse a child then its execution for you. Make your case to God. The only people who should possibly get life is the ones who commit a crime without hurting a human being. Period.

                              @Jim

                              non-violent drug offenders choke our prison system. Look up the figures for it. As for your concern about DUI-- releasing people who were arrested for drugs would not increase the percentage of DUI statistically speaking. People who want to drive high already do it. There are separate penalties that deal with that. Simple possession is not enough to state that they were DUI. A man arrested in his home for growing marijuana in his garage, for example, cannot be charged with DUI. That's an outrageous leap of logic.

                              Drugs are not cool.

                              Yeah. They are.

                              Don't believe me? Here:

                              Third Eye
                              Last Dance
                              I Am the Walrus
                              Lucy
                              I Don't
                              Hash Pipe
                              Echoes

                              Hoffman's Potion

                              If you're not convinced after reviewing the material, I can link to more. Drugs have provided a means by which human beings have identified themselves, their surroundings, their place in the universe, the role of the spirit, the infinite nature of reality and the advancement of perception since our earliest ancestors. Many anthropologists even argue that consciousness itself may have arisen from early ancestral encounters with hallucinogenic flora (most probably psilocybin-bearing mushrooms). Drugs aren't cool? Then why do they persist so adamantly? Why does our popular culture revolve around them? Drugs have been an integral part of the human experience from the very beginning-- and they will likely be with us unto the bitter end.

The fact of the matter is that if MSNBC employed responsible writers who were good reporters, no one would have to look up a news source local to the story. A good writer who has a clue would report all of the information that is currently available and would not neglect to include the name of the killer. That's OK, though, because you just made yourself look like a huge A**.

                                Road rage is not limited to the crowded streets of the Bronx.

                                I see it every day and I drive a two lane asphalt highway in very rural America.

                                People want to drive faster than I do and it really makes them insane. I go 55 and get 35 mpg. These fools want to go 75 and faster. 15 minutes later, in the small town nearby, I see them at the gas station filling up.

                                My deepest condolences to this man's family, friends and co workers. What a senseless tragedy.

                                I hope the State of NY has the sense to lock Joey Scott away for the rest of his life. Or else send him to Saudi Arabia and let them behead him in public.

                                no pictures of him plastered everywhere because he is a colored person ...

                                Colored person? What planet are you from? He is what his own Race calls a Gangsta, a Nigga and his actions confirm the lack of civility most of this group demonstrate. The men screw anything they can get their hands on. When they turn up pregnant they are gone, leaving babies all over the place for the taxpayer to raise.

                                Now all of you that are outraged with my blunt honesty know in your minds this to be true. Every now and then you get a Barack Obama but the percentages are skewed way opposite of whites.

                                  Joey Scott is his name and he is a black male.....30 years old and pretty big. He killed a 65 year old over a broken mirror.

                                  55 on an asphalt 2 lane road is not too slow, 75 is too fast, there is no flow of traffic issues, because it is not a freeway with four lanes of traffic. the person going 75 is the cause of accidents in this situation.

                                  We can only hope this man understands the error of his ways. Since its unlikely, if he doesn't, that he will ever be reformed. Hope that he gets a good long time to think it over.

                                  What concerns me is how a minority in our society (mostly Conservative bullies) has taken public school teachers and employees for granted. They vilify them as incompetent, stupid, lazy, good for nothing, over-paid, over-pensioned, over-insured, under-worked, under-performing, useless, worthless dregs of our society and educational system. These public employees cannot protect themselves from the citizens at large or students for fear of retaliation by taxpayers or parents, whose little angels can do no wrong. The bullied bus monitor video is the MOST vile, and disgusting thing I have EVER seen (what little I could stomach)! And aside from their non-developed maturity, where do those little punk b@st@rds get their nerve? From the minority that attempts to bully public employees! Now a man is dead over a broken mirror. Oh yeah, let's not recognize how well most public employees do serve us, instead everyone can just join the Conservatives in bullying and trash talking these fine hardworking people till nobody is left willing to do the job.

                                  It won't bring as much attention because our true sense of morality is obfuscated by the desire of many to proclaim their political correctness under the false guise of railing against racism. You know who these people are. Examples are Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their ilk. If they can't add to their purported prestige or advance their self serving agenda they are simply not interested.

                                  As I have said too many times to count. Violence against a black person is no worse or better than violence against a white person It is all despicable and horrible. Skin color is irrelevant. Until we begin to see this our society will remain stagnant and mired in an evolutionary sink hole.

                                  That those guys don't stand up and make a call to end violence against anyone, regardless of skin color, is very telling. One could make the argument that they are in fact racist for not doing so.

                                  His name is Joey Scott an ex-con. He's in Rikers Island on a $250,000 bond. Why do you think every case should get the same treatment as the Martin case? There are a lot more intricacies of the Martin case than in this one.

                                  I don't get why people condemn the "liberal media" if every single case doesn't get the same amount of press. Cases get press commensurate with their ability to sell advertising. The only reason this case got any press is because it's so clear and brutal. There is a clear bad guy that we can all get angry at and feel satisfied when he's sentenced.

                                  Well that is pretty much the most idiotic comment ever. Martin/Zimmerman case got attention because Zimmerman was not arrested and not going to have to answer for what happened. The guy that assaulted the bus driver was arrested.

                                  Is that really too complex for you to understand? You can't see the simple differenece between the two. Had Zimmerman had been arrested and had to stand trial in the beginning, not media would have gotten involved. It was simply because the police were simply taking Zimmerman's word, no investigation, and that was utterly ridiculous.

                                  Too bad you all want to politicize a simple question of justice or no justice. If the police had done their job, the media, Shartpton, others, would not have needed to get involved.

                                  You should be equally outraged about the Zimmerman/Martin case.

                                  Tarzan--exactly. The Trayvon Martin story was sexy for the lib media because it was "man bites dog" in that they could make a big racial story out of it by highlighting it being the BIG WHITE GUY picking on the little innocent Black kid.

                                  Never mind that that didn't fit the facts, MOST of them STILL are trying to sugar coat the fact that Trayvon was NOT an innocent kid (and don't get me wrong, neither should he have died, but he DID start the fight, and WAS the bigger of the two, and DID have him on the ground. And DID have THC in his blood, proving that the reason he was suspended from school was NOT a "misunderstanding''.)

                                  Most of the lib media are STILL referring to Zimmerman as HALF Peruvian, when it has been known almost from the get go that he was ALL Peruvian with a white Step-dad. Guess it is STILL sexier to make the Trayvon Martin case a 'white on black crime'.

                                    To poster fireaway: Your friends at MSNBC have showed/played edit sound bites to present a story in a particular slant. Why? MSNBC is owned by General Electric. GE is run by Jeffrey Immelt. Jeffrey Immelt gets a position in the Obama administration. General Electric pays no taxes to the Feds. MSNBC will present news favorable to Obama and unfavorable to Obama opponents. Of course, everyone knows this.

                                    Mediabistro dot com shows continuous domination of Fox News over all other news outfits. Well, except when MSNBC runs their prisoner program marathon on the weekends. I would believe your comments on Fox News if it wasn't for the fact that Fox News get majority viewership. Fireaway, you have to try other sources (video, audio, online (podcasts)) for a month occasionally to find out what others are broadcasting. There are many conservative, liberal and other distinctive viewpoints out there.

                                    And while I'm here, Johnm-#######, stupid posts contain insults using made up words like repuglican, repuklican, or Johnnym come lately in lieu of presenting a logical argument. Buddy boy, you are an ignorant liberal Food Stamper, just you, no one else.

TM DID have THC in his system? so what? does high school suspension equal victim of justifiable homicide? what about the adderall and tamazepan prescriptions GZ was on? sure those have zero affects on a persons perceptions and thought processes. TM DID start the fight? really? maybe you should take your evidence and law degree and go represent GZ pro bono since you are so passionate about the case. while you are at it why dont you look up this creep mr. Scott. Im sure he can use such a thorough investigator and qualified attorney such as yourself to defend him for standing his ground against mr. DelValle who seemed to be on a suspicious rampage of destruction of property with his school bus.

                                    Good point about the liberal media never even mentioning the name of the killer. It is Joey Scott. He is black and big (6-1, 215 pounds). He is 35 years younger than the man he murdered.

                                    I think MSNBC just hates to report certain crimes.

                                      He was doubled parked! It is his fault his mirror was hit in the first place. Then to kill someone, intentionally or not, is mind boggling. My hear goes out to the family of the victim.

                                      I really don't understand some people any more. what is wrong with that "man" to make him kill some one over a minor accident.

                                      He needs to be removed from society, the old fashioned way: shunned, where no one would have anything to do with him, no other human would feed him, clothe him, help him in any way. i know this is impossible today unless he is just taken somewhere inhospitable and dropped of with nothing but the clothes on his back. Then he will see how big a "man" he actually is.

                                      Considering the killer's history of felony arrests over the past decade plus, how can anyone argue that having and using three time loser laws that put felons with multiple convictions behind bars for 25 years to life are not in the best interest of society? I would personally like to see the prison system in this country take a step back to the era of the chain gangs, prison farms and other forms of inmate labor. As long as they can sit on their bunks and read between meals and watching TV, what's their incentive to not commit more crimes when they get out? Make them get out of bed at 5 am, get dressed, and then drag their backsides out to the fields or into the shops to work 8 hours a day. No work, no privileges or at least extremely reduced privileges. Limit their access to outside people and eliminate any packages from outside the prison. No mail other than simple letters. No computer or phone access. Make them work for those privileges.

                                      I'm perfectly content with the government designating an island as a penal colony and dumping all of them onto it. Provide them with the training to build their own homes and grow their own food and dump them off. Some of them will kill some of the others, but since they're all violent repeat offenders, exactly how great a loss would it be?

And now we'll get to pay to support him in prison for 10 or 15 years. What has this world come to? Let's save millions of dollars, take him out back, and put a bullet in his head. Step 1 in reclaiming our nation from the thugs.

                                        The, "world" has already been down that road and it has proven to do nothing but murder someone. Bullets to the head should be a part of our uncivilized history. Humans can and should be better than that. Weakness is the bullet to the head. The easy way out. for all. We should be teaching our children that blood thristy, vindictive revenge oriented thinking is a thing of the past.

First you say "don't kill the murderers, the rapist and the pedophiles, put them in jail". So we listened to you. Then you said "don't put them in prison the rest of their lives, they learned their lesson, let them out". Again we listened to you. Now hundreds of thousands of innocent people have been murdered, raped and children abused by these very same people YOU let out of prison. Their blood is on your hands. Justice means JUSTICE.

                                        Ross~ With respect, my sympathies are towards the victims and not for the -fill in the blank naughty word- people who go around murdering, raping, and hurting others simply because they can and they just don't care. If you commit a heinous crime like murder, you take away someone who has (most likely) a family and friends that care about them. You not only kill a person but you put a hole in the hearts of those that loved them. For that they have no sympathy from me. I will qualify that by saying it depends on the circumstance. If a person is defending themselves from a home invader who intends to do harm to him/her or their family, my sympathies are for the person who had to kill, not the intruder. No one should kill simply for material possessions.

                                        Step 2: clear all of our jails and prison of illegal aliens. Ship them back to their country of origin and lock down our borders tight so they can not return ever. This would reduce the billions of dollars we spend as a nation annually in housing them and free up room for the criminals that unfortunately, are citizens of this country.

                                        Step 3: As a nation stop glorifying violence and making it seem the norm rather than the exception to decent, normal behavior.

                                        I'm sure this list of steps could be added to almost endlessly in things to be done to change the face of America.

                                          Dave, life should mean life. There should be no early parole. Killing is not the solution. It is exactly what the killer did and found justification in doing in his or her own mind just like you find jutification in killing someone in your own mind. We need to remove this type of thinking from society bit by bit. We need bye in from all to make it happen or we are doomed to life in a world were killing is acceptable. I would have loved to have grown up in a world with no killing. Unfortunately people such as yourself find justification to kill so killing will continue. We need to teach youth that killing is wrong. We are definitely a long way from that goal. A worthy and just goal non the less. People who want the quick and easy fix will continue to want to kill and call it justice rather than what it is which is murder.

                                            Why or should society allow this thug to ever walk the streets? He killed a man over a broken Chrysler Sebring mirror and runs away like a coward? Even if a parole board or Doctor says he is rehabilitated and puts him on meds, that he may forget to take, would you trust him if you live in his apartment buiding, down the hall when he is out on parole?

                                            Liberals advocating rehabilitation, write his defense attorney and request he live next door to you.

                                              The guy deserves to be charged with second degree murder and convicted. Perhaps a photo of the victim should be posted on his cell wall with him to write a letter each year to the family on the victim's birthday.

                                              I blame the Media too for dividing the people. Talking trash about Hispanics on Fox News all the time creates anger. People seem to think that if you look Hispanic or have a Hispanic last name you are automatically here in this country illegally. That is the mentality of some ignorant people. You always hear it, "Illegal Hispanics are taking our jobs" that is what the Media Fox News puts out there and that is what probably enraged this POS animal. It's been happening everywhere and all over the country. Thanks Fox News for creating hatred toward all Hispanics. Not all Hispanics are here illegally!!!!!!!

If you don't believe be you can start by reading their blogs and comments they allow in their websites. Their mediators don't care about hate or racist comments.

                                              If you dont think that news station creates and nurtures a toxic, xenophobic, homophobic culture - you're an idiot.

                                              when i was a very young boy, my brother told me to try to avoid fighting because you could punch someone in the face and they could fall and hit their head on the curb and die.people must teach their children that you only fight to defend yourself or your family. not because someone broke your mirror. as a professional driver, i see all to often that people are very comfortable confronting people who work with the public. they feel comfortable because they know that I'm @work and i can't just get crazy back. i wish it was my truck and that a-hole would've try that on me. he would've got just what he needed-- a good old fashioned a** whooping. we need to take a collection for this man's family

                                                What would posess a person to strike a senior citizen? This is the way some people resolve their issues. A stupid side view mirror, got this guy killed. The perp probably will not be charged with homicide, as it is going to be hard to prove he intended to kill him by punching him in the face. It will be interesting to see how the prosecutor proceeds --- the mitigating factor will be the victims age --- aggravated manslaughter and the judge is gonna go pedal to the metal on the sentencing guidelines.

                                                He will probably plea bargain down. This makes me nervous to look at any damage during a fender bender. My mom use to say. "Its not that I don't trust your driving, its all the other idiots on the road". Her idea is becoming a way a life.

                                                  The other driver fled the scene. He was later arrested.

                                                  Yeah...and? Who is this guy? What's his take? Come on, MSNBC, what does he look like? Because I, along with every other civil person on this thread, would like to know just what kind of animal would do this to a 65 year old bus driver.

                                                  The video says the suspected attacker, 30 year old ex con Joey Scott (sp?) has been arrested and could face upgraded charges of murder.

                                                  The video? Which video? Not this^ video.

                                                  I've since googled "Joey Scott" and have now come across other videos where this unthinking monster is mentioned by said name.

                                                  Thanks.

                                                  I remember, I was in my 20's, I seen an old man 70-80 trying to change his flat tire. It was in the middle of a cold midwest winter. I pulled over and changed the tire for this old man and my payment was the look in his eyes and the thaank you I got. I in my 40's now and I hope, should I live tell 70's, that someone would do the same for me. Reading these posts you all made shows me that we still have a heart and care what happens to our older generation. I agree with these posts that he should get the maximum for what he did just to stop these low lives to leave our parents and grandparents alone. My prayers are with the family of this senseless crime. This man will have to lie with the fact he killed someone over a broken mirror.

                                                  Well you all should know that, this monster is now behind bars on a $250,000 bail. According to info online he is housed at the Anna M. Kross Correctional Facility on Assault charges, so they haven't upgraded the charges to murder yet. He's shceduled to appear in court tomorrow.

                                                  This is just awful! A senseless killing over a mirror that I'm sure couldn't have cost no more than $50. Was it really worth it Mr. Scott? Well, you will have a very long time to think about actions.

                                                  My heart goes out to the famly of Mr. DelValle's family. Words can't express how sorry and sadden I am at your loss. Your brother, father and grandfather did not deserve for this to happen to him. I pray that the Peace of God will comfort you all during this time of bereavement. You all are in my prayers!

                                                  JoeCal You liked that story. Good! I hope you will like this story. I am White. I was waiting at a bus stop in the middle of the day. It was in a Black neighborhood. I was about 50-60 at the time. That was years ago. (Just an aside, as a little girl I lived on that very spot. All structures have been gone for years.) Here I was all alone and several young Black thugs came up to me and started hassling me. None of them touched me, yet, and maybe they wouldn't have, but I couldn't know their intentions. I became quite frightened and I was hoping in the worse way the bus would come. An elderly Black man, who probably could not have beaten any one of the several youths came to my rescue. He spoke to them like their grandfather bawling them out for their misbehavior. They tucked their tails between their legs and slunk away. I thanked this gentleman profusely, but he dismissed it as something anyone would do.

                                                    Nice story. But, all those that hate people of color will look away and pay your story no mind.

                                                    You see they love to hate others and have been doing so for a very long time. Why are they here on this board? Read most of the post...is it about this poor man being killed, or about "Black this" Left wing that".

                                                    Sooo very see through and sad. Yes, your story tells us that not all blacks are monsters, but that's not what these people of hate want to hear.

                                                      Maybe the POS had no insurance and was worried he'd get ticketed for it?? In my state he would but don't know about the laws there. This SOB should have his charges upgraded to murder and he should at the least get life without the possibility of parole if not death. Why in the world was a person with such an extensive rap sheet eve nwalking free in the 1st place???? In honor of the murdered gentleman the citizens of his state should gather together by any means possible and start demanding from their elected officials tougher laws and sentencing guidelines for POS's like this. So many place so little value on anothers life and liberty. Such a sad, sorry world we live in so much of the time!!!

                                                      Hopefully his temper and size will be an asset in prison. As the victim's sister said, he is a danger to society. He needs to be permanently removed. Killing a man over a broken mirror because he double parked is unacceptable.

                                                          This is horribly sad.......... the man was actually doing what he should do when an accident happens. Surveying the damage and then the "THE MORON" that actually "CAUSED" the accident by double parking hurts him critically that he's hospitalized and then has passed away. I hope he has to spend time. He should really LEARN how to control temper and accept that accidents happen and this man was trying to be responsible for his and he "WAY OVER REACTED AND NOW HOPEFULLY WILL SPEND A LOT OF JAIL TIME"... No sympathy for him at all!!!!!!!!!!!! Only the the deceased and his family are in my thoughts.

                                                                This is what concerns me about the human race. How can any sentient being lack that much self control. The answer is that there are elements of society that have not evolved sufficiently. My fear is that part of society is likely much larger than many believe. We need to be aware of the fact that we are not far removed from that scene from 2001 a space odyssey where the monkey discovers how to use a bone as a club. As a society too many remain crude and underdeveloped. Take this as an example, and that which we have in the Middle east. It makes me sad to think how far we have to go to really be considered civilized and developed as a species. We are simply not there yet. I wonder how many tens of thousands of years will it take?

The hatred and filthy language in the comments and name calling is appalling and sometimes it is only because someone spelled a word wrong. If people would just stop and read what they wrote and think about it for a full minute before posting maybe that would help their attitudes. My spellcheck does not work on this website for an unknown reason and that may be the case with others.

                                                                      the driver that did this was undoubtedly late for an appointment etc... or maybe one of the people in our country that don't feel they have to obey our rules... such as the ambassadorial staff from other countries...

                                                                      enough of the crazy... if it is on tape... skip the trial... and don't waste more of my money... be done with the sentence...

Since he was double parked, he probably realized that he would have to pay out of pocket. A senseless crime, leaving a family to grieve. I hope that they make a statement with this man. Life without the possibility of parole. Here in Michigan we are getting more and more people attacking bus drivers. We made the news a while back when a "mental midget" attacked a bus driver for no reason. She was saved only because some school kids on the bus stopped him. We need to make examples of these nitwits, and give them more than the maximum. If they take a life, we should take that person's life. What are we becoming. No remorse, just anger for no reason............

It does not matter if they are parked correctly or not. Truthfully, I cannot think of any kind of accident that would not be considered my fault at least to a degree.

Another 3% or so might have flown off the handle, but wouldn't do harm if they really thought about it. Then you have your 2%ers who would happily punch out or even kill somebody if provoked enough. Doesn't sound like the punch was intended to kill, but that's what it did. If this guy has the rap sheet others are talking about then he needs to go away for a long, long time. If for no other reason than to protect society from him. We spend too much time and money locking up people who screw up and end up letting parasites go free because they haven't been caught committing our pet crime of the week... yet.
