The union that represents transit operators in Seattle is planning a vigil to honor bus driver Shawn Yim, who was stabbed to death while working earlier this week.
Yim, 59, was killed by a passenger after an altercation on his bus early Wednesday morning. Seattle police continue to search murder suspect Richard Sitzlack, 53, who is considered armed and dangerous.
A small memorial has been set up at the site where Yim was killed.

So sad! Pure cowards probably filled with drugs
These drivers deserve protection -now!!!
Sincere condolences 🙏
Stop voting Democrat
That job is more dangerous than president.
Free Sizlack!
if you want change.. Let the COPS be COPS and don't put a short leash on them..
Absolutely my friend
Asians are on team Whyte supremacy, it was a family misunderstanding.
You should probably change the way you vote if you want real changes to happen
How about armed patrols 🚓 on all busses?
need police presense and security on every bus
Stop allowing people to just walk on get these courtesy rides. You ain't got money for gas guess what you don't drive anywhere
This is yet another result if too blue too long policies. Had enough yet?
Defund the police- yep, best Sawant idea ever and Seattle voters STILL vote for the DemoRats.
They always have a nice vigil for the victims in this dangerous city.Maybe its time for change
Dude was a known fare evader and wouldn't even be on the bus if the Metro and city did their jobs. I hope the Family sues!! but it's only the tax payers the pay for the incompetence of Democrats!!
This is a policy-driven tragedy that could be prevented by the city council members – stop defunding police and start prosecuting criminals- how hard is it to understand? People keep voting for democrats in Deep Blue cities, what else do you expect?
Sue the judge who let the killer out! 😡Will he be let free again ??
In Baltimore, Maryland bus drivers are in an enclosed plexiglass space.
