Never a dull moment on those Mehadrin segregated buses...A secular, 60 year old woman sat down in the front of a mehadrin bus in Ashdod -- in the area designated for men. A man in his twenties approached the woman and told her she was sitting in the area for men on a mehadrin bus. She promptly pulled out of her purse a canister of tear-gas and emptied its contents into the man's face.
The bus driver pulled over to the side of the road, opened all the windows, and called the police -- who detained the woman for questioning.
She told the police, "So what if its a bus full of religious people. Nothing will happen if I sit in the front of the bus."
After an investigation, the police are charging the woman with assault. She has been released on bail pending her trial. (news sources in Hebrew here and here)
Feminist hero, radical davkanik, obtuse or stupid?
Sounds like a mix of all the above.
