This Friday, a British man named Daniel Simmonds was taking the bus home when a man began threatening passengers with a knife while unleashing homophobic slurs.

“It’s not alright to be gay,” he said.
“Even when I’m talking now the white man get offended….You say anything, I’ll murder you, I’ll stab you up in your face…I’ve got a new knife. I wanna…I might do that now but there’s cameras.
Every day I read the Bible, the Torah, and the Quran. It says when you tell the truth, the pagans don’t like that. They like lies. That’s why they go home to watch batty man programs. EastEnders, Coronation Street – all them queers in it. That’s what they teach the kids….The white people are deluded. They think they’re God. Even when I’m talking now, it’s burning them.”
This inspired Simmonds to speak up.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Excuse me,” he said. “Excuse me. I’m gay and I’m white, and I don’t think I’m God. Are you threatening to stab me?”
The man with the knife replied: “Do you know me? Don’t talk to me! Leave me alone, because I can see what you’re up to…you’re gay and you’re clever. Leave me alone. You heard that, gay clever man. Don’t talk to me.”
This led other passengers to start speaking up until the man was ultimately thrown off the bus.
Posting the video to Facebook, Simmonds wrote:
“Hatred has many faces, whatever your color, creed, sexuality or anything else. This was my bus home tonight…Thanks to the amazing TFL driver – you didn’t mess around!”

Mo Bro was about to defend this guy as a good Republican, but then realized the man was black so didn’t post.

oh lover you may just have won the internet this day! BRAVO!!! LMAO
Mo Bro
Yours is a typical white-privileged remark from a fascist Nazi who can’t even recognize his own inherent racism due to his immersion in a subculture which rejects anything that isn’t like-minded.
(nah, jk, I just enjoy raving like a batshit-crazy liberal every now and then)
ChrisK
Ha. Good one and so true.
IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou
He mentioned reading the Koran so of course you tried to use a diversion to defend this homophobic muslim terrorist.
DCguy
@ IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou
If he used the Bible as a reference you would be on here defending him and attacking people for pointing out his bigotry.
Bigotry from the Koran and Bigotry from the Bible are all bigotry, yet you (As one of Mo Bros Screenames) defend Bible bigotry

Sadly, Zamunda isn’t sending their best these days.

Wow! A public bus filled with commuters who depend on it to conduct their daily business and a lowly asshole likes this boards to make every one else’s day as miserable as his. He threatens people with a knife? On a public bus? Imagine the disturbances that would have occurred had the police showed up with weapons drawn and put his frustrated ass out of its misery.

In London UK the police is unarmed. Only in dangerous situations they call the special armed service. And this guys are trained to avoid deadly force.
Stilinski26
makes anti white comments while living in a white country. If you don’t like white people don’t go back where you came from

And of course he wasn’t arrested for making threats and spouting hate speech. He’s black and reads the koran. The white guy willl probably get arrested for disturbing the attacker. Europe has fallen.
charlie_jackpot
This video and others like it has led to arrests. Europe is strong
Observant
He said he read the Bible, the Torah, and the Koran. I doubt this emotionally disturbed individual reads any of the above, but regardless, it’s a bit of a leap to label him a Muslim terrorist; bigoted, racist, homophobic, and deranged, certainly.
You can find wingnuts like him on public transportation in any major city in the world. It was gratifying to see the situation diffused and the individual removed from the bus without escalation or violence.
Mo Bro
Europe is scary as fu—er, fornication, and the effect is being seen in the reduction in tourism. Sad they keep electing people to lead them into the proverbial furnace.
Clay83
MO Bro, what do you know about Europe. Go and educate yourself. Yes there are problems but no worse than whats happening in the US
Mo Bro
@Clay83:
I know that you have weekly terrorist attacks.
I know that your “leaders” behave as if the victims have done something wrong.
I know people are frightened of your streets.
I know many more people will die because of pacifists like yourself.
I know I could go on and on, but you get the point.
DCguy
Awww, how adorable, Mo Bro is using the fake FOX News line that tries to pretend Europe is so dangerous.
Remember when Bobby Jindal and other Republicans lied and said that Paris was a pit of crime and had “No Go” Zones? Funny they tried to hide the fact that Paris’s murder rate is TWENTY TWO TIMES LOWER than the state Jindal was governor of.
The right wing also LOVES to keep holding up Chicago as the city with the worst crime in the U.S. (Because it’s in a blue state and Obama was from that state).
Funny that they leave out that a LOT of cities in red states like Memphis, Houston, Birmingham, St. Louis, New Orleans etc… all have higher crime rates than Chicago.
Oooops, guess facts are upsetting.
Bob LaBlah
@MoBro……….”and the effect is being seen in the reduction in tourism. ”
Care to share with us what country is experiencing drops in tourism? The last I heard not even Albania has reported any drops in tourism.
charlie_jackpot
I don’t think he actually had a knife
Sadly people mouthing off like this is nothing new on London transport, thankfully it didn’t turn violent
He BGB
You gay clever man you. I know what you’re doing. You’re really Bianca del Rio and going to entertain me to death.
Sluggo2007
Just another wacko blacko. I see things aren’t much different across the pond.
James
The guy has a knife and he is threatening people and he is merely “thrown off the bus.” Does not speak well for ending terrorism in Europe. The police should have been called, the guy is too dangerous to be in public.
DCguy
Considering crime is many magnitudes lower in Europe they must be doing something better than the U.S.
