More Citizen Comments About NJ Transit/ Community Coach Reckless Bus Drivers Killing Innocent Pedestrian On Change.org

NJ Transit doles out millions of dollars each year to settle claims related to pedestrians who have been struck by NJ Transit buses, resulting in brain injuries, crushed hands and feet, disfigurement or — in a few cases — death, records show. http://www.northjersey.com/news/nj-state-news/injury-lawsuits-are-a-costly-for-nj-transit-1.547090

LIVINGSTON, NJ - The Alternative Press recently received tips from commuters on the Community Coach 77 bus line that bus drivers have been engaging in unsafe practices while vehicles are in motion. https://www.tapinto.net/articles/community-coach-says-no-comment-to-allegations

Transportation Alternatives supports this legislation to protect New Jersey from reckless bus drivers.

Transportation Alternatives, New Jersey, NJ
On Wednesday July 18th 3016 Deshon was on his way to work when he was killed by Community Coach Bus Driver Wilson Romaine operating NJ Transit bus 709 refused to stop and pick up victim Johnson at the bus stop. Johnson flags the bus to stop. Instead Romaine continues to drive recklessly speeding pass by the bus stop and jumped the curb where Johnson stood dragging him to his demise. We must use our voice to push for tougher penalties. These crimes are becoming an epidemic not only in New Jersey and across the nation!

Unbelievable! Stupidity! If this was the pain of the lawmakers the law would be changed really quick!

This hits home for three reasons. First, I am a native New Jersey. Second, I recently lost a loved one in a bus incident. Third, I still drive in New Jersey occasionally. We have to all do a better job driving carefully and taking care of one another on the roads.

This is not just happening in New Jersey, but all over the USA. Please take a moment & think about your family....Would you just let a reckless bus drivers and a driver killed one of your children/ families members? Stricter penalties should have already been on the law. But, that's what you get when you let the Government take control of raising our children & taking away the entire obeisance from the parents....No remorse! Our children do grow up to be adults, now you see without responsibility the need to show humans, this means no discipline, no concise, no nothing, because they don't care. Stricter Laws needs to be in place.

These reckless bus drivers should be charged with murder especially when the driver admitted seeing the passenger/pedestrian Johnson also if the pedestrian. They kill with the bus  just as if it were a weapon. I hope this man's family gets justice.

Someone needs to be the voice for those who are no longer here due to someone else's negligence and lack of empathy. We are their voice.

I'm signing this because something needs to change
The value of human life must be preserved.

NJ Laws are too liberal, this needs to change. If you take a life you must pay the price in Jail.

So heartbreaking. Whats wrong with these people who say they saw the person twice who trying to get on the bus an continue speeding then jumped the curb, then  admit to the police that he saw his victim with no remorse after they've killed or hurt a human being?

People should be held accountable for their irresponsible and reckless behavior.

JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL

People must be held accountable for their actions.

Too many innocent people loose their lives from these reckless bus drivers
My deepest condolences. This is a very sad situation that we see on the rise. 

There is such a lack of human compassion, no empathy just disconnect and selfishness. Weak laws encourage and support such behavior because people are not afraid to drive under the influence, texting, suspense license, masturbating, legal/ street drugs, fraction on their cdl licence, counting tickets or drunk knowing they will repeatedly get a slap on the wrist and be allowed to continue to drive. 

We need much stricter laws in every aspect to be the voice of the innocent.

We need to have stricter laws for those that have no compassion for human life

ALL Reckless Bus Drivers need Heavily Punished!

The acts of the driver are tantamount to Murder, which deserves a strong law to deter such actions.

AL L LIVES MATTER.THIS IS A SENSELESS CRIME

I'm signing this petition because my heart breaks for Johnson and there MUST be justice. People MUST be held accountable for their actions. For the government to allow leniency for reckless bus drivers....the blood of the innocent is on those law makers hands as well.

I am so sick of seeing this! The laws are allowing to bus drivers to get away with legalize murder and call it an accident without further investigation- especially if you the driver admitted see the victim and continue to kill him!!! You get time for killing an animal or gun violence. This type of killing is bus violence. 

 I don't understand why people don't think you should go to jail if you kill someone who are never going to go home to their love. Johnson mother, his family and closet friends life change for every.  Regardless of whether or not you injure someone and especially if you kill someone!!!!!!!!! Jail time. Period!!!!!

I want the driver to face charges. This young man should still be by his mother's side. He was takeing care of his disable mother.

Strength in unity!

How sad!! There needs to be punishment for this kind of thing, it's the same as murder!!

Deshon Johnson  " Late " Loving & Caring Son for 22 years+ Wonderful Years Deshon Deserves " Full " Justice, and the Non-Human P.O.S. Monster who Ran him down, then get away with vehicular homicide murder who was speeding and jumped the curb. Fled reckless speeding driving  which led to Johnson's Untimely Death Needs To Be Prosecuted Fully, then Imprisoned For The Remainder of his or her Miserable Life, or Publically ;~o

I'm signing because New York needs laws that protect victims and punish criminals, not the other way around.

New Jersey State legislators need to wake up and do their job!!

New Jersey law system isnt the greatest, especially now since governor Chris Christine has been in office.  

I'm signing this because all states need to have stricter laws for this very subject
I'm signing this because of what happened to Deshon Johnson when  Wilson Romaine was speeding and refused to pick up his passengers Johnson.   Sadly Johnson's Law has been ignored by the state assembly. Please reference the prior attempt to pass Johnson's Law.

You need to blame the governor  for all of this corruption and cover up with NJ Transit trains and buses because he over see NJ Transit; Essex County Prosecutor. You also can blame Essex County executive for ignore the construction work that was left for months where Johnson was killed. Once Johnson, got killed they rushed to fixed the area to cover up evidence of the scene.  

At a more general level, laws governing drivers' actions need to be tougher.

This a travesty of justice and needs to be addressed and changed asap.

I feel this should be a national law.

I lost my granddaughter to a careless bus driver. Having someone take your loved one's life and not be responsible is even worse.

This man has to be brought to justice.

This needs to change.

Current law isn't working for the victim.

Everyone should be held accountable for their actions, weather they're premeditated or an accident. There is no gray area in this matter. 

 Victims who killed by a reckless bus drivers are victims. As well as their family. They deserve just as much justice as a gunshot victim, or any other!

Because it also happened to our family. 5yr. old Benjamins death was never brought to justice. No one was ever even arrested or charged. Senseless!!!

THIS IS WRONG , YOU DO THE CRIME ,YOU DO THE TIME! THESE SENSELESS DEATH CAUSE BY RECKLESS BUS DRIVERS GETTING OUT OF HAND ALL OVER AMERICA,NOT JUST NEW JERSEY! WE MUST MAKE TOUGHER LAWS SO THEY WILL THINKS TWICE BEFORE THEY DO IT!!!

the penalties for a heinous act like this need to match deliberate cause of death offenses. There is not enough a deterent otherwise.

Not only does there need to be stricter penalties. But enforcement also needs to be increased. Their are other violations besides speeding law enforcement needs to look for.

 The sentence should be the same as murder - a life for a life.

Please stop this madness. Hold these people accountable for taking innocent lives. The public is at risk.

because this is wrong!!! these laws need to pass!

Must be prosecuted.

There should be mandatory sentencing on this no community service
Our laws must be changed so that committing murder with a bus is no longer treated lightly. It should be treated for what it is, murder/man-slaughter and punished accordingly. I realize the reason this has been difficult to be made into law is because most of us drive, lawmakers included. It's time we all take responsibility for our actions and the risks we incur behind the wheel.
Stricter Laws needed!!

I'm against reckless bus driving & any kind of crime that can lead an innocent person to be injury or lead to a death..

The loss of a life due to another negligence must be answered to and accounted for .
Speeding and jumping the curb then dragging the victim with the bus to his death should not be the better choice for these cowards. Raising the penalty to a C felony would save the lives that matter a great deal to all of us. Make it Johnson's law!

Senseless Crime Law need to be changed!

It sickens me that people can hit someone with a bus and leave them for dead because they are so selfish that they would rather let someone die than face the consequences of medical or under the influence. Then the prosecutor office cover it up. 

These bus driver or guilty but the prosecutor of vehicular homicide  try to cover it up like these police officer killing Afro-American around the world. They should receive life in prison! New Jersey state really needs to rethink bringing back the death penalty too instead of taxing honest citizens to house heinous criminals!

Such a tragedy! The law is so unfair in these situations.

Speeding reckless is a crime then killing, Killing should quadrupple it.

It IS a serious crime to kill someone, but current laws don't reflect that!

Stricter penalties will make people think twice about their job etc.

I'm signing because these drivers, depending on status, get off relatively lightly in these charges. If it is an accident, stopping when you hit someone shouldn't be a problem. This leads me to believe that there are other laws you are breaking at the time.

I believe if people start boycotting NJ Transit this shit will stop. You have to hit them in the pockets. Once people start car pooling or find other means of transportation they would fire these drivers and take the deaths seriously.

Serious issue and we need serious consequences.

This is important because bad drivers kill more people than guns. Anyone can be a victim and too many have been victimized already. I don't know why our legislators are blocking this. It is common sense.

Because bad drivers kill more people than guns. I don't know why our legislators would block something so obvious. They are scary.

Too many DWIS escape prosecution or serious penalties because of political connections and old boy support. One Family Court judge serving 30 +years on the bench is one example of the minimal consequences.

I'm signing this petition so they could be sticter penalties for hit and run drivers. No one should be able to walk away with a slap on the wrist.... they should be punish to the fullest.

We need to change the laws,,it could have been your loved ones. Let's make a change!

Changes need to be made and stricter punishment imposed.

Too many bad drivers get away with murder.

Hit and Run drivers are murderers! The family should not have to bare the feeling that the person that killed their loved one is no worse then being killed with a gun!!

The bus driver is not just a murder he is a theft because he stold Johnson life from him.

This bill will bring the felony class up to the level in Arizona. About time New Jersey caught up.

Human Life is precious, we don't have the right to take it lightly. 

This person should be held responsible, and any others in similar circumstances.

Make Reckless Bus Drivers responsible.

Killing people is a CRIME. Assault is assault. Manslaughter is
manslaughter Vehicular homicide is vehicular homicide. Running someone over while speeding and jumping the curb should count for more than a traffic offense.

This bus driver never was charged he walks away a free man is fucked up. 





Speeing+ admiting to seeing the victim + jumping the curb= flat right up murder





Bus   Drivers People are getting away with murder.



Pass legislation for stricter penalties for reckless bus drivers in New Jersey State.
